[3] On March 18, 1990, Dannette and Jeannette Millbrook walked to the local Christ Presbyterian Church on Laney Walker Boulevard.

[3][4] After receiving the $20 for bus fare and a little extra for snacks, the teens went to their cousin's house and asked her to walk home with them.

[3][4] After their disappearance, family members considered it unusual that the twins made multiple requests for company on the walk home that day.

[2] Both girls had pierced ears, shoulder-length hair styled in Jheri curls, and they both have a scar near their navels from a surgery shortly after birth.

The family reports that they were told the case was closed when the girls turned 17 because they had reached an age at which they could no longer be legally forced to come home if found.

[3][1] Mistakes in reports from the original investigation, such as misspelling the last name as "Millbrooks" and listing Jeannette's middle name as "Latressa", have remained unchanged in case files and can still be found on associated databases such as The Charley Project and National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

[3][1][2][6][7] Despite the case being closed in 1991, family members continued to persistently contact the sheriff's department to inquire about the whereabouts of the twins over the years.

A close relative did have children in the foster care system, leading the family to believe that this was the source of the confusion.

[8] In media releases the sheriff was quoted as saying, “We think a terrible injustice has been done for the last 20 years” which helped to fuel interest in the new investigation.

[10] The producers of the podcast The Fall Line have taken an active role in the search for Dannette and Jeannette, and helped raise a $10,000 reward.

[12] Skeletal remains of an unidentified black female were found in Aiken County on January 25, 1993 and were believed to be the result of a homicide occurring sometime between 1990 and 1992.

[5] Their father, John Millbrook, passed away in 2021 and spent the last few years of his life living in a nursing home while suffering from dementia; however, he had expressed no desire to look for his daughters.

[3] The case of the twins’ disappearance has been discussed on several other podcasts including My Favorite Murder, Thin Air, The Trail Went Cold, Unresolved, and Crime Junkie.
