Summary

On November 17, 1978, four young workers vanished from a fast food restaurant in Speedway, Indiana. Two days later, their bodies were found in the woods of Johnson County. The Burger Chef murders remain unsolved to this day. We still don't know who killed employees Jayne Friedt, Ruth Shelton, Danny Davis, and Mark Flemmonds, or why.

In this episode of "You Never Can Forget," an investigative miniseries from the Murder Sheet, we'll be speaking about the case with a friend and fellow researcher. This episode will serve as a primer, where we'll go over all the major theories that we covered on "You Never Can Forget" last year.
