Roadside Store Mystery

At the end of World War II as the Allies were taking over Berlin, a twelve-year-old boy went missing in Edna Hill in the southern United States. He was the son of the owner of a roadside store frequented by passing motorists. According to the shopkeeper and local residents, the boy was abducted by a strange man who stayed at a nearby motel for two days. He inquired about kindergartens in the area and hunting stores, among other things. The man was never later found, nor was the missing boy or body.
