In the early morning hours of n July 30 1977, Charles Boatwright was hanging out with his cousin Ronnie Lewis at the home of another cousin of theirs Loy Harriman in Wesley, Arkansas.&nbsp; According to police statements, the three cousins stayed up all night, and early in the morning, they decided to go fishing in an area called War Eagle.&nbsp; At around 5 AM they piled into Charles&rsquo; truck and started driving. But they needed some food, so en route, they decided to stop at the store to buy some hot dogs to roast during their fishing trip.&nbsp; The Frederick's Grocery and Service Station located at the intersection of Highway 68 and 23 in the northwest portion of Huntsville, Arkansas. In a small town, it&rsquo;s a popular destination to get early morning gas or late night snacks, and back in 1977,&nbsp; it was open 24 hours a day.&nbsp; As Charles, Loy and Ronnie pulled up to the store, two women pulled up right behind them.&nbsp;All five of them entered the store. At first, they didn't see anyone inside.&nbsp; But then, Loy said &ldquo;it looks like someone is hurt up there." At that point, Charles said that he walked up to the left side of the register and saw a man&rsquo;s feet sticking out.&nbsp; The man was 20-year-old University of Arkansas Student Rex Terrell, who worked the overnight shift at Frederick&rsquo;s. He was lying in a pool of blood and gasping for breath. It looked like he had been shot multiple times.&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the women tried to give him mouth to mouth resuscitation, but it was too late. He died there, on the floor of the gas station, in a pool of his own blood. Nothing from the store had been taken.&nbsp; The whole community wanted to know, who would want to shoot a likable, kind and hard-working young man with seemingly no enemies, and leave him there to die in a pool of his own blood?&nbsp; If you have a case you&rsquo;d like Catherine Townsend to look into, you can reach out to the Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145.&nbsp;See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
