My 10 year old brother, Glen Davenport was found murdered in Jacksonville in 1968.
On Feb. 3rd, 1968 Glen was reported as missing to the police. His body was found the next morning in the 3700 block of Mayflower St; in the Murray Hill area of Jax.
There had been a search of the lot on Mayflower St. several times throughout the night Glen was missing; the last search being at 4:00 a.m. Glen was not there during any of the searches; not even the last search at 4:00 a.m.
For his body to be found there just a few short hours later can only mean that someone put Glen or his body there sometime after the last search of the area at 4:00 a.m.
Despite the many suspicous things about Glen's disappearance and death; his death was determined and ruled to be "accidental" by the detectives and investigators and even the assistant M.E. who performed the autopsy on Glen's body.
An autopsy that was performed AFTER Glen's body has already been embalmed. Within 4 hours of being found, Glen's body was hurredly sent to be embalmed. And this was done without the REQUIRED, SIGNED release from Glen's parents for his body to be embalmed before an autopsy could be done.
40 years later, we are still seeking and fighting for justice for Glen Davenport.
There is now a youtube video that we would like people in Jacksonville to view; and then pass along for others to view. We are asking for help in getting this video circulating around Jax; and particulary in the Murray Hill area. My family no longer lives in Jax; and we are asking for the people of Jax to help us in getting this video viewed in Jax.
It is our hope that there are still people in Jax who can remember the news story about the little boy who was found "hanging" on Mayflower St. in 1968 in Jacksonville. We are hoping that there is still someone who can recall something they might have seen or heard on the night Glen was missing (Feb. 3rd) or the morning his body was found (Feb. 4th); 1968.
It is our hope and prayer that there is someone who can give new information about Glen's death.
The easiest way to find the youtube video is to go to: http://www.youtube.com/
And then put in the search words: Justice for Glen Davenport
Thank you from Glen's family
