Just watched one of the strangest documentaries ever ....
The Speedway Murders on Hulu.
The crimes were horrible and bizarre and have never been solved. Because they occurred on the same weekend as the Jonestown Mass Suicides (November 17-19, 1978) they didn't receive much publicity.
4 teenagers, 2 boys and 2 girls who were working the night shift at a Burger Chef (fast food restaurant that was bought out by Hardee's in 1982) in Speedway, Indiana were kidnapped from within the restaurant, beaten, murdered and dumped in nearby woods on that Friday night. Their bodies were discovered on Sunday. The police botched the investigation and no leads were ever formed. There were no apparent motives. Nothing was stolen from the restaurant. None of the victims were sexually assaulted and the 2 boys both had their wallets with money inside of them.
The documentary does reenactments with actors playing the teenagers to offer theories as to what may have happened to them .... with the actors also shown trying to solve their own murders as ghosts.
If that sounds like it's goofy and in bad taste? Yeah ... pretty much.
