Roger Madison Missing Person Case

Roger Dale Madison, a 15-year-old from Sylmar, California, went missing on December 16, 1968. After an argument with his father about smoking, Roger left his home on his motorcycle and never returned. Initially, it was believed that he might have run away. However, in 1970, serial killer Mack Ray Edwards confessed to his murder, along with several other children. Edwards, who lived near the Madison family, was known to Roger and had gained his trust. <br> <br>According to Edwards' confession, he lured Roger to an orange grove where he stabbed him to death and buried his body under the Route 23 Freeway, which was under construction at the time. Edwards, a heavy equipment operator, used a bulldozer to conceal the body at the construction site. Despite Edwards leading authorities to the location, Roger's remains were never found. <br> <br>Edwards, who had been convicted of other child murders, committed suicide in prison in 1971 before he could be tried for Roger's case or other victims he confessed to. In 2008, renewed efforts were made to locate Roger's remains under the freeway, but the search was called off without success. <br> <br>Roger's case remains unsolved, though authorities strongly believe Edwards was responsible for his death. Investigations into the possible burial sites of Edwards' other victims continue.
