Bumping this thread up. There was some sort of legal decision made which caused Michigan to release a lot of criminally insane inmates from mental hospitals in early 1972. I wonder if this seemingly senseless murder might have been related. One of the released inmates was Gary Addison Taylor...

Bumping this thread up. This murder of a little boy occurred 91 years ago.

30 years missing.

I think that the first mention of a possible "carnival" or "circus" connection to this case was as wild speculation in an old newspaper article. The context was NOT that a carnival worker might have abducted Dickie but rather that he might at some time (months earlier) have met a boy who had run...

Agreed. The knife could very likely have the killer's DNA on it. If he managed to cut himself, the bowling ball might also have his DNA.

Hazel (Bowling) Cross went missing 3 May 1973. The Toledo (Ohio) Police Department is the investigating agency with jurisdiction in her case. If you have any information, contact them at 419-245-3119

17 March will mark 82 years since Major Robert Clark went missing (1944). It is possible that there could be an investigation report in files of the Hoke County (North Carolina) Sheriff's Office, since Major Clark's Dodge coupe was found in that jurisdiction. It is also very likely that there...

The microfilm files or bound editions of the local news paper ( if such records exist) might have stories on football games or car accidents in October 1965. There might also be some detailed reporting on Dickie's disappearance. Today's on-line searching has turned up a lot of information on...

It would help in understanding the sequence of events to know some of these things. What might seem minor or unimportant could confirm or refute other information reported. There is almost too much information available concerning Dickie Friday evening, and then almost nothing from dawn...

Probably the most likely place to find the 1965 Mapleton High School football schedule is in the 1966 yearbook. Dickie played clarinet in the Mapleton HS Band. Was he playing in the band that Friday evening? I don't think a PTA " carnival" with only 1,000 folks attending is anything at all...

Bumping this thread up. It has been over 51 years since this fiend was captured and then shot while attempting to escape. There is a good chronology of his travels and crimes, but probably is not complete and he may have murdered other victims as well.

Some of these cases might be linked, but probably not all. Annette and Mylette Anderson were probably victims of serial killer Paul John Knowles. He confessed to abducting and killing them, but their bodies were never found. Knowles was on a cross country killing spree from July 1974...

Hopefully some answers will be provided.

This year marks 50 years since Sherry Elizabeth Roach went missing.
