#233 - In October 1981, three young boys in Newburgh Heights, Ohio, made a frightening discovery in a ravine: a dead body. Other than some scratches and bruises, the body showed no obvious sign of injury. One tennis shoe was found in a nearby pile of rocks. The other shoe was missing. It was the body of 12-year-old Kurt Sova. An autopsy revealed that Kurt had died about a day before he was found, but his parents reported him missing five days before that. Where was Kurt during the five days he was missing? How did he die, and where was he killed?
