Missing person

David G Morrison

Morrison's rock 'n' roll lifestyle ended abruptly in the early morning hours of Dec. 1, 1979, when he disappeared, leaving behind only blood and a few strands of hair. Munster police were called to the store just west of Calumet Avenue in the 700 block of Seberger Lane at 4:45 a.m. that Saturday on a tip that four men were sitting in a white car outside. The car was gone when police arrived, but the door and the cash register were open, though nothing else seemed disturbed. A teenage store employee was called to lock up, and he pointed out a red smear on the door's frame that looked like blood, and a set of keys on Morrison's desk that also appeared to have blood on them. The employee called a friend of Morrison who had been at a party at his house on Hammond's south side the night before. The friend agreed to check on Morrison. Hammond police found the home in the 7100 block of Meadow Lane ransacked, with blood stains on the main floor and in the basement, and a snow shovel caked with blood and hair. Morrison's white Pontiac Grand Am, with its vanity STEREO license plate, also was missing. The car was found three days later in South Holland, Ill., with blood smeared on the outside
