13 year old Carl Galbraith was living with his mother in Chicago, Illinois. His mother though had sent him and his sister to go live with their Aunt in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. On December 16, 1977 Carl withdrew $10 for Christmas presents. He was then last seen hitchhiking along Route 173 in Richmond, Illinois. He was trying to get to a friends house . It was the last time anyone saw the boy alive.
Shortly before noon the next day Carl's body was found. He was stabbed multiple times and had his throat slashed, and was then left in a water filled ditch in New Munster, Wisconsin. The ditch was at he end of a residential driveway along Highway 50, now Geneva Road.
A month later a call came in. The man on the other end described Carl's coat, and told them where to find it in English Prairie Cemetery. It is believed that this person was the perpetrator of the murder or had inside knowledge about it.
