Okay, so I logged on to Facebook today, and none of his brothers have accepted my friend request.
However, I was looking through some old newspapers about DC today, and I found one that was published the day his body was found. IT suggested that the murderer killed DC, stole his 1971 cycle, and rode away. We know that isn’t true now, but it also stated that maybe the motive was related to a some sort of drug situation that had happened the earlier week in Cedar Falls, could this be a motive? I know that DC was only a hitchhiker but maybe he was accidentally involved in some way.
Also, what’s with the confusion as to how many times DC was shot. I’ve seen conflicting reports that either he was:
Shot 3 times in the stomach.
Shot 5 times in the chest.
Most sources say he was shot in the stomach, and in an interview, a news cameraman who visited the scene said, ‘He was on his back, clad in work clothes, his arms covering his face, and 3 bullet holes in his lower trunk.’
On another note, I think it’s a strange coincidence that he ended up with his arms over his head in a defensive position if he was just thrown in the ditch like I’ve read, the ditch wasn’t on a slant. But maybe he just landed or was placed that way, I don’t know.
Anyways, I will continue researching, if I find anything more, I will post here!
