Missing

Reported missing: Johnny Cade, age 16, small build, boyish looks, long hair, large black eyes. Ponyboy Curtis, age 14, small build, long hair, grey-green eyes. They were last seen in the drive-in movie, seated, with Cherry Valence, Dallas Winston, and Marcia Watterson. These disappearances may be connected to the recent murder of Robert Sheldon. Both of the missing boys are 'greasers', and witnesses present at the murder say that this Johnny Cade fits the description of the murderer. All the witnesses are the 'Socs' who were jumping the murderers, however, and in their drunken state might have overlooked details. The disappearance and the murder could be purely coincidence.
