NY NY - Michael Kelly, 12, Queens, 14 Feb 1959

[madamx]

Michael Kelly was my brother’s friend. He was abducted by a man in a white car. He lived around the corner from the candy store where he had a part time job. This was in Astoria. Whomever took him, murdered him and dumped his body in the College Point area. There was most likely sexual assault and it probably couldn’t be determined because of decomposition. It’s speculated that he knew his abductor and that’s why he got in the car. It was snowing and may have been offered a ride not knowing that this person was a deviant. There was a suspect who lived close by and owned a white car. For some strange reason that wasn’t pursued.

Oh how heartbreaking that there was a suspect that lived close by with a white car, but it was never pursued. I wonder what happened there.
