Ever noticed how well acted and produced this is? It's got to be one of the best I've seen. After you've watched "Friend's 'till The End", on disc three of "Bizarre Murders", you're going to need a good one to follow, and this sure is one.

The actor they got to play Dave Bocks: Okay, he could have looked a little more like him. Still, he stands out real well from everyone else, because he's tall and of course he's got glasses.

Dave and his pal Harry walk into the locker room at one point during the segment, and if you look carefully, you noticed as the camera pans left to right, it passes a "RADIATION" sign on the end of a row of lockers. I thought that was a nice touch, because Unsolved Mysteries stressed earlier that "conditions in the plant were anything but fine", and you've got Dave right their, and he's the guy looking after safety.

Right away, it gets errie. Dave comes walking from the lower left hand corner of the screen and passes another worker. In the background, you got all that steam there that really makes you believe that your inside NLO.

"Hey Dave, you need any help?" the worker ask.

"No, just putting my tools away", Dave replies, and then starts walking towards the steam, the camera goes into slow motion. For some reason, I just find that so creepy, probably because Stack says "It was the last time Dave Bocks was seen alive". This little exchange was used in the preview when it was originally broadcast. (You know when, just before going to a commercial, to announce what comming up "Next on Unsolved Mysteries...")

Later on, there's the part with a concerned furnace operator and his supervisor. The furnace operator knows something's wrong. He tells his supervisor, "Been something strange in here. There's all kind of big firm crust all over the salt"

"Crust?"

"Yeah, I dipped a couple of hinges in and they got a slick thing all over them"

The supervisor is still nonchalant and says, "Ah, that's okay, just go ahead and keep working," but the furnace operator's concern keeps increasing. "Larry! Look man, I don't wan't to be one to start us a problem but there's something in there- it kinda looked liked a leg" The supervisor is just incredulous.

Watching segments like these reminds me how good Unsolved Mysteries is/was.

wonder how long his family had to wait to get his radioactive remains off the nlo grounds?
anybody know the name of his supervisors?
surely they can be considered prime suspects

I am not even sure that his remains have been removed from the grounds at this point. That toxic stuff can linger forever...

Dave Bock's remains were disposed of as nucleur waste, according to an employee that currently works at the site. The site is currently being cleaned up .. all of the buildings have been dismantled and the cleanup of the pits continues.

nobody knows who the names of the higher up people who bocks worked under at the time?

Really, where did you find this out, and how long ago did they dispose of the remains and tear down the bulidings? Any idea what they will put up in place of the plant?

I thought it was only a few bone fragments which were left that remained, atleast that's what I remember from the segment.

This I got from a guy named Jeff Wagner from the DOE/Fluor Fernald which is currently cleaning up the site .. they have an internet site http://www.fernald.gov .. it is currently under cleanup by the government. All the buildings are gone and they plan to turn it into a nature preserve area I believe. Jeff told me his remains were disposed of because they were far too toxic to bury. He said they have photos of the inside of the drum that held his remains there at the plant site. I went and visited the site last year (it's fairly close to Cincinatti), but there wasn't much left.
