Julie's aunt said that RayAnne was 100% sure that Julie called her at least once.I'm not dismissing McAlpine's story about El Dorado Jane Doe as quick as some people.Another websleuther who I have worked with on this case has done a great bit of research on the family mentioned from the Ft.Worth area mentioned in her bible and even locating where the KFC would have been that EDJD told people she worked at in the area.There may have been no confrontation at all just a kidnapping.This case goes against two what I usually look at being most likely that being the husband is usually the number 1 suspect for me and two I'm usually the last to suspect human trafficking when young non homeless white girls go missing especially three at one time but in my opinion.I think this was a money move and the girls probably were held for the rest of their lives how ever long that may have been.Fran might be the only one out there who knows the truth (although her sister-in-law may also know). Fran may not know where or how the bodies were disposed of.

If Cotton had planned to kill Rachel, doing it while she had two other girls with her would have been very reckless; there would have been better opportunities. Odds are a confrontation at her parents' house led to the killing of Rachel at that location.
(Maybe Julie or Renee walked in on Cotton sexually assaulting Rachel; maybe Rachel got in the middle of an argument between Cotton and Fran; who knows.) Whether the other two girls were killed immediately or held for a couple of days is anybody's guess.
