  1. I remember how profound your last post about these girls was. I searched th story up when you first wrote of it. I check the Charley Project periodically to see if there is an update. Hopefully, one day these two girls will be found so their families have closure (whatever that really means when your life is shattered beyond repair).

  3. I am sure that the parents appreciated the time you took to present the original story with warmth and accuracy.

    In this short version you have again touched hearts. You have told us of both the beauty and the ugliness in the world. You highlighted the beauty and I challenge everyone to do that in life. May we notice and appreciate the beauty around us every day.

  4. I lived in Oklahoma City when the girls went missing. I was a new mother at the time. I remember the case well. I have a picture of my daughter at the fair a couple of years after that. She was a happy toddler, a runner. I put a child harness and leash on her before we left to go to the fair.

  5. I can't even imagine! I was wondering though…the man who is thought to have kidnapped them and was serving time for kidnapping two other girls…did he harm those girls? Is he still alive?

    1. He has died. So has the prosecutor. One girl got away. Which is why he was sent to prison. A witness alive. They never found the other one. Think they were off an Indian Reservation. Google Royal Russell Long and you'll probably find it.

  6. I can't comprehend the loss these families went through. I know the world is full of ugly evil people, but to do something so horrible to children is just unimaginable. Your writing and keeping Charlotte's memory alive is so touching. You know I reported mantpy criminal cases here in the LA Superior Court system for years and often times out of the blue I reflect on a case I reported and the family and victims. It is strange to think back, but I just feel it's part of our make up.

  7. How heartbreaking for the family to not have the closure of where and what happened to their daughters. Good to see that you can still remember her and write about her here so others can know her story.
    Great post Brenda.

  8. I can only imagine what these families went through..34 years of wondering..34 years of praying..34 years of still thinking they might walk in the door at any moment…I do believe not knowing is much worse than knowing what happened to them…

  9. Things like this will stick with us and for good reason. You write to eloquently about it. So sad and it continues to happy. I feel for the family.

  10. It's hard to imagine how people can survive such a thing…not knowing what happened. I can certainly understand why you'd remember and care as well…and it is awful to imagine what could have happened 🙁 That's the worst part.

  12. That's bizarre because just last night I was watching something about another young woman who disappeared into thin air. It resonated with me so much I couldn't sleep, thinking of the family and their loss and heartache. It's so tragic that time after time people get away with these heinous crimes. You are a wonderful person, Brenda, with a big heart.

  13. It's nice to know that someone besides family, continues to remember this child and wants to know what happened to her. One day we will know. I can't imagine losing a daughter this way and never knowing what happened to her.

  14. Brenda, This is sad….for many reasons. Just thinking of the family's loss is rough. Hope your day is a good one, xoxo,Susie
