This business...complicit in Drake Bigler's death last summer
SHAME ON YOU! |
Confessed murderer Dana A. Schoen of rural Starbuck was seen drinking at this business in Starbuck - Water's Edge - last July 2012 on the night he killed 5-month old Drake Bigler of Marshall. No evidence has been brought forward that anyone at this business that night (employees or guests) tried to stop Schoen from getting in his truck and driving south on Highway 29 minutes before he killed that innocent baby boy.
