    • True Crime

Betty Jo Booker’s friends are expecting her at a sleepover, but she never shows up. She’d been with a friend, Paul Martin, who is also nowhere to be found. The next morning, a family driving through Spring Lake Park finds the body of the teenage boy lying in the street. Booker’s body is found in a nearby community. Fear spreads throughout Texarkana as the police have very few leads.
