Shortly after midnight on March 20, 1988, Stacie Madison and Susan Smalley, two seniors at Newman Smith High School in Carrollton, Texas, ventured out into the night. Their destination was Forest Lane, the legendary cruise strip known to every Dallas teenager as the premier hot spot for meeting up with friends. The girls were never seen again. 22 years later, the riddle of what became of them remains perhaps the most infamous unsolved mystery in the history of North Texas. This book is the first expose on the subject and, based upon original research, tells the intertwined stories of: the lives of these two young women; what is known about that fateful night; theories and speculation regarding their final fates, including a chapter devoted to a person of interest whom original case investigators insist was "never properly eliminated as a suspect"; and the impact this haunting event continues to have on the Carrollton community twenty years later.
