Does anyone remember a young boy killed by three young boys ( about age 16 or 17) in 1963 or 1964? I cant remember a lot about it. Does any have any info about it. I think one of the killers first name was David & one was John I think.

The murdered kid's name was Gibbs. One of the killers was David Waters, the same guy who murdered Madeline Murray O'Hare, the Atheist.

No, I just remember it happened when I was a kid. I think it happened in Spring Bay or they were from Spring Bay. I think one of the other names was something like Pettigrew or something like that. That's all I remember.

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Gemini

A little give and take goes a long way, so try to be flexible and malleable when dealing with others. It will also pay to ask people what they think rather than to make sweeping assumptions on their behalf, because you could be in for a surprise. A child may have some interesting information for you, or they could make a statement that really sets you thinking.
