There's a photo, but it's a bad scan of a not-very-good newspaper photo. Don't know if anybody can do anything with it?

Cold Cases: Local unsolved cases from the last 80 years

While Kentucky State Police recently identified the victim in a 1990 cold case in Daviess County, the case remains unsolved. It's also just one of many cold or unsolved cases over the last 80 years. Here's a quick look at some of the more notable ones we know about. Do you know anything about...

• <<James Galloway (died February 15, 1979)

Galloway was last seen on February 15, 1979, after leaving his house with friend Robert David Marsch. A 2018 article from the Hancock Clarion reported that Kentucky State Police Detective Marc Carter was looking into Marsch’s 1985 murder of Roger Boling, and that Carter potentially had enough evidence that Marsch was a serial killer who also murdered Galloway.>>

This is the only source I found for this information above...however they list James as dying Feb 15, 1979, and I don't believe his remains have ever been found. Very interesting info though.
