The story

Bobby attended a Notre Dame de Sion, a private elemetary school at 3823 Locust Avenue in Kansas City, MO. At 11:00 A.M. a woman named Bonnie Heady came in and told the nun that she was Bobby's aunt and that her mother was suffering from a heart attack while shopping at the Country club Plaza. The nun released Bobby to Heady and they left the school Toedman Cab, and went to the Katz Drug store at 40th and Main in Kansas City MO, where they got into Bonnie's 1951 Plymouth station wagon, driven by her boyfriend Carl Hall. The three drove west to Kansas to a remote field where Carl Hall attempted to strangle Bobby with a short piece of rope. The rope was too short, Bobby was struggling and Carl struck him in the face/head several times. Carl aimed his gun at Bobby's head- missed once then fired a second time. The second shot killed Bobby. At 11:30 A.M. the nun called for Mrs. Greenlease
