The Burger Chef Murders

It happened in November 1978 at the Speedway Burger Chef. A Friday
night. Four employees on duty disappear; 16-year-old Daniel Davis,
16-year-old Mark Flemmonds, 20-year-old Jayne Friedt and
17-year-old Ruth Shelton. Initially, police in Speedway didn’t have
much to go on. Since there was $500 taken from the cash register
some investigators thought the employees may have taken the money
and went out for the night. The four employees couldn’t be
found. Early in the investigation, York says a mistake was made.
The Burger Chef restaurant was cleaned up. Two days after the
employees disappeared the worst case scenario appeared. Twenty
miles south of Burger Chef a grisly discovery was made in a Johnson
County field. Two bodies found. Daniel Davis and Ruth Shelton had
been shot execution-style. Not far away was the body of Jayne
Friedt, murdered with a knife. And Mark Flemmonds had been beaten
with a chain. So, what happened?? Learn more about your ad choices.
