Sipping on Some Crime

Mary 21 was last seen June 1st 1948 after being dropped off by a cab driver on the campus of Texas state college for woman in Denton TX. It’s been 76 years and her case is still unsolved but I have full faith it can be solved if we keep sharing her face.  Sources and Informative Links  https://www.facebook.com/MissingPleaseFindUs/posts/mary-virginia-carpenter-missing-from-denton-texas-since-1948mary-virginia-jimmie/1703655839883282/ https://doenetwork.org/cases/1880dftx.html https://charleyproject.org/case/mary-virginia-carpenter https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/196445541/mary-virginia-carpenter https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Virginia_Carpenter https://kfmx.com/missing-mary-a-look-at-the-oldest-unsolved-cold-case-in-texas/

Danielle Bell was last seen September 2001 at a party on the 500 block of Cedar Tree Lane and Highway 95A in Cantonment, Florida. Witnesses who attended that party with Danielle would tell investigators that they last saw Danielle leave the party with a man who was in his mid-20s at the time. It wouldn't be until six years later in 2007 that Alfredo Gomez Sanchez Junior would be charged with providing law enforcement with false statements about his whereabouts the day and time of Danielle's disappearance. Alfredo is currently serving time for lewd and lascivious acts against a minor and one of those charges is for Danielle Bell specifically, however they have not been able to charge him in her disappearance.  I sat down with Danielle's big sister Bonnie to learn more about her sister and what's happened so far with Danielles investigation in the last 23 years. Bonnie has made big strides pushing her sister's case forward and things are actively developing.  To keep up with the most current updates in Danielles case please follow Bonnie’s tiktok linked below:  https://www.tiktok.com/@alesbiancallingoutgrapes?_t=8mBeWVw2AcI&_r=1  I'll be adding all the links to follow Bonnie on her socials mainly TikTok so you can all go show her some love and support and follow along her journey to get Danielle to her justice and bring her back home to Bonnie.
