In late December of 1979 two long-time friends took off from Moline Illinois to run an errand, but the two men failed to make their last stop and vanished without a trace. About 4 months later they were found dead and the location of their bodies were right under police's noses for months. These are the murders of Gary Harker and Cody James.
