What “family” is left that is presumably still “seeking closure”?

There are some things in this world that I will never understand, and killing a little boy is one of them.

Pure evil. They murdered the children, and they never had to answer for their crime. So sad for those little ones...

Watched a show on Hulu last night called “Naming the Dead” - it deals with cold cases that are decades old. The one featured was from the early 80s, the killer was caught but some of hi victims were never identified - they were all hitchhikers.

Using genetic genealogy, the victim was finally identified as a 17-year old black male - the family was contacted and they said they’d filed a missing person report at the time and contacted the police, but the case went cold and no one was interested in looking for their lost loved one.

The family was very grateful for the remains to be returned, had a memorial service and buried what was left of the skeleton with his mother.

I wonder what the cause of death was for Vera Bryant.

I grew up in a more developed area just north of there. That area was almost “Deliverance” territory back then with the “Hillbilly Heaven” night club nearby on RT 1 that could have been the template for Porky’s. As teens, we stayed the heck away from Hillbilly Heaven. Must have happened at night because it would have been difficult for blacks to be in that area at all at that time, much less dumping kids’ bodies.

“We ask the public’s help in filling in the missing information,” Wright said. “Perhaps somebody witnessed something along that route that day, or maybe Vera or James confided in someone before they had died. Maybe another jurisdiction had recovered a 6-month-old baby’s remains, and didn’t have any way to tie it to this case.”

They ask for help from the public but provide no pictures of he murderous couple.

If anyone noticed this couple on their trip the would likely be in their late 60s to 90s now.

These people would not likely know the names of the people that brought themselves to be noticed probably by fighting (or getting beaten).

These kind of people get remembered by face not name.

Pictures would help.

Really the police give very little data on the couple, no info on where they lived or where they died.

We know when Vera died (1980) but not when Hedgepeth died.

Not much to go on.

In the animal kingdom, some males will kill the offspring of other males to ensure the genetic line.

I guess some people act like animals.

It’s too bad the parents are dead. They should be around to be punished for what they did. They were monsters.

This is why we rely on the God of Justice and Mercy.

He knows the truth and will deal accordingly, with each of us.
