The Newton County John Does, also dubbed Adam and Brad, or simply as Victims A and B or Victims 3 and 4, are two unidentified males who were discovered on October 18, 1983 in Lake Village, Newton County, Indiana by mushroom foragers.〔 Their nicknames were given by investigator Scott McCord, who took on the cases in 2009.〔 Both of these victims were murdered by Larry Eyler, who was a serial killer of young men in the 1980s. They had been bound, drugged, and stabbed more than twenty-four times; their remains were located in burials near an abandoned barn, lying face up.〔〔 Two other victims who were found at the scene have since been identified as Michael Bauer and John Bartlett.〔 A major reason why neither has been identified is because Eyler did not know who the two boys were, unlike the rest of those whom he killed. He was also known to dispose of any identification that he would find.〔 The two are possibly native to the Midwestern states of Indiana, Wisconsin or Illinois. However, it is possible that they could have been from anywhere in the United States, as Eyler confessed to killing some in Kentucky. Today, neither have been buried, as the investigation is still being conducted. Their dental records and DNA are currently being stored in national databases.〔 As Eyler murdered people who were usually gay, Adam's and Brad's reason for possibly being hitchhikers or male prostitutes could be due to them being disowned by their families, if, in fact, they were gay.〔 Besides these two, the Jasper County John Doe, also unidentified, is another victim of Eyler.〔 The two victims' faces were reconstructed several times, twice by sketching and once digitally, by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The facial reconstructions by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reportedly took approximately eighteen months to complete. =="Adam"== Victim A, or Adam, a black male, was around fifteen to eighteen, but may have been as old as twenty.〔〔 He had a distinct red and black belt, inscribed with the word "devil" multiple times.〔 The buckle itself had contained the word "jeans".〔 A pair of jeans and pajama bottoms were also found on his remains, along with a pair of boots. The boots were made in the Hush Puppies design and had metal buckles to fasten them visible on the sides.〔 He was between five feet eight inches to six feet two inches and is believed to have been a hitchhiker who was picked up by Larry Eyler in 1983.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.ctcoldcases.com/newyork.html )〕 Eyler, himself, described the boy to be between fifteen and twenty years old and confirmed the suspicion that he had been picked up near Terre Haute, Indiana after hitchhiking. This description is also supported from the fact that Eyler had targeted hitchhikers after he had relationship troubles with his partner.〔 Scott McCord believes that Adam was likely native to the area, around Chicago or St. Louis. He was also previously known as Victim 3, as he was one of four to be found at the burial site. McCord stated that he preferred to use names instead of numbers when he referred to the victims.〔〔 Like most of Larry Eyler's other victims, his pants had been pulled down to his ankles. In a confession letter released by Larry Eyler's defense attorney, it was described that after an argument with his boyfriend, Eyler drove toward Terre Haute, Indiana in the third week of July 1983. While traveling through the town, he met a hitchhiker who matched Adam's description. Further in the document, it was described that the young man was offered seventy-five dollars to allow Eyler to "perform a sexual act" with him. After drugging him with alcohol and an unspecified drug, the young man was taken to the barn where his body was later found. Subsequently, he was bound, blindfolded and was then eventually stabbed multiple times in his upper and lower midsection. The last words that his murderer said to him were, "Okay, make your peace with God, nigger." Eyler wrote that he buried Adam separately from the three other victims who were previously murdered. His rationale was due to his belief that it was "not proper" to bury an African-American with European-Americans.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Newton County John Does」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
