The Story of Jolaine Hemmy and Pecos Jane Doe
The Story of Jolaine Hemmy and Pecos Jane DoeBack in August 2019, we released an episode telling the story of the death of a Jane Doe at the Roper’s Motel in Pecos, Texas in July of 1966. Not long before that, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) contacted the new police chief there, Lisa Tarango, and asked her to work with them to identify the unknown drowned girl. Chief Tarango began looking into the case, but police files had since gone missing. Upon discovering a different type of file, a new likeness of Pecos Jane Doe was made, which kicked off a series of events that led to the discovery of her identity, officially announced on January 19th, 2021. The effort was a collaborative one, consisting of help from the Pecos Police, NCMEC, Innovative Forensic Labs, Othram Incorporated, and crowd funding.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database.

The Fort Worth Missing Trio Part 7: The Mall Passer, The Eleven, & No Ending
Two more semi-well-known criminals have been woven into the fabric of this story, the story of the disappearances of Rachel Trlica, Renee Wilson, and Julie Moseley. In this final part of our series on The Fort Worth Missing Trio: The “Mall Passer,” aka James Mitchell DeBardeleben, and the confessor of “The Eleven That Went To Heaven,” Edward Harold Bell. Though there is no evidence at all that either of these criminals were involved in the disappearance of the Trio, they have been forever written into the mythology of the case.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database.

The Fort Worth Missing Trio Part 6: The Other Private Investigator
When Private Investigator Dan James came on the case in the mid-1990s, he was continuing work he’d already been doing in his spare time since Rachel Trlica, Renee Wilson, and Julie Moseley disappeared on December 23rd, 1974. When reviewing the report he sent to the Fort Worth Police, it’s sometimes difficult to know exactly what the PI was reporting. Perhaps some of it was information only the cops would comprehend. However, a few of the leads James dug up are interesting, particularly the individual whose house Renee’s father, Richard Wilson, headed to almost immediately upon discovering the girls were nowhere to be found.

The Fort Worth Missing Trio Part 5: The Race Car Driver and Other Bad Actors
Whether officially or as the result of citizen sleuthing, there have been many persons of interest in the disappearances of Julie Moseley, Renee Wilson, and Rachel Trlica. On this episode: a suspect in the eyes of a retired Fort Worth burglary detective, a Cowtown Speedway stock car driver and convicted pedophile, a recently convicted abductor and killer of two young girls more than 1300 miles from Fort Worth, and a depraved Fort Worth man who is not only suspected in other area disappearances but who also likely forged letters in one of his likely victim’s names.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database.

The Fort Worth Missing Trio Part 4: Jon Swaim and the Brazoria Bones
After doing everything they knew to do and after coming to the conclusion that the Fort Worth Police were not, the families of 17-year-old Rachel Trlica, 14-year-old Renee Wilson, and 9-year-old Julie Moseley decided to get some outside help. They hired private investigator Jon Winter Swaim, a polarizing figure in the city who was known to get results, no matter what it took. After chasing down more leads than police, the private eye found the most promising one yet, or at least it looked that way, when human bones were found down in south Texas, in Brazoria County.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database.

The Fort Worth Missing Trio Part 3: From Nowhere to Nowhere
In the days and weeks following the disappearances of 17-year-old Rachel Trlica, 14-year-old Renee Wilson, and 9-year-old Julie Moseley on December 24th, 1974, and after the arrival of the infamous letter, things continued to grow more complicated and confusing. Bad tips, terribly cruel prank calls, and strange sightings took up more valuable time than the Wilson’s, the Moseley’s, and the Arnold’s had. Perhaps a few things, however, can be gleaned from the newspaper reports and Fran Arnold’s notes, which kept at the families’ activities at least somewhat documented. Still, though, nothing was panning out at the time...and nothing, really, had panned out in the following decades.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database.

The Fort Worth Missing Trio Part 2: The Letter
On December 24th, 1974, the day following the disappearances of 17-year-old Rachel Trlica, 14-year-old Renee Wilson, and 9-year-old Julie Moseley – Rachel’s husband received a letter in the mailbox. The letter claimed to be from Rachel and said that the missing girls had gone to Houston to, quote, “get away.” They’d be back in a week, it said. Contrary to what the police initially thought, no one in the families believed the young newlywed had written the note – let alone that the three girls who were so eager for the upcoming Holiday ran off and would miss it. The public got a hold of the letter decades later and speculation and rumor mounted. In 2017, a forensic handwriting expert weighed in with her professional opinion. Still, the mystery of the letters place in the disappearance of the Missing Trio continues to hold more questions than answers.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database.

The Fort Worth Missing Trio Part 1: Julie Moseley, Renee Wilson, & Rachel Trlica
On December 23rd, 1974, just a couple days before Christmas, three girls – 17-year-old Rachel Trlica, 14-year-old Renee Wilson, and 9-year-old Julie Moseley – set out for a shopping trip. They had two destinations in mind. One was the local Army Navy surplus/discount store, where Rene would get some items out of layaway, and the other was Seminary South Shopping Center. They no doubt made it to the Army Navy, but they were never confirmed to be seen anywhere else. At a little after 4 PM, Rene’s folks began searching for the girls. Their efforts, however, were futile and Rachel, Rene, and Julie haven’t been seen since. The story is shrouded in mystery and has become woven into the fabric of Fort Worth’s history.
