Alabama: The Brasher-Dye disappearance
The Dye brothers, Billy Howard and Robert, disappeared in 1956 along with their cousin, Dan Brasher. They were last seen leaving a relative’s house in rural Jefferson County in a green 1947 Ford. Unfortunately, no one noticed they were missing because they were known to be heavy drinkers—favoring moonshine—and often disappeared for days while sleeping off a binge. When a missing person’s report was filed, investigators’ questions were met with silence or tall tales—for example, of a bulldozer burying a car under a highway. The case remains unsolved.
