Bruce Howard Kremen was a child that went missing while camping in 1960.
Case[]
Bruce was on a camping trip in Angeles National Forest with about 80 other boys from the YMCA on July 12, 1960. He was last seen about 300 yards away from the campsite near the Buckhorn Flat, playing with two other children. Bruce was noticed as missing within minutes.
Authorities initially believed that Bruce had become lost or injured as the area he disappeared from was rugged, with many cliffs and chasms. However, an extensive search failed to find any sign of the young boy, and foul play is now suspected in his case.
Serial killer Mack Ray Edwards is a suspect in Bruce's disappearance. Edwards pleaded guilty to murdering three children and also confessed to the murders of Roger Madison, Don Baker, and Brenda Howell, however, he could not be charged in their cases as their bodies were never found. Additionally, Edwards is a suspect in the cases of Tommy Bowman, Karen Tompkins, Ramona Price, and Dorthy Gale Brown. He is believed to have buried some of his victims' remains under highways that he helped construct. Edwards died by suicide while on death row in 1971.
