    The Carousel Killer's Unfinished Ride: Two Girls, One Chair

    The Carousel Killer's Unfinished Ride: Two Girls, One Chair Imagine finding a missing person seated on a carousel horse, dead for over a year, in a cinder-block storage bay. The room didn't smell of rot, but a chemical mix of floor wax and turpentine, hinting at a meticulous, disturbing scene. What kind of killer arranges their victims with such macabre artistry? In this episode, we delve into the chilling discovery of Rachel Holt, a booking coordinator who vanished from Dellwood, Florida, in January 2010. Her disappearance was initially filed as a voluntary absence, but a detective's keen eye for detail uncovered inconsistencies that pointed to a far more sinister truth. Person: Rachel Holt Date: July 14, 2011 (discovery) Location: Dellwood, Florida Status: Deceased Case: Voluntary adult disappearance (initially) - Rachel Holt was found seated on a white carousel horse, wearing a blue sundress, dead for 18 to 26 months. - Her apartment showed no signs of struggle, but her running shoes, phone, and a scorched coffee pot suggested an unexpected departure. - Rachel's calendar had a circled, ink-written permit renewal meeting in Ocala for the morning after she disappeared. - Three carousel figures-a white horse, a red bear, and a green rooster-went missing from Meridian Midways' inventory shed between January and March 2010. - Thomas Rogers, the facilities and grounds coordinator, was the sole daily presence at the winter quarters during the off-season.
