Labor Day weekend, 1973, 15 year old Terry Wayne Sutter heads into the woods with a six pack of beer under his arm. He won't be seen alive again. When his remains are discovered it's clear that he was brutally beaten and suffocated. Oddly law enforcement isn't interested in pursuing the case and almost 50 years later, no one was ever arrested, charged or named as a person of interest. His mother and many siblings still hope for justice in this bizarre and frustrating case.
His case is being handled by the Benzie County Sheriff - (231) 882-4484

In 1951, Toronto Maple Leaf player, 24-year-old Bill Barilko, scored the game-winning goal in overtime during the last game of the Stanley Cup Finals. He flung himself across the ice, tucking a quick backhand over the shoulder of the Montreal goalie, giving the Leafs their fourth Stanley Cup win in five years.
A few months later, Barilko disappeared, taking the Leafs winning streak with him. The Leafs would not win another cup until 1962, within weeks of Barilko’s return home.
His story is immortalized in the song, 50 Mission Cap, by The Tragically Hip.
