Joshua Durocher was six months old when he was killed on April 18, 1983, in Clay County, Florida. He was a white infant and one of three people murdered that day: his father’s girlfriend, Grace Reed, and Reed’s five-year-old daughter, Candice. The victims were shot and buried in a remote area of Clay County; their remains were not found until 1990.

Michael Alan Durocher later confessed and led authorities to the graves with a map. He was indicted in early 1991 on three counts of first-degree murder, pleaded guilty at trial, and instructed his attorney not to present mitigating evidence during the penalty phase. The jury recommended the death penalty for each murder and the court imposed those sentences.

Does anyone have additional information about the victims’ lives or the Clay County community in 1983 that might shed light on what happened that spring?
