On the morning of January 24 1987, nine-year-old Eric Coy hopped on his bike to make the one-mile journey to his cousin Eddrick’s house in the Northern Californian town of Martinez. The two boys were best friends and it was a trip Eric had made countless times before. Eager to get there as quick as he could, Eric took a shortcut.  ---  Episode narrated by the Anonymous Host Researched and written by Anna Priestland --- OFFICIAL SKETCHES Suspect's Sketches PHONE NUMBERS Martinez PD (+1) 925-372-3440 Anonymous tip line: (925) 372-3457 Contra Costa County Sherrif’s Dept.
