When Private Investigator Dan James came on the case in the mid-1990s, he was continuing work he’d already been doing in his spare time since Rachel Trlica, Renee Wilson, and Julie Moseley disappeared on December 23rd, 1974. When reviewing the report he sent to the Fort Worth Police, it’s sometimes difficult to know exactly what the PI was reporting. Perhaps some of it was information only the cops would comprehend. However, a few of the leads James dug up are interesting, particularly the individual whose house Renee’s father, Richard Wilson, headed to almost immediately upon discovering the girls were nowhere to be found.
