James M Teta was 15 when he disappeared from Revere, Massachusetts, on August 23, 1973. He was last seen that afternoon near Boston’s Government Center after leaving the family’s new home on Suffolk Avenue to visit the city; the family had recently moved from Boston and James worked at a local restaurant.

Two days later, on August 25, 1973, his body was found in a wooded area off Route 119 in Rindge, New Hampshire, a little over an hour’s drive from Revere. An autopsy determined James had been sexually assaulted and strangled. The case remains an unsolved homicide.

Investigators have pursued leads over the years. Nathaniel Bar-Jonah has been mentioned as a possible person of interest, and a man named Pierce reportedly confessed to a crime with several details matching James’s abduction and murder, but no arrests have been made and the case remains open. If anyone knew James, saw him in Boston on August 23, 1973, or has information about his death, please come forward.
