January 5, 1992

Kelly Dae Wilson, 17, went missing on January 5, 1992 after 8:30 PM.She worked at Northeast Texas Video on Buffalo Street in Gilmer, TX and was leaving work that night to head to Gilmer National Bank (old location) to drop off the deposit. Footage from the bank was unable to determine if Kelly was the one driving and making the deposit or not, but it did appear that there were two people in the car. 

Kelly's 1985 Dodge Charger was returned to the NTV parking lot after realizing her car tire was flat - this was due to the tire having been slashed. Michael Biby was charged for the slashed tire, but seems to have had no other ties to Kelly's disappearance. 

Within the car were Kelly's personal belongings, including her purse, but the car keys were missing. However, a family member claims that Kelly's keys were found in the front yard of her home a few days after her disappearance.

Kelly's final clothing and accessories description is: A dark purple rugby shirt with a red, gold and white insignia and a white collar and cuffs, stonewashed cut-off blue jean shorts with strings hanging, brown suede loafers, a gold domed ring, a gold and emerald ring, a gold bracelet, a gold watch, triangular earrings and a gold and diamond ring with an inset Mexican coin showing the image of an eagle.
