Ronald Cole was last seen in Fillmore, California on May 1, 1965. He had moved from
San Diego, California to stay with his half-brother, David LaFever, in Fillmore earlier that year.
David and his wife, Margaret, were arrested in Arizona in 1983. They were charged with multiple counts of child abuse and child pornography, in connection with an 11-year-old girl. After the arrest, investigators discovered David had told friends and family members he murdered Ronald Cole.
Margaret's 20-year-old brother, Jon Brian Skaggs, disappeared in 1977. His body was found in a shallow grave near the LaFevers' former home in Galt, California in July 1984. He had been shot to death. Investigators named David as the prime suspect in Skaggs's murder, along with Ronald's disappearance, but neither of the LaFevers were ever charged in connection with either case.
