Happy Birthday, David!

To honor you, I will continue to share your story with anyone who will listen.

You are with us always, dear one, now and forevermore.

This is the email I received recently from the crime lab. THIS is why I’m seeking answers. Where did the evidence go? Why was it only tested shortly after David’s murder?

01/10/2021

Respectfully and honestly asked some questions in the Kansas City Police Historical Society group attempting to get clarification about what could have happened to the evidence in David’s case. Was met with anger, a “tread lightly” and getting blocked from the group.

While in Kansas City, I visited the place where David died. It's surprisingly serene. I took some comfort in knowing that the last place he saw was beautiful, despite the fear he must have felt.

At or around 11:00pm, David called his mom for a ride home. This was unusual for David. He always walked home and occasionally hitchhiked.

This call could have been made from his girlfriend’s house or Shakey’s Pizza on Blue Ridge Blvd.

At this time, 47 years ago, David was going to his girlfriend’s house to hang out with her and one of their friends.

Tomorrow is the day!

Join us at 10:00am, Minor Park, to honor David and remember him on the 47th anniversary of his death.

I was angry with KCPD earlier so I decided to record. Clovercrest Media Group came in clutch with quick editing!

***All the links should be fixed now!***

Get ready for episode 5!

I just called to request a meeting with the KCPD homicide Sargent.

Not only did he say he wouldn’t meet with me (only Susan), he said that we “are nowhere near having a meeting”.

He had never heard of David’s case. I told him it has been 47 years and in my opionion, it’s DEFINITELY time to have a meeting.

You’ll learn in episode 5 (coming soon!) the extent to which police dropped the ball in David’s case. It seems KCPD isn’t interested in making up for that now.

Remember when I said there is another part of Harry Funston's story?

In episode 3, "The Boys" (RELEASING TODAY!), police speak with several teenage boys who detail their interactions and relationships with Funston.

Could these statements shed light on a possible motive for David's murder?

28/06/2021

Because David’s murder is still unsolved, I’d like this page to be a place for open discussion of theories and thoughts you might have.

Now that you’ve gotten details of the crime itself and part of the story of the main suspect, what are your thoughts?

I’m also open to all feedback about the podcast itself, questions you may have or anything that has confused you so far.
