My dad and the boy went to school together .My father knows the man's wife , the man was sent away as a boy to an institution and was let out at some point , he had a long marriage and has adult children and grandchidren with ties still in Bentonville. We were discussing how things have changed in our day and times and such. my father is a lifelong Bentonville native and he told me this story from his childhood plus many others . This story blew my mind .
