I don’t think anyone will speak up. Many of the partygoers are probably parents by now and won’t risk their family’s stability. If someone does crack, I don’t think it will be for at least another 12-15years. JMO.

For a month, family and friends combed through nearby woods and pastures. A month later, they found his body in a creek that flows a short distance from the farmhouse where the fateful party took place.
"Just really emotional. Traumatic, you know," Brooks's father, Billy Brooks Sr., told KMBC in the days following his son's disappearance.
FBI exhumes body of Alonzo Brooks, whose case was featured in Netflix's 'Unsolved Mysteries'
''Since that heartbreak, nobody has faced criminal charges in Alonzo Brooks’s death.
No information from the hundred or so people at that party led to an arrest. Even his autopsy couldn't pinpoint a cause of death.
That changed three years ago when the US Attorney in Kansas, prompted by questions from producers of a documentary film, asked the FBI to take another look at his case. As a result, his body was exhumed for another autopsy.
A few months later, his death was finally ruled a homicide.
"It's kind of, like, a relief. Like, finally, like, you hear us." Leslie said.
The family finally knows there's progress toward finding answers and justice for the forever young Alonzo Brooks.
The FBI is now investigating his murder. They say they’re now trying to determine if it was racially motivated.
There is a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case.

There are some theories on what may have happened based on hear say.
Some one who was at the party said that Alonzo was seen with flirting with some girl at the party. Lacygne KS is a sundown town. Some of the locals got into an argument with Alonzo. This is what most people saw. The brawl was taken outside the house and the few people at the party claim that they did not see what happened after that.
So there is a specific name that pops up "Pat B*" who many people claim was behind the attack on Alonzo. The guy owns a restaurant nearby with a large freezer big enough to fit a body and that's consistent with the fact that Alonzo's body was discovered in a state of almost no decomposition. The case is now being handled by the FBI and a precious 18 years have already been lost. Who ever it is that knows anything needs to come forward.

FBI launching hate crime awareness campaign, shining new attention on cold case murder of Alonzo Brooks
Brooks's body was found nearly a month after he went missing from a party in rural Ly Cygne, Kansas, in 2004.
www.kmbc.com
“A new FBI campaign is hoping to draw more attention to hate crimes and the reporting of such incidents to law enforcement. At the center of the campaign is a Kansas City-area cold case from 2004.”
