The Trail Went Cold - Episode 330 - The Fowler Twins

June 20, 2016. Penn Hills, Pennsylvania. The Allegheny County Office of Children, Youth and Families order the Penn Hills Police Department to remove multiple children from the home of a woman named Patricia Fowler. The authorities soon realize that two of Patricia’s children, 17-year old twins Ivon and Inisha Fowler, are no longer in her custody and an investigation reveals that they have not been seen for around 10-15 years. Patricia provides conflicting stories about what happened to the twins, but even though she faces legal trouble for her deception, there is no evidence to prove that she harmed her children and investigators are unable to pin down how and when Ivon and Inisha went missing. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we chronicle the unusual disappearance of the Fowler twins, which somehow managed to go unnoticed for several years. Special thanks to listener Kim Fritz for narrating the opening of this episode.

If you have any information about this case, please contact the Penn Hills Police Department at (412) 798-2035.
