Rozlin Abell was 18 when she and her 15-year-old sister Fawn disappeared from their Bethany, Oklahoma home in the summer of 1985. On July 25 they told family they were going out to look for jobs; their brother Otto recalled one sister saying Hurry up, they’re waiting for us down the street as they left the area of Northwest 59th and Rockwell. Both girls were known to hitchhike, and neither has been seen or heard from since that day.

The investigation stalled for years. Fawn’s case was originally treated as a runaway, and no police report was filed for Rozlin because she was an adult. In March 2010 their brother contacted the Bethany Police Department, prompting a fresh review; a detective then found that Fawn had briefly been entered in NCIC and removed for unknown reasons, while Rozlin had never been entered. Authorities say there was no initial evidence of foul play but note neither sister’s Social Security number has been used since 1985. The family has raised multiple theories over time, including a debunked tip about a serial killer and concerns about the sisters’ deceased father.

Did anyone in Bethany in 1985 remember seeing the sisters or picking them up while they were hitchhiking?
