During the early 90’s while we were living in Franklin, my dad had this troubled teen living with us. I believe he said he met him through the church and was trying to help him out in life. I don’t remember much about him, but I think his name was Michael. Looking back, I think my dad was possibly sexually abusing this kid and taking advantage of him. Pastor Arthur also frequented our house and would interact with Michael a lot. I also speculate that my dad and Arthur had a sexual relationship and tried to keep it hidden. They could have even both been taking advantage of Michael. Eventually I never saw Michael again. I often wonder if he was another one of my dad’s many victims. Perhaps he was worried Michael would turn him in or report him, so he killed him and buried him somewhere in the woods. Since he was a troubled kid and no one was looking for him, his disappearance or murder would probably never be investigated. Does anyone that knew my family back in Franklin during the early 90s remember seeing this boy around our house? From what I remember, he had short hair and liked to dress in black clothes. Please comment here or email me at jonvick@gmail.com if you have any information. If something truly happened to him, I’d like to get it figured out so that Michael can have justice and rest in peace.

Thank you
