UNSOLVED

Evie Nicole Ford, Diana Lizzie Vickers, and Colette Jing Wong are three girls who disappeared while hiking Mt. Philo in Charlotte, Vermont.

All three girls were born and raised in Ithaca, New York. The girls grew up friends together, as they lived in the same neighborhood. Evie and Colette lived right next door to each other, meanwhile Diana lived right across the street from Evie. They were always at each other's homes, and, reportedly, all had a love for birds.

"If they had nothing to talk about, they would talk about birds," Evie's mother, Hannah Ford, said in her interview. "I remember that. If it ever got awkwardly quiet at dinner, Evie would just start telling us bird facts, and she always had new ones. Nora {Colette's mother} and Britany {Diana's mother} always said the same thing about their girls. Awkward silence? Birds."

The girls decided to go Mt. Philo, in Charlotte, Vermont, as it is known for a good place for seeing hawks. They were accompanied by Colette's older brother, twenty-five year old Jamie Wong. They arrived on the night of the 21st of October and decided to hike the mountain the next day. At around 3:00PM (EST time), the girls had been separated from Jamie, though not by accident. Jamie said that he was getting tired so he opted to go back to their hotel room and the girls said they would just get an uber or something.

So, Jamie returned to their hotel room. Mt. Philo State Park closes at 5PM (EST time), so he expected the girls to come back no later than six or so. Well, six'o'clock came and went and the girls were not back. Jamie tried calling them, to no avail. They would not answer his texts, nor calls. So, he went to the Charlotte police department and filed a missing person's report. He gave all the information he could and then contacted the parents, who arrived in Charlotte that night.

"It's a certain kind of terror," Kyle Wong, Colette's father, said in her interview. "To hear your son tell you that your daughter, his sister, and her friends are missing. It's indescribable. I honest to god can't find the words to describe just how I felt."

The Vickers family did not wish to comment.

Three days after their disappearance, their bags were discovered, all with their phones, cameras, and other assorted belongings.

A month after the girl's disappearance, a man who has remained anonymous, came into the Charlotte police department, believing he saw them getting into the car of a man. He said that the girls looked calm, so he didn't suspect anything. It wasn't until he saw their faces plastered on the news that he became worried.

Today, Evie Ford, Diana Vickers, and Colette Wong, are still considered missing.

Evie, Diana, and Colette, if you are seeing this, please know that no one will be mad at you. Your families just want you home, or at the very least to know you are alive. If you are able, please just come home.

And, if you know anything, we ask that you please contact the Charlotte, Vermont police department.
