1979 - Gary, Indiana.

It was October of 1979, and 8-year-old Kenneth “Kenny” Conrick had been dreaming for weeks about what Halloween costume he would pick for his favorite holiday. But somewhere on his walk home from school, Kenny vanished without a trace. Kenny was supposed to meet his babysitter, but he never he showed up. 

The last known sighting of him was alongside his friend, walking down their familiar road. How could such a seemingly innocent walk turn into a nightmare? The community sprung into action, working together in a collective effort to bring Kenny home safely. 

A few weeks later, the search for Kenny came to a tragic end; the little boy’s body was found behind the Salvation Army where he and his friends would play. He had been mutilated and strangled.

Despite strong leads and multiple suspects, the investigation into Kenny's murder quickly stalled, leaving the case unsolved for decades. The search for answers raised various possibilities: was it a satanic cult? Someone known to Kenny? Or a predator waiting to strike?

Then, in 2007, police interviewed a man named David Bowen, who was 16 at the time. Could Kenny’s killer have been right there in front of them all along? This is the story of the murder of Kenny Conrick.
