Really enjoying this series on Trenny guys. Laura really has a good grip on the case. I hope someone cracks and finally tells the truth of what happened to her.
I concur
I am enjoying Laura's content. Her reporting and research is compelling! Laura, you need a podcast ma'am! Thank you for being a voice for Trenny and her family.
Thank you!
@@laurariste9775 do you have any updates or new information to share. I still wonder about Trenny.
@@rb4382
Stay tuned for another episode in the Trenny series on Mussing coming soon, as some new information has come to light recently. A documentary film about her case is also well underway. Please keep Trenny in your thoughts and prayers! Thank you for listening.
@@laurariste9775 oh that is great news! I will be looking for another episode and I am so relieved someone is making a documentary. Its never to late to find the truth.
Thank you Laura, Tim, and Lance
I'll admit it. I already hit the like button even though I haven't listened yet. I have however listened to the other 4 in this series about Trenny and not only is it a fascinating case, Laura is amazing! I love hearing what she has to say about this. So I already know I will like this episode. Now time to play on.....
Absolutely comprehensive research throughout this whole series. If I went missing, i'd want Ms. Laura on the trail.
Thank you😊
I’m enjoying the series on Trenny. Laura has put in a great deal of research, and it certainly shows in her extensive knowledge of the case. I have some thoughts about a couple of aspects. I highly doubt the principal would have affirmed Bowman’s presence at school for the entire day if he only had confirmation of him being in homeroom. Based on reports, Bowman was a known troublemaker at school, and one of a few black kids in the school at that time, so he would have easily stuck out to the principal and teachers. For such a serious matter, the principal probably verified his attendance with each of his teachers and/or may have even seen him periodically throughout the day. Simpson had Trenny’s comb, and another student had her jewelry. Both should be questioned intensely by authorities, particularly the female student who had the jewelry. Following the jewelry trail could bust this case wide open.
You’ve raised some good points about Kelvin Bowman, but it being a Friday that this whole thing happened, I have my suspicions as to why and how Kelvin may have been able to leave the school and not be accounted for. You’ve heard me speak about attendance being poorly taken and recorded. Let’s just say that there was an excellent possibility that some of the staff in higher office at Bearden, may have been more than a bit distracted just before the weekend.
@@laurariste9775 I agree about the comb and jewelry. How would Individuals have such intimate items and it not be followed up on? Even more, why would classmates want to harm Trenny. She sounds like a regular kid. I'm not seeing a trigger point? Seems she was victimized on 2 occasions. Why was she marked as a victim? Its a compelling question. Thanks for all your research.
@@rb4382 Don’t I know it! For the most part, a regular kid. But I believe something happened in her life a year prior to kick off or trigger all of this, both the break- in by a student and her disappearance. Going back to 1975/1976 and fitting the pieces is the key. It’s been said that you can’t move forward by looking backward. But unless you make peace with the past and tie up any loose ends, how can you have a peaceful present/future?
@@laurariste9775 An interesting observation. There very well may be a precipitating event. Some offense whether real or perceived? The break-in and later disappearance (kidnapping/assault/murder) cannot be coincidencea. The break in sounds as if it was sexually motivated. After the disappearance 2 individuals have her personal belongings and don't seem to be ashamed to possess them. Trophies? Of what? Who would want to harm (punish) Trenny? What was their motive? Revenge? For what. I think if u identify the motive u can identify the person responsible.
@@laurariste9775 Thank you so much for the work you've done on this case and for taking the time to talk to Missing about it. Can I ask, do you think what happened to Trenny was planned or a prank gone too far? There are elements of this that suggest forward planning to me which is particularly creepy.
Laura - do you have a regular podcast concerning this specific case? I would love to see it solved. Also, do you have a good idea of who is sending the threatening messages? Thanks.
Not a regular podcast, no. Just the 5 episodes on this series and at least one more is in the works. Yes, I know who is behind the messages, they can keep them coming, 😆

