The Small Town Teenage Murders At A 'Burger Chef' UNSOLVED For Decades!

One of the most tragic and well-known true crime stories in Indiana's history — the 1978 Speedway Burger Chef murders — will be told on Discovery Plus and Investigation Discovery. The one-hour documentary is titled "Murders at the Burger Joint," and premieres Monday.

Four young people were working at a Burger Chef restaurant at 5725 Crawfordsville Road in Speedway on Nov. 17, 1978.Jayne Friedt, 20, was the assistant manager on duty, along with employees 17-year-old Ruth Shelton and Daniel Davis and Mark Flemmonds, both 16. The employees were closing the restaurant, and around midnight, one person opened the back door to take out the garbage.

It's unclear what happened next. Their bodies were found two days later near Center Grove High School in Johnson County. All four were still wearing their brown and orange Burger Chef uniforms. In addition, $581 was missing from the restaurant.
