Fort Worth missing trio: Family of Julie Moseley shares their story
FORT WORTH, Texas - Half a century ago, a trio of girls from Fort Worth vanished.
This past holiday season, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) raised awareness on the 50th anniversary of their disappearance.
Mary Rachel Trlica, 17, Lisa Renee Wilson, 14, and Julie Ann Moseley, 9, haven't been seen since the morning of Dec. 23, 1974.
The family of the youngest girl is sharing their story.
Who is Julie Ann Moseley?

The backstory:
Terry Moseley, Julie's brother, was 15 at the time. He and his aunt, Sandy Harkcom, spoke to FOX 7 from the Fort Worth area.
"She loved to wear ponytails and get out there and roughhouse or whatever, she was just a kid," Terry said.
"This sweet little girl," Sandy said.
The Moseley family lived near Renee's grandparents. Terry was dating Renee, who was friends with Rachel. Renee wanted Terry to go to the mall with them, but he didn't go. Neither did his other sister, Janet.
"Julie going was a total fluke," Terry said.
Julie had to convince their mother to let her go.
"She kept on and kept on, and [her mother] had just got that job so she really couldn't, you know, just stay on the phone and argue with Julie, so she said go, but be back at a certain time, and so she went," Sandy said.
Julie's mother has since passed away.
"My mom beat herself to death the rest of her life after saying yes that one time," Terry said.
Terry says the three girls went to the Army/Navy store, then to Seminary South Shopping Center. They never came back home. Rachel's car was found at the mall.
The next day, a mysterious letter signed by Rachel was sent to the Trlica residence.
It read, "I know I'm going to catch it, but we just had to get away. We're going to Houston. See you in about a week. The car is in the Sear's upper lot. Love, Rachel."
None of the families believed she wrote it.
"Every member of the families immediately went, 'nuh uh.' This isn't happening, it's not real. They did not run away," Terry said.
"Why would they take a nine-year-old girl to Houston?" Sandy said.
"Most kids don't want to run off right before Christmas," Terry said.
He also says they don't believe many of the theories they've heard over the years.
"I think that someone that knew them got them to go along," he said. "The place was packed with people... it's not like now where people pull out their phones and video you being kidnaped. The people that were around at that time would have done something. There would have been action taken."
Why you should care:
"If you think you know something about this case, please contact the Fort Worth Police Department. Even if you think it's just insignificant or wouldn't mean anything, just call and tell them about it, and hopefully they would act on it," Sandy said.
"The only way the case will be solved is the person that did it comes forward and can prove they did it," Terry said. "Unless something like that happens, I don't think it'll ever be solved."
NCMEC has age-progressed photos of the girls.

They usually make age-progressed photos every two years after a child goes missing until they turn 18, then every five years as an adult.
"We never forget about a missing child, no matter how long time has passed. We try to continue to assist in the search as long as it takes. We don't give up hope," Leemie Kahng-Sofer with NCMEC said. "We know that it could take just one person with information, one development to break a case wide open. We maintain that hope for this trio."
It's been 50 years of wondering what happened.
"It's just something you'd have to live through, and I wouldn't want anybody to live through that," Sandy said.
"I didn't ever think I'd be 66 years old and sitting here still talking about how this case is crazy and unsolvable, and I never dreamed way back that it'd be like this, but it is," Terry said.
