On the evening of Saturday, September 29, 1984, 17-year-old Trinity High School students Scott Christopher Nelson and Richard David Stephenson left for a football game in Louisville, Kentucky, but became lost and stopped at a Moby Dick restaurant to ask for directions. Two men, 24-year-old Victor Dewayne Taylor and 23-year-old George Ellis Wade, offered help in exchange for a ride. Instead they were taken to a secluded lot behind an abandoned apartment building, robbed, stripped, bound with socks, neckties and towel strips, and shot in the head at point-blank range.

Investigators found evidence suggesting Nelson may have been sexually assaulted. The bodies were found the next morning, witnesses placed the abduction at the restaurant, and items belonging to the victims were recovered from Taylor’s mother’s home, including Nelson’s pants and both pairs of shoes. George Wade was convicted of two counts of murder, kidnapping and first-degree robbery and sentenced to life; Victor Taylor was convicted of murder, kidnapping, robbery and sodomy and sentenced to death.

Does anyone have memories of that night or information about the two teenagers’ last known movements?
