BUNGO TOWNSHIP, Minn. — Connie Ritter never met her Uncle Hickle, but his life would significantly impact her own for generations to come.
Ritter grew up hearing the story of her mom’s little brother, Hickle Harley Ware, who disappeared 84 years ago.
On June 11, 1938, 4-year-old Hickle was out with his two older brothers near the family’s farm southwest of Pine River in Bungo Township in Cass County, Minnesota. His brothers went to round up some loose cattle, and when they returned a few minutes later, the boy had vanished without a trace.
The case remains unsolved to this day, a decades-old mystery still impacting those who didn’t even know the little boy.
