Sisters Carla Atkins & Vickie Stout go for gum & crackers, found in shallow graves
Vickie Stout and Carla Sue Atkins were half-sisters.
The teens, who were extremely close with each other, share the same mother. were very close. The girls walked to a combination bait shop, restaurant, and convenience store called "The Furnace" to pick up some snacks. Witnesses report seeing the girls talking to someone in a blue pickup truck. That’s the last time anyone has seen the sisters.
In the days that followed, local law enforcement labeled the sisters as runaways. A hiker then called the police after smelling a foul odor.
Deputies discovered the girls’ bodies about 75 feet apart, along with shotgun shells and a light blue stain found on a tree. The autopsy revealed a shotgun killed the girls, but their bodies were too decomposed to reveal if they’d been sexually assaulted.
