The same exact thing happened to my great grandfather's oldest brother in Indianapolis in 1922. He was found in an alley, his coat all ripped and with a bullet hole in the back of his head. They called it suicide. If I can accomplish one thing in my life I'd like to prove Johnny was murdered and did not commit suicide as the policeman (who was a friend of the man who "discovered" Johnny's body) declared. Thank you and good luck! Lena
