Wilson was last seen at the Seminary South Shopping Center on December 23, 1974. She was accompanied by Mary Rachel Trlica and Julie Ann Moseley . The three girls were Christmas shipping. Races car, an Oldsmobile, was found locked in the parking lot with the keys gone and no sign of struggle that evening; a wrapped present was on the backseat floorboard.
Authorities initially believed the girls willingly ran away, however their families insisted otherwise.
A few days later, a letter from Rachel arrived at the home of her husband, Thomas. "I know I'm going to catch it, but we just had to get away. We're going to Houston. See you in about a week. The car is in Sear's upper lot. Love Rachel." The letter was written by a right-handed person while Rachel was left-handed. Handwriting experts are uncertain who wrote the letter; their tests were inconclusive. Rachel's own name was also misspelled. While initially the letter was thought to have been mailed from Eliasville in Young County, the U.S. Postal Service has determined that it was mailed in Fort Worth, Texas. Foul play is possible and the case is still actively investigated.
