Kenneth Ray Parker was a 16-year-old white male from Chicago who was last seen on October 24, 1976, with his close friend, 14-year-old Michael Marino, near a restaurant at Clark Street and Diversey Parkway. Both boys were reported missing the next day. In December 1978 investigators recovered multiple bodies buried beneath a house in Norwood Park Township; two bodies had been interred together in a single grave and were later identified in March 1980 by dental records and X-rays as Kenneth Parker and Michael Marino.

Parker was designated Body 15, showed evidence of a prior arm fracture, and had been strangled and buried in the crawl space beneath the house. The identification confirmed Parker’s death and provided the family with confirmation of his fate.

Did anyone who knew Kenneth or Michael ever notice them spending time near Clark and Diversey in late October 1976?
