Richard Edward Hembree was a 13-year-old boy who died in Houston, Texas. He and his friend Wally Jay Simoneaux were last seen October 2, 1972, reportedly entering a white van outside a Heights grocery store while walking to Richard’s home. Richard was found dead the next day with asphyxia due to strangulation and a gunshot wound to the mouth. His body was discovered buried in a boat shed belonging to Dean Arnold Corll.

The text reports that Henley accidentally shot Richard in the mouth the following morning, the bullet exiting through his neck, and that both boys were strangled and buried together in Corll’s boat shed.

Anyone who knew Richard, Wally, their movements in early October 1972, or who has information about that area in Houston at the time is asked to come forward.
