Danny Dewey and his brothers grew up going from home to home after their mother died when Danny was 6. It was rough for them, but it was a life they became accustomed to. In May of 1979 on the same day his older brother graduated it was the same day they'd last see each other. The two had become homeless as the people they were living with were moving. So when he and brother exchanged goodbyes at a bus station in Dayton,Texas it was the last time they'd see each other.
On November 12, 1979 hunters found the body of the 17 year old in the St. Helen Parish Woods in Greensburg, Louisiana. He'd been hogtied with his hands and feet behind his back, and rope ran from his hands and feet to his neck. When he struggled it would tighten the rope and strangle him to death.
Danny had been left unidentified until 2008 when his fingerprints were put in the system and he was identified. His family believed he was alive and well with his own family. They'd never thought he would had been dead let alone had died just a few months after they last saw him.
There were two other cases in the area where young men with similar looks had been killed the same way Danny had been. Danny Turcotte (22) and Raymond Richardson (17). I couldn't find much information on the other two.
