Case I worked on that led to hundreds of other similar cases down east coast… all near rail lines
10 year old Glen Davenport was reported missing to the police on February 3rd, 1968 in Jacksonville.
The following morning his body was found in the 3700 block of Mayflower St.; in the Murray Hill area.
The lot of land where Glen's body was found had been searched multiple times throughout the night he was missing; the last search was at 4:00 a.m. Glen's body was not there during any of the searches; not even the final search at 4:00 a.m.
For his body to not be there during any of the searches, but then to be found there just a few hours later can only mean that someone put Glen or his body there sometime after the last search of the area at 4:00 a.m.
Despite this; and many other suspicious things about Glen's death; his death was determined and ruled to be "accidental".
Within 4 hours of being found, Glen's body was sent to be embalmed. And this was done without the REQUIRED, SIGNED RELEASE from Glen's parents for his body to be embalmed before an autopsy could be done.
The assistant M.E. who performed the autopsy did that autopsy after Glen's body had already been embalmed. This assistant M.E. didn't even make any notes about the bruises around Glen's mouth; and didn't even ut an approximate time of death on the death certificate.
40 years after Glen's death; his family is still seeking and fighting for justice for him.
There is now a youtube video which gives some of the details; and also contains a plea to help Glen's family have a case opened for him.
Since my family no longer lives in Jax; we are asking the people of Jax to please view the video and then pass it on to others to watch.
It is our hope that there are still people in Jax who remember the news story about the little boy who was found "hanging" on Mayflower St. in 1968.
It is also our hope that there is someone in Jax who remembers something they heard or saw on the night Glen was missing (Feb. 3rd) or the morning his body was found (Feb. 4th); 1968.
