The Unsolved Murder of Blake Tyler Chappell

Blake Tyler Chappell was a kind, promising and creative 17 year-old who went missing walking to a friend's house early in the morning on October 16, 2011 after a Homecoming dance. Two months later, he was found lying in a creek, dead from at least one single gunshot would to his head. He had been to a dance the night that he went missing and told his mother that it was one of the best nights of his life. After over a decade of no answers, we still don't know the identity of his killer.
