Vanished in the Woods, Stolen from a Front Yard: Texas Missing Children Desirree Caroll & Bradley Gilbert
About this episode
When a child goes missing is one of the most terrifying nightmares for any community. Join us as we share the stories of two children in 80's Texas. Desiree Carroll, a toddler, was last seen walking down the wooded road outside a small town by her mother in her rearview mirror. Did Desiree disappear into the woods and a victim of mother nature, or is foul play involved? Six-year-old Bradley Gilbert played outside his aunt's home with his brother, when a couple jumped out of a car and snatched Bradley. Join us on Box in the Basement, and help us solve a cold case.
