The Vanishing of Rozlin and Fawn Abell
Lost Girls - Podcast autorstwa Deep Dark Secrets
On July 25, 1985, sisters Rozlin Rochelle Abell (18) and Fawn Marlene Abell (15) left their home in Bethany, Oklahoma, to look for jobs. They never came back.
The girls were last seen hitchhiking near 59th and Rockwell, a habit they were known for—but this time, something went terribly wrong. Nearly four decades later, their family still waits for answers. Their Social Security numbers have never been used since that summer day, and no confirmed sightings have ever surfaced.

Together, they explore the timeline, the clues, and the lingering questions surrounding the case, while honoring the family’s enduring hope for justice.
