Update on this story, they ended up recovering two bodies. Haunting similarity to what happened with
Emmet TillJames Chaney, Andrew Goodman,and Michael Schwerner , when the FBI dredged the Mississippi for their bodies they found a number of lynching victims they weren’t even looking for.e; I misremembered which hate crime the FBI was investigating when this happened, the Wikipedia article I linked under the correct names also notes
That reminds me of the serial killer Dean Corll, the candy man. He killed at least 17 young men and buried them beneath a boat storage shed. The police ignored the case for a long time because the young men were minorities and/or gay. When they finally started digging up the bodies and hit 17, setting a new Texas record for a serial killer, the police stopped digging up bodies, most likely because of the embarrassment and outrage of them essentially ignoring this serial killer for so long.
Ugh, I believe it, something really similar happened with Jeffery Dahmer. It’s terrifying and infuriating how marginalized people can die so quietly and their deaths get forgotten so easily.
