Everyone was saying different things about what happened the night Alberta went missing. In Jack’s interview with the police, he said that Alberta got into a black truck with a white male with long blonde hair. But, Alberta’s friend, Vera Derrick, said that she saw Alberta in the passenger seat of a black car with a young man with dark curly hair. In Donna’s statement, she said that Alberta showed up with three men in a black truck, one of them being Jack. A woman named Teresa, also said that she saw Alberta talking to a man with dirty blonde hair who was driving a van. Another, from Claudia’s boyfriend at the time, Wayne Benson, said that he saw Alberta get into a green truck that had a canopy at the back. There was also a couple who saw Alberta get into a black truck comfortably with three white men. Therefore, we do not know what happened after Alberta’s disappearance in Bogey’s.
