Troy Ward was six years old on June 22, 1983, when he was waiting on a corner near his Salt Lake City home for his mother to return with birthday cake and ice cream. A man using the name Roger Downs approached and lured Troy to a nearby bungalow with the promise of playing a game. In the bungalow’s basement the boy was restrained, assaulted with a rubber mallet, sexually abused and drowned in a bathtub.

Investigators later identified Roger Downs as Arthur Gary Bishop. Bishop was questioned in July 1983 and confessed to abducting and killing Troy and four other boys. He led police to the victims’ burial sites. At trial in February 1984 he was convicted on five counts of first-degree murder and five counts of aggravated kidnapping and received a death sentence.

Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood or the bungalow where Troy was taken that could help preserve details about this case?
