On July 21, 1975, 18-year-old Paul Gregory Egan disappeared in the early morning after working a shift at the Florida Processing Company in the 6900 block of Northwest 69th St. in Plantation, Florida.
Egan's best friend and coworker Norman Paul Ruebottom who went by Paul said he left with Egan. It's believed Egan did get home on Cypress St. His jeep was in the garage and his wallet and keys were on the dresser. Egan's brother didn't hear anything that night.
Paul had taken Egan's Jeep and searched for him several hours and when that failed he reported to the police of his disappearance. Police weren't able to prove this because Paul supposedly found them.
Police looked into the possibility that he fell or was pushed into a rendering machine that would grind up horses for soap, fertilizer and cat food. No evidence of human tissue was found however it may have been destroyed due to the way the machines were.
Foul play is suspected in this case.
In August of 1977, Paul died in a bizarre accident while inhaling cyclopropane in his home.

ReplyDeleteI'd be grateful for deails of Ruebottom's death. You cite one possibility above. To my knowledge, Ruebottom's death is still unproven.
