On November 17,1978 four young crew members of the Burger Chef Restaurant in Crawfordsville, Indiana were busy completing the closing procedures and getting the restaurant ready for the next day. But something terrible happened, the restaurant was robbed and the four crew members were kidnapped. Forty-eight hours later, the crew were found murdered twenty miles away from the crime scene. The killer or killers had never been caught. This is a case that is still unsolved today. What happened that night? Did the employees recognized the robbers? What were taken so far from the scene of the crime?
