There are a few trees on Ancestry but none have all this information for the whole story. So what Happened to Joseph Jr.? I looked for records for him after 1930 and I didn't find anything. Did he just leave never to be heard from again? or was he murdered and his body was never found?

It kinda amazes me that there were very few newspaper articles about him missing. 

I would like to see the police report if it still exists. That might shed some light on what happened.
