Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Offense:
Nelson was discovered in his bedroom after convincing his parents to let him stay home alone in their small town while they went to Wichita, KS - about an hour and a half to two hours away. The younger sister found Nelson in his bedroom, and he was kneeling like he would to pray on the bed, and his upper half (of his body) was laying on the bed. The other sister said she just remembers him looking very pale and blue. She then remembers her mom walking around the side of him and she grabbed his arm to feel for a pulse and said, ‘Oh, God, Dennis. He’s dead;’ and the stepdad ran up barefoot to get the police officers.
Additional Details:
There were several witnesses who saw him playing with people and biking around town. They were all interviewed. If you have any information about this case please contact the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-KS-CRIME
