    You have to wonder what happened in those woods and how that baby was taken. It's very odd all around.

      There’s so many unanswered questions. This case is bizarre.
      1. Why were her parents in Houston on the day of their murder when they lived in Lewisville? Could they have been possibly thinking to relocate to Houston and were there to look for a new house? That’s the only possible explanation I can think of because they didn’t have any family or friends living there for them to visit.
      2. The date of when they died is not known. It’s widely believed they were killed between November 1980 - Early days of January 1981 as their bodies were discovered on the 12th January 1981. Heavily decomposed but faces were still recognisable.
      3. It’s not known if they were killed in the location where their bodies were found or they were murdered someplace else and later their bodies were dumped in the woods.
      I’m 99% sure this religious group were responsible for their deaths. Maybe they joined this cult thinking it was a genuine community then later wanted to leave after they found out they were doing shady things but the cult refused to let them go so they killed them? Though this doesn’t explain how they ended up in Houston which was 250 miles away from where they lived in Louisville. The sad thing about this case is that it has been 42 years so even if there were any eye witnesses who know more information about what happened to them, they are probably dead by now or too old to remember in full detail of the events that took place.
      One thing is clear about this case though. This wasn’t a random killing, whoever murdered them carefully planned it out and it had to have been someone or some people they knew and trusted.

      The adoptive parents likely filed for a birth certificate and sent after they adopted the abandoned baby. Its not uncommon for abandoned babies to not have records

      I agree, I don't think she was abandoned, I think she was kidnapped. But from the perspective of the church and the people who adopted her, she was abandoned at the church by the 2 women in white clothes

      Composites are just guesses and they're meant to be relatively generic so you can fill in details/blanks. It really isn't that bad either, it just has an open smile, the hair is down, and no glasses.

      The child (Holly), was dropped off at a church, the church adopted Holly to the family. The family had no way of knowing. Neither did the church. I'm not sure how they tracked her down? So yes, its confusing, but I don't think the family who adopted her isn't involved. They aren't suspects.
