Sister Confesses Grim Truth About Parents After Two Girls Vanish
When investigators sink their teeth into a crime scene, they don't usually find the classic smoking gun. Rather, they might find something small — a hair, a mysterious hunch — that unravels the mystery. After two young girls from Kansas went missing while visiting their mother in Utah, evidence suggested they were just out being angsty teenagers. However, after a long investigation, a silent family member finally spoke up and blew the case wide open.
The Wolferts family
Kansas residents Brian and Michelle Wolferts were the parents to three girls and one boy. The daughters Danielle, Brittany, and Sydney were as close as sisters could be, but in 2011, the siblings were forced to face a life-changing situation.
Nasty split
Their parents divorced, and what ensued for the next few years was a brutal custody battle for all four kids. Finally, in 2014, a judge ruled that their father would get full custody, with one stipulation.
Sisters apart
This provision allowed for the younger girls, Danielle and Sydney, to visit their mother during the summers at her home in Utah. The oldest sister, Brittany, who was 19 years old, had moved out of the house already, so she didn't tag along.
No answer
Once the summer months went by, around the time the girls were supposed to return to Topeka, Kansas, where their father lived, Brian reached out to his daughters but received no answer. Then, he spoke with Michelle.
