August 01, 2024 · 55 min

David Clemishaw, 28 and Donna McCracken 22, of Ashville, NC were hard working, fun loving dreamers who were in love with each other and their lives. What happened on the way to the "Unto These Hills" Festival over the Fourth of July weekend in 1978? After Donna's mother reported her and David missing their bodies were found in a drainage ditch on July 11th in Greenville, SC. David's car was found abandoned, stuck in sand next to a creek with the windows open and a lot of rain had come through. It was vandalized and the battery had been removed. There are some intriguing clues left behind, like the type of ligatures used to bind them as well as blindfold and gag them. A unique type of shirt was torn and used for these purposes. Someone or someones DEFINITELY knows something and even all of these years later there has to be someone remaining who has said something or wants/needs to say something. Even with the challenge of time investigators are still looking for answers and hope to educate the community and keep the word out there on this case.
