Roy Eugene Ikie Bunton was a 19-year-old African American who disappeared on August 21, 1972 while hitchhiking to his job at a shoe store in Houston, Texas. His body was recovered on August 8, 1973 in a mass grave found in Dean Corll’s boat shed.

Bunton was later identified as one of at least 28 victims of Dean Corll’s killing spree in the early 1970s. Corll, together with teenage accomplices Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. and David Brooks, kidnapped, tortured, and murdered young men and boys. The spree ended when Henley killed Corll in August 1973; Henley and Brooks were eventually convicted and remain in prison. Bunton’s identification by DNA and circumstantial evidence in 2011 brought some closure to his family.

Are there any friends, coworkers, or neighbors from Houston in 1972 who remember Roy Bunton or his movements that day?
