Walter Platz

I found this article very interesting.  I was doing a web search of my name and this article came up.  I'm Walter Platz, born thirty years after the murder.  When I was in college in Kirkisville, Missouri.  I worked at a gas station for a man named Bob Barrackman.  The station was Barrackman's Service.  No one was ever murdered there though.  I never knew any Platzes migrated west of Missouri until I moved to Utah in 1980.  My Grandfather was also named Walter Platz, but not the one in Howard.  Thought you might find the coincidences interesting.

I did find it interesting.

Now if there were an Ingle or Shipman around there somewhere, it would have been right out of the Twilight Zone.
