It would take authorities nearly half a century to find the man who disappeared in the dark that night. Over the next 46 years, important new clues would be discovered. We were digging up the weeds when I found the gun. Promising new leads would be investigated. Could this be the diamond in the rough we were looking for? And thousands of suspects would be checked out. All dead ends.

She was right, for although time is usually the enemy of a murder investigation, this time, the passage of time, 46 years, would be necessary. It would be a different world from the 50s, in which this case could finally be solved. Two modern-day policemen, L.A. Sheriff's detectives Kevin Lowe... We were the lead investigators. ...and Dan McElderry... It was a fascinating case.
