About this episode

Boys on the Road ////// 674

Part 1 of 1

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

This week we cover the strange death and likely murder of a teenaged boy from a rural community in Indiana. 16 year old Jason Bolton was out with people who he thought were his friends. The group attended a local party. What happened at the party is up for debate. By the early morning hours of the next day Jason will be dead. Supposedly, Jason and another boy both intoxicated decided on their walk home to lay down in the middle of the road and they both fell asleep or passed out. According to the witness (the driver) Jason was run over to avoid running over the other boy. We will tell you the problems with this story, the investigation or lack thereof and why the facts of the narrative just don’t add up.
