Randall Lee Harvey was 15 when he left his Heights home on March 9, 1971, to ride his bicycle to a Fina gas station in the Oak Forest area, about three miles away. He failed to return after his shift and was reported missing two days later; his bicycle was never recovered and there were no immediate leads.

Randall’s skeletal remains were found in August 1973 in a makeshift grave inside a boat storage shed in southwest Houston. He had been shot in the eye with a .22-caliber firearm and a nylon cord was tied around his neck. His death was later linked to the series of abductions and murders carried out by Dean Corll and teenage accomplices Elmer Wayne Henley and David Owen Brooks.

Identification took decades. Forensic work including DNA testing and skeletal analysis, plus personal items recognized by his sisters Donna Harvey Lovrek and Lenore Lovrek McNiel, led to confirmation of his identity in 2008. Does anyone have memories of Randall, the Heights, or the Oak Forest area from 1971 that could add context to his last day?
