Ep. 5 // Cinda Pallett & Charlotte Kinsey - Oklahoma City
It was a warm and fairly windy day in Oklahoma City on September 26, 1981. Cinda and Charlotte were excited to attend the fair together that afternoon. It was the first time they were allowed to go by themselves. Around 5:00pm both girls called home and talked to their mothers. Charlotte told her mom that they had both been offered jobs helping a carnival worker unload stuffed animals from a truck. Her mom, Paula, agreed to the request, but told Charlotte she needed to call at 9:00pm. Cinda’s mom, Norma, told Cinda to do the same thing, as they were planning a sleepover and Norma needed to know where to pick them up from.
The girls were last seen at the fairground at 5:30pm that evening. Neither of the girls called home at the 9pm deadline. Through many twists, turns, lies and dead ends we now know the girls are most likely victims of murder. But where are their remains? Will they ever be found?
