Edwin and brothers Joel and William were last seen on the south side of Hannibal, Missouri between 4:20 and 5:00 pm on May 10, 1967. They were carrying shovels and a flashlight, and they said they were going to explore Murphy's Cave, near the Highway 79 construction project.
That day, the construction work resulted in a cave-in at Murphy's Cave. Because of the circumstances, authorities theorized the boys were trapped inside the cave when it collapsed. Extensive search and rescue efforts turned up no signs of the boys. Their case remains unsolved.
