Vickie Stout and Carla Sue Atkins were half-sisters.

The teens, who were extremely close with each other, share the same mother.\\xa0 were very close.\\xa0 The girls walked to a combination bait shop, restaurant, and convenience store called "The Furnace" to pick up some snacks. Witnesses report seeing the girls talking to someone in a blue pickup truck. That\\u2019s the last time anyone has seen the sisters.

In the days that followed, local law enforcement labeled the sisters as runaways. A hiker then called the police after smelling a foul odor.\\xa0

Deputies discovered the girls\\u2019 bodies about 75 feet apart, along with shotgun shells and a light blue stain found on a tree.\\xa0 The autopsy revealed a shotgun killed the girls, but their bodies were too decomposed to reveal if they\\u2019d been sexually assaulted.\\xa0
