A 47-year-old woman from Penn Hills, Pennsylvania is in hot water after her twins disappeared ten years ago and no one seemed to notice.
But when the police were called and the mother was questioned about where the kids were, she made a shocking admission that only led to further questions, a futile search, and a terrible mystery that has to be solved after ten years.
On June 20, Child Services contacted the police and requested that Patricia Fowler’s kids be taken from her house.
At the time, four kids were removed from the house. On July 6, however, child services had a worrisome realization and re-contacted the police.
There were supposed to be six kids living there, but Fowler’s fraternal twins, Ivon and Inisha Fowler weren’t there.
When asked about the twins, their father stated that Fowler had told him they were staying with an aunt in South Carolina. Fowler reportedly disclosed to the police that a South Carolina woman was in charge of the kids. However, when authorities spoke with the woman, she said she had no idea Fowler had twins.
Fowler suddenly confessed to investigators that she had sold the twins for $2,000 apiece ten years prior. She stated during the police questioning that she met Mike, a man, in a bar, who introduced her to Barbara, a woman.
As per Womenafter40, Fowler claimed that the woman paid the kids many visits before buying them for a total of $4,000.
She had to be told that selling one’s children was against the law during the police questioning, at which point she withdrew her claim. She’s all over the place, and that’s the problem, the police chief stated. We just are unsure of what to believe or not believe.
The kids do exist, but where they are is still a mystery, according to Penn Hills Police Chief Howard Burton. According to Burton, who spoke to WTAE News, “they do exist because at one time, when they were 3 or 4 years old, I believe, CYF (child services) did take those two children from Fowler.” Sadly, a few days later, the kids were sent back to Fowler.
