July 19, 1952 – The Crater Lake Murders

Detroit General Motors executives Charles Culhane and Al Jones went missing in Oregon’s Crater Lake National Park on July 19, 1952. Business associates planned to meet up with them at a nearby fishing spot, but the men never showed. Their bodies were discovered nearby two days later, about half a mile away from their car. Each man was gagged and fatally shot once. The pair’s valuables had been stolen. Investigators found no evidence at the scene. In the following years, police had a few leads, but no real suspects. The murders remain unsolved.
