In Part 2, we pick back up on what happens after John Rodney McRae is released from prison. In this episode, we leave off after discussing Kip Hess's disappearance and the early conviction of McRae in Joey Housey's murder. After his sentence is commuted, McRae relocates to Florida and other boys begin disappearing.
While these cases may appear solved on the surface, the boys have never been located and its believed that there are many more victims out there that have not been identified or tied to McRae.
Info? Michigan Author Christie Lypka is writing a book with the goal of bringing awareness to the other cases and trying to bring the Florida boys home. Please contact her directly at (734) 645-0973 with info.
