The Denton Police had lost four days by the time they found out 21-year-old Virginia Carpenter was missing. But when they did, searches were organized quickly, and information was dispatched to law enforcement nationwide. When Texas Ranger Lewis C. Rigler entered the case, one of his immediate concerns was interviewing a handful of folks, including Virginia’s suitor, Kenny. Although his one eyebrow remained raised at the thought of this young man’s potential motives, Ranger Rigler could find nothing implicating him. Upon the discovery that the Carpenter Family was acquainted with three of the victims of a series of depraved and notorious crimes in Virginia’s hometown of Texarkana, the lawman couldn’t help but wonder if the infamous Phantom Killer also had a hand in her disappearance.
