After 47 years, a man who was found murdered off a highway has finally been identified as Douglas Streeter. He was just 29 years old.
In October 1976, Palm Beach County Sheriff officers recovered the skeletal remains of an unknown male in a western, rural region of Palm Beach County off of State Highway #827 near the Talisman Farm cane field. He'd been shot and killed but there were not many clues at the crime scene.
The department partnered with Othram to find some investigative leads and through a follow up investigation, it was found that the victim was Douglas Streeter of Bryan, Ohio.
He was born September 7th, 1946. He'd traveled to Florida with a group of friends from Ohio in March 1976 and was last seen in the Spanish Oaks Apartments in Boca Raton, Florida. He never returned home and nobody knew where he was. He was listed missing as of April 26, 1946. His nickname was "Strut" and he had ties to North Adams, Michigan. He attended Bryan High School in Ohio and was 'preceded' by a baby sister, Barbara Streeter. His parents and another brother, Ed Streeter, have since passed away. He is survived by a half sister, Linda Whitney, of Edgerton, Ohio, and a half brother, Steve Reader, of Bryan.
Here is another photo of him.
