In 1958, sixteen-year-old William Leslie Arnold asked to
borrow the car to take a date to a drive-in movie. His parents said no. So, he
shot them both and buried them in the backyard. For two weeks, he told people
his folks were on vacation. But when police questioned him, William confessed
and led them to the bodies. He was given a life sentence, but eight years later,
he and his cellmate escaped prison. The cellmate was quickly recaptured, but
William vanished without a trace. Three months later, a man named John Vincent
Damon married a divorced mother of four. In 1978, he divorced her and moved to
Australia, where he remarried and had children of his own. “John” died at 69 in
2010. Then, in 2022, his son took a DNA test to learn more about his father’s
family. Just like that, a decades-long cold case was solved, bringing a whole
new meaning to Genesis 4:10.
