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. Though a special prosecutor who came to Gilmer with a gleam of glory in his eye tried to tie several individuals to Kelly’s abduction, imprisonment, rape, and slaying – including the man who’d been working nonstop to find answers, Gilmer Police Sergeant James York Brown – his attempts at creating a Satanic scandal ultimately failed.

There were three decent suspects who, had it not been for Satanic Panic, each might have proven to be responsible for at least had knowledge. Part 3 of 3.
