On the night of Sunday, January 5th, 1992 in the small town of Gilmer, Texas 17-year-old Kelly Dae Wilson vanished without a trace. With virtually no clues and fewer leads the investigation moved slow, but it certainly wasn’t for the lack of effort on the part of Kelly’s family, a diligent Gilmer Police Sergeant named James York Brown, and Upshur County Sheriff Buck Cross. One of the first leads came when 20-year-old Angela Hammond disappeared 500 miles north of Gilmer in Clinton, Missouri, but it fizzled out fast. After that, the investigation into the disappearance of Kelly Dae Wilson took a series of turns for the worse, including red herrings and a bad case of Satanic Panic. Part 1 of 3.
