On sunday morning, august 12, 1984, 13-year-old eugene martin left his home at approximately 5 a.M. To deliver the des moines register newspaper in the des moines area. He wore blue jeans, a red shirt and a gray pullover. Eugene normally delivered the papers with his older stepbrother, but on this day went alone. The iowa state fair was in town, and eugene — who in his free time enjoyed football, fishing, skating, video games and tv — wanted to make some extra money. Witnesses said they saw martin talking to a clean-cut white male in his 30s sometime between 5 and 5:45 a.M. At southwest 12th street and highview drive. Some stated the two appeared to be engaged in a friendly “father-son” sort of conversation, and others recalled seeing the teen folding papers and talking to the man sometime between 5:45 and 6:05 a.M.Agency
