Daniel Deppner was found dead in a wooded area, his body stuffed into a plastic garbage bag. An autopsy listed ligature strangulation as the apparent cause of death; examiners also noted a pinkish lividity around the shoulders and chest that raised the possibility carbon monoxide exposure contributed to his death. He was identified by personal items in his wallet, including motel receipts and family photographs.

His murder became one of the cases that drew investigators’ attention toward Kuklinski during a broader probe into multiple killings. Kuklinski was later charged in connection with several murders, including Deppner’s, and was tried and convicted.

Are there details about Deppner’s movements, acquaintances, or the motel receipts that could help clarify where and when he was last seen alive?
