Murder of John Caylor

On the night of October 10, 2003, John Caylor went to a party at a home on Waltonian Road in Harmony, New York. It seemed like a normal party and no one openly noted anything weird about it. John's brother was supposed to come pick him up from the party and would call him a few times in the early morning hours. However, his brother was asleep at the time and missed the call. 

Later that morning at the residence where the party was John's body would be found in the front yard. It was found that he had been beaten with a blunt object, and strangled. 

According to a news article, John did argue with someone at the party. There was a lot of drinking going on and no one said what the fight was about if it was about anything. The person of interest was never publically identified, but they did make statements that made him suspicious. The suspect died several years later making the case probably never going to be officially solved.
