About this episode

The episode discusses the mysterious disappearances of girls in the Houston-Galveston area during the 1970s, focusing on the case of Colette Wilson.

In the summer of 1971, outside of Houston, Texas, Claire Wilson is six minutes late to pick up her 13-year-old daughter, Colette, after band practice. In those six minutes, Colette Wilson disappears. Weeks of frantic searching reveal nothing. For the next six years, girls vanish from the area between Houston and Galveston with frightening regularity. As their dead bodies begin to appear, they become known as the Galveston 11. Go to Incogni.com/infamous or use code INFAMOUS at checkout to get 60% off an annual plan with Incogni!
