Donald Wayne Waldrop was a 15-year-old white male who disappeared with his younger brother, Jerry Lynn Waldrop, while they were on their way to a bowling alley. They went missing on January 30, 1971, in Houston, Texas. Their skeletal remains were recovered on August 9, 1973, among 17 other bodies found in a boat shed owned by Dean Corll.

The deaths were determined to be homicides; Donald’s cause of death was asphyxia due to strangulation. Dean Corll, together with teenage accomplices Elmer Wayne Henley and David Brooks, carried out a series of murders of boys and teenagers, luring victims with promises of money or gifts and subjecting them to torture and murder. The case came to light after Henley killed Corll and led police to the burial site. Henley and Brooks were arrested and later received life sentences.

Does anyone have information about Donald, Jerry, or their last known movements on January 30, 1971?
