Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance:
Rachel asked her friend, Lisa Renee Wilson, to go shopping with her at the mall. The girls allowed, Julie Ann Moseley, to go with them. Julie’s older brother, Terry, was dating Lisa Renee Wilson at the time. The girls left around 10:45AM to go to the Army/Navy Store to pickup Christmas presents that were on layaway. They headed to the Seminary South Shopping Center and parked Rachel’s vehicle on the upper parking level near Sears. Witnesses told police they had seen the girls in the mall that day. Police believe the girls returned to the car at some point that afternoon, but unsure of what happened to them after. Rachel’s Oldsmobile was found around 6:00PM in the parking lot, locked and with the presents in the car. One witness said they saw three girls being “hustled” into a pickup truck by unidentified men. Another witness said he saw a girl being forced into a van. Another witness said they saw the three girls in a pickup truck with a young male security guard around 11:30PM on the day they went missing. None of the stories have been verified. A letter arrived at the Trlica residence a few days later postmarked December 24, 1974, the day after the girls went missing. It was addressed to "Thomas A. Trlica" and the name "Rachel" was written in the upper left corner of the envelope. The letter stated, "I know I'm going to catch it, but we just had to get away. We're going to Houston {Texas}. See you in about a week. The car is in Sear's {sic} upper lot. Love Rachel." Rachel’s mom and husband never believed that she had written the letter. Police officials have said that they now believe the girls left the mall with an individual that they trusted and were harmed afterwards. Their cases remain unsolved
