The man drove about five miles on the road where he found the boy and took the next left side road that went to a series of farm homes. He went slowly for about ten minutes before he saw a likely clump of trees. The trees are of the scrub oak variety and they have been overgrown with all grass and weeds at their bases. The body has been decomposed for quite some time and the remains are difficult to see.
This is what happened to the body.
The missing portion mentioned is actually included on the front page of the newspaper in two columns just to the right of Dickie's colorized photo.Thanks so much, Pressureandheat, for sharing the article! There seems to be a bit missing between the first and second clippings, but still very interesting reading.
What this recent information shows is that Mrs. Huerkamp was a concerned parent who did check on Dickie several times before reporting him missing to the police chief. There could be any number of reasons for the perceived delay in reporting him missing.This is great! What stands out to me is that it completely reiterates that they really never investigated any type of foul play. They just weren’t looking at it from that angle. It also reiterates that the parents didn’t report him missing until Sunday mid morning. But they knew full well Saturday afternoon and night that Dickie never showed up at Chuck Healy’s home. Chuck told them Dickie wasn’t with him, that he never arrived. So why did they wait until Sunday to contact the cops and start a search?
