For years, some law enforcement agencies have replaced the faces of traditional playing card decks with images of missing and murdered people and distributed those cards in prisons hoping inmates would come forward with information needed to crack these cold cases wide open. Now, audiochuck is dealing you in. Each week, we will be working with investigators and family members to bring you the details of some of the coldest cases from around the country in hopes that someone listening can finally bring these victims the justice they deserve.

Our card this week is Jay Durnil, the 2 of Hearts from  Nebraska.

Jay Durnil, 11, was last seen on April 29th, 1976 biking to the Elkhorn River in his family’s neighborhood near Waterloo, Nebraska. Jay’s dog Tex returned home that night but Jay was never seen alive again. Jay’s case was handled as an accidental drowning until his body surfaced in a different river 21 days later, with clear signs that he’d been murdered. 

  • If you have any information about the 1976 murder of 11-year-old Jay Durnil near Waterloo, Nebraska, call the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and ask for Captain Eric Sellers. They are also interested in speaking with anyone who knew or came in contact with John Raven anytime in 1976 or after. The phone number for the office is 402-444-6000.
