INFANTICIED: Murder of George Rounsaville

On September 22, 1925, 18-year-old John Rounsaville murdered his stepson 6-month-old George Rounsaville in Summerville, Georgia. George as most babies do was crying. This annoyed John to the extreme as he had already hated the child because he was not his own. John would punch George in the head and then strangle the child until his neck broke killing him.

John was convicted and sentenced to be executed. On July 12, 1927, he was executed at 11:20 am and pronounced dead.

Unsolved Murder of Arthur "Buddy" Louis Schumacher

 

On July 24, 1925, around 9 a.m. 8-year-old Arthur "Buddy" Schumacher left his house in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. He had left with some neighborhood boys and was last seen by them after they hopped off a freight train they'd jumped on to get a ride to a nearby swimming hole. 

The boys said that a man on the train accosted and asked them where they were going. This scared the boys and they jumped out, but Buddy did not jump off with them. They then ran He jumped off on the otherside and the man also jumped off. They last saw Buddy at the train tracks with the man. 

A search would be done looking for Buddy. It was initially thought by police that maybe the freight had carried him far away or that he had accidentally drowned at the river where the boys planned to go. With there being no evidence of the boy showing up people began to suspect that he had been abducted. 

Buddy's body would be found 7 weeks later just a mile from his home. It was obvious that the young boy was murdered. His handkerchief was deep down his throat and he was missing some of his clothing. It's likely died the day he went missing and it's unknown what exactly his cause of death was.

There were many leads, but nothing panned out and Buddy's murder remains unsolved.
