Obviously folks thought highly of him. If he was indeed accidentally shot by one of his would-be hunting buddies, someone has been carrying an awful weight around all these years. I wonder if they were to be interviewed now, whether there would be a confession.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is now investigating this as an open case, in conjunction with the Blue Earth County Sherrif's Office.
The possibility of a hunting accident will likely be considered, along with other theories regarding Dickie's disappearance.
Two of the three high school boys who planned to hunt with Dickie that morning in 1965 are still living in Minnesota. They are now in their 70's. Perhaps they can shed some light on this old case.
