I seem to remember an segment that featured the murder where this teenager was stuffed in a shed and it was set on fire? Anyone remember this, was this UM?

I remember something about a shed and a fire, but the victim was a child (and there might have been two children victims if I recall correctly), the case happened in the early to mid 70s and some big motorcycle dude was said to be involved. The kids were murdered and then locked in this shed as it was burned. Is this right? Are we talking about the same cases? I haven't seen the one with the kids and the shed in years.

I just watched this one a few days ago from one of my tapes. The boys name was Scott Johnson. I believe it happened in Bull Head City, Arizona and probably in the 1970's. The strange thing was a friend of Scott's was also killed in the fire and they didn't interview any of his family members (which I can understand not wanting to relive that) but they didn't even mention his name which I found odd. A young couple at the time remembered seeing two men leaving the shack with smoke coming from it. Of course they had no idea there were two little boys inside. They did tell their story to the police at the time but don't believe they were taken seriously because of the man's past scrapes with the law. The most plausible reason seems that the boys saw something they shouldn't have possibly something having to do with drugs.

It's possible that since the other boy was obviously a minor when the tragedy happened that his mother/father if they are still alive had some imput in whether or not their son was even mentioned in the segment. It's possible that they do not "side" with Scott's mothers' theory on what happened that day and therefore did not want to be party to a documentary based on speculation.