You can check out this interview I did with Steve Stockton last year.
I wish you guys could take a look into the 1974 disappearance of the Fort Worth three. On Dec 23, 1974, three girls aged 17, 14, and 9 went to the mall to go Christmas shopping and never made it back home. Literally there has been no leads and nothing found in almost 46 years!! The family is literally dying for answers. Look up the wikipedia article I wrote on the case under "Fort Worth Missing Trio".
I’ve heard of this case from long ago, a friend of mine, Robin Warder, devoted an episode on it on his podcast “The Trail Went Cold”. Somebody that either the girls kind of knew, or perhaps someone in authority like a security guard ( or dressed as one) would have been the most likely candidates to lure the girls away. Or someone who made them think that something was wrong with their car. The letter that Rachel’s husband received is a total hoax.
Well done. Her case must me solved.
A few years ago, Her story was the 1st one I ever watched and Her lsst name is similar to mine. Just saying & saying prayers for all families Who suffer with this...
I hope she’s found I pray for it 🥺
It's an unsolved case. Perhaps it's time for police investigators to put some people under oath and interrogate them.
has jewelry of missing girl and police did nothing? wtf
The student that had the jewelry claimed that Trenny had given it to her when questioned by police.
I heard on one of the other videos that Trenny was possibly in that Mellinger Death Ridge area. That area is literally impossible to walk thru & easy to get lost in from what I’ve researched. The killer would have needed help. Unless it’s in a near by area in that location.
Why would Robert be screening calls? That is bizarre: he was not an adult.
Because he wanted to be in the loop and see what was being said.
IMO - Could Trenny have been taken to California to await the birth of her child?
Maybe, but that’s the complete opposite side of the country
IMO - But Mr. Gibson went to California a couple of time afterwards........
He did go to California , and we don’t know what for. If Trenny were pregnant there were places to go much closer to home to await the birth of a child. My opinion is that Trenny would have surfaced years ago and contacted her family if she had gone away. But to disappear and never again resurface suggests something else, just my opinion
I’ve been thinking about the jewellery and wondering why she had to remove her necklace in the wash room? Maybe the other girls saw this as boasting, taking off all her jewellery and asking another girl to take care of it just while she washed her hands could have been seen as Trenny making sure everyone saw/admired her jewellery (not victim blaming just trying to see it from their view). Has it been mentioned if the first girl gave it straight back after Trenny had finished in the washroom? Did Trenny just leave it with her for the rest of the hike and if so why? Maybe then that girl gave it to Simpson when she knew Trenny was missing. If she lent out her jewellery then maybe she lent out the comb too
The thing about Trenny was that it would be extremely unlikely for her to take off her jewelry anyplace but at home. Even for hand washing. Her jewelry was semi-valuable and Trenny was particular about her things. One person that went to church with Trenny and her family, told me about how the young girls at church would try on each other’s jewelry, clothing, etc. Trenny would not participate in this. Her stuff was her stuff, and that was it. She was also fussy about her comb. I understand her behaviour because I was that way about my things, too, when I was her age.
@@laurariste9775 thanks for replying Laura, I must be mistaken, I thought I heard she took it off while she washed and gave it to a girl while she did
@@yorkie.
No problem. Robert Simpson claimed that Trenny took the jewelry off in the washroom and gave it to another girl “to hold for her”. That’s probably where you got the idea.
@@laurariste9775 thanks Laura and amazing work. It's fascinating. 💕

Laura Riste. Hi I thought there is a book on Amazon about this case? I can't find it. What is the title?

Ok thanks!
Aiden mattis of the lord lodge said he could find no robert simpson that went to bearden high.
He obviously didn’t look very hard, Robert Simpson attended Bearden High from 1974-1977. His senior photo appears on my site, class of 77.
Oh yes there were doctors in Tennessee that did ab*rtions then. I think in Chattanooga possibly. That's where they took her, maybe.
I was a teenager during this time period, everything points in one direction: it sounds like she got pregnant by the young black friend. Ab*rtions happened, believe that. They used this trip as a cover.
I once knew of a young girl in this very situation, during that time, at the same age. Her ab*rtion was done in Tennessee..fact. This place was known of by her cousin that was a little older, he took her to get it. They told her they could do it only up to 3 months along, she lied to them, she was further along but desperately wanted the ab*rtion. When they began she began bleeding heavily, and they realized she was much further along, but didn't stop the procedure. The doctor and nurse haggled over whether to call an ambulance, but didn't. She was sent home in very bad condition, she nearly died.
It's a strange feeling seeing how much their stories are alike. Very sad.
No way Simpson distracted Trenny til Kelvin got there. The kids didn't know where they were going, and there were no cell phones in the 70's. Plus the Principal said Kelvin was in school that day. This is bull..
But if Trenny had looked off the trail and saw Kelven Bowman, she would have took off and ran on down the trail for her life. Its possible that she saw somebody she thought she could trust, as in maybe that person called out to Trenny and acted like they needed help, and when Trenny got down there to her, the person ended up leading her to where Kelvin was waiting. Trenny was lured into a trap.
