Unsolved Murder of Edward "Mitt" Croley

Black and White photo of Edward "Mitt" Croley





On March 24, 1991, 14-year-old Edward "Mitt" Croley was left his aunt's house to go to class at Maywood School- a BOCES special education center in Colonie. He was last seen at the intersection of Northern Boulevard and Livingston Ave in Albany, New York. At the time he was living on Orange Street but had spent the night before with aunts.

His skeletal remains were later discovered on Jan. 8, 1992 in a wooded area on private property east of Route 144 and about three miles south of Thruway Exit in Selkirk. His skull showed he suffered from blunt force trauma on the right side. It's likely he died from a fatal beating and may have been drug-related.

His friends admitted that he was selling some weed at the time. It's possible someone wanted to rob him for his drugs/money and it resulted in them killing him.
