Summary

On May 13, 1998, an unsettling discovery was made beneath a billboard in Mebane, NC – the lifeless body of a young boy. This tragic finding raised haunting questions: Who was this child? Had he been murdered elsewhere before being dumped in this desolate spot, perhaps weeks earlier? What added to the mystery was the heartbreaking reality that no one had reported a little boy missing, leaving his identity shrouded in darkness. With scant evidence on the scene and the body, the case went cold. Yet, amidst this despair, one determined investigator refused to give up. Driven by an unwavering commitment to justice, they continued to search for answers. And then, in an astonishing turn of events in December 2018, the truth finally came to light: the identity of the boy was uncovered. This is more than just a story of loss; it’s a testament to perseverance, the relentless pursuit of justice, and the hope that even in the darkest times, the truth can find a way to emerge. Join us as we delve into this gripping tale of mystery and resolution. Dig in with Margot, as she tells you the gripping mystery and resolution of the murders of Bobby Whitt and Myong Whitt. ——- Submit your Listener Story Here! ——- Thank you to today’s sponsor: June’s Journey!
