Description

On the afternoon of July 27th, 1981, a 6-year-old boy was left at a video game kiosk inside a Sears in Hollywood, Florida, while his mother stepped away for ten minutes. He walked out a side door with a group of older kids and never came back. His severed head was found in a drainage canal 130 miles away two weeks later. A man with a violent history confessed thirteen times and recanted thirteen times. The bloodstained carpet from his car disappeared from police custody. The machete disappeared. The car was sold for scrap. By the time DNA testing existed, every piece of physical evidence was gone. The case stayed open for 27 years. No one was ever charged.
