Missing Odell Children Trade Linked To Burlington Case
The search for Mary Alice Odell and Oscar James Odell, ages 13 and 15, widened as officials said a 1927 Nash used by the family was traded for a Model T Ford near Burlington. A washing machine motor reportedly owned by Odell was also sold nearby, with all parties stating they were bound for Little Rock Arkansas. Sheriff Petrus said descriptions were circulated widely and connected to letters from the Sunshine Mission. Odell, 42, an itinerant construction engineer, was detained for questioning over alleged marital history and admitted multiple marriages. Neither Odell nor the children's mother could explain a motive for the disappearance.
