The Hannibal boys WS thread for those interested.Long shot but could these boys and their disappearance be connected to the 3 missing boys from Hannibal, MO? Johnny and James disappeared in '64 and the 3 Hannibal boys disappeared in '67. Fairfax is about a 9 hour drive (present day) to Hannibal down US 36. I just wonder if this could be connected.
A link about Debbie Dappen's death which includes information about the missing boys from Fairfax.I live a few houses down from the old McKee home and I came across this page searching for the history of my neighborhood. This map that I found on a History of Fairfax blog is great, and shows many key locations relating to the case. The McKee home was about three houses south of Oriole Court between Oriole and Frisch’s, so practically behind Fairfax School (now Mariemont Junior High). You can walk between people’s yards on Oriole Court to get directly from the school baseball field to the McKee house in about two minutes. Meadowlark dead ends at another park (where the schools and neighborhood leagues play sports) and there’s direct access to a creek (Little Duck Creek) just feet from the end of Meadowlark. This is the same creek where Debbie Dappen’s shoe was found (Debbie Dappen has been referred to as 'the murdered toddler' in this thread). She lived one block from the Hundley’s, and was found about another block northeast at Watterson and Elder.View attachment 369114
I don't think disappearance can be linked to the disappearance of the three boys in Hannibal, which was three years later.
Those three kids had been exploring newly exposed caves that had been uncovered due to the construction of a new Highway. The company had been dynamiting the area. The whole cave system would have been completely unstable. They were seen at a cave entrance shortly before going missing. It is likely that they got trapped by a cave in.
I don't think there was any foul play in the Hannibal case, I think there may have been in this case.
