Disappearance of Ronald Joe Cole



In early 1965 19 year old Ronald Joe Cole moved from San Diego to Filmore, California to live with his half brother David Lafever. He was trying to find a job. On May 1. 1965 it was the last time anyone had saw the boy.

His half brother David Lafever is a suspect in his disappearance. Him and his wife Margret were caught in 1983 for posing an 11 old girl as their daughter and charged with multiple counts of child pornography and child abuse. After Lafever's arrest it was found out that he had told many friends, and family members he had killed Ronald. This isn't the only murder he is suspected of.

In 1977 Margret's brother Jon Brian Skaggs disappeared in 1977, but in this case his body was later found. In July of 1984 Jon's body was found in a shallow grave in Galt, California near a former home of Lefever's. He had been shot to death. Lafever has not been charged for either case.

Ronald was and 19 year old white male in 1965. He was 6'1 and 140 lbs. He had brown hair in a crew cut and hazel eyes. He has a scar on his left cheek.

He has DNA available.
