In Texarkana, Texas on June 1st, 1948, 21-year-old Virginia Carpenter hopped aboard the 3 o\u2019clock train to Denton, where she was to attend a couple courses during the summer semester at Texas State College for Women. She arrived at 9:05 that night, but soon after, vanished into thin air. Her mother Hazel didn\u2019t find out for four days, and much to her dismay, no effort had been made by the college to try and locate her, even as her luggage lay on the front lawn of the dormitory where she was registered. The Denton Police, to their credit, acted fast, but with four days of investigation lost, the trail they were working with was already cold.
