    I remember when I was 10 [2yrs after this] my brother getting in trouble for playing with grandpa's CB. Grandpa said to him "You don't want to be a Larry" I was so confused so I asked "Who is Larry?" I we were told the story. My brother never touched that CB again
    Thanks Jiles much appreciated

    Although not malicious like this, Me and my female cousin (Aged 14 and 15 respectively) did do something in the same realm, we got on the neighbor's CB pretending to be hot to trot teen girls while we flirted with truckers. You can imagine the attention we got, including a lot of offers to stop by, meet up or be picked up. Now I don't think we would have actually went some where, I don't think we were that dumb, but we were giving out more and more information on our location without really realizing it was being pulled out of us, that on hindsight could have got us "found". It was at this time a trucker came on the air and asked us to turn to a channel, and when we did, he laid into us like an angry step father. Telling us how dangerous what we were doing was, how he could tell we were young and getting dangerously close to trouble, and that if we did not get off the CB and stop doing what we were doing, that the police would trace us. (Perhaps not true, I don't know if that was possible or not) but it certainly did the trick. Later in life upon seeing the film JOY RIDE, I can't thank that trucker enough, as we could have gotten into some serious trouble if not dead had things continued the way it was going that day when we thought we were just "playing around".

    We all had access to someone’s CB radio in the seventies! People told tall tales all the time because it was so anonymous. We did manage to talk to some boys who said they were driving around our summer vacation beach community! We really thought they were in Canada! A year later I was introduced to a guy and we dated that summer. Turns out his friend was the one with the CB in his car! He was with him on most of the outings too, such a small world! This was in 1977 in Maine. I can’t believe how this came flooding back when I heard this story! Thanks for that! :)

    Fascinating case, excellent production and narration as always Jiles! What I don't understand about this case is if there really was a missing child, where was the missing persons report to go with them?? Perhaps things were totally different back in the 70s in terms of how one went about reporting missing children, and of course an Amber alert wasn't a thing back then but I feel like a few phone calls to various police departments could have cleared some of this mess up.

      If it was a kid who lived with just his father and they had no close family or anything then who is going to report them missing? Even today people go unreported for long periods sometimes, even indefinitely and are found before they're reported, because they live alone, in another part of the country and don't have close relatives or keep regular contact with others. And believe it or not, there's still a whole kind of constantly shifting job market, mostly basic labor, in which people are hired or fired or just stop showing up everyday and it's so common, no one pays attention. Basic construction, painting, etc- you can find a job on a crew with no experience or references and then keep it for years or move on. Thousands do it every day and there are always people to replace you.

And if a truck with the kind of radio antennas that were in use then landed on the roof, I highly doubt the kid and the antenna would have been unharmed.

But at the same time, I can't picture a little boy carrying on this story for days as a hoax - unless a big brother or someone got him to do it. That might make sense to me.

      Could have been a grown man impersonating a child. That was my best guess.

    Triangulate location on transmit levels. Keep moving towards stronger signal and you will get close. Call up the HAM community to do it

    If this was a hoax, then someone had a very sick, twisted mind and the kid, or adult pretending to be a kid, needs their ass kicked in a heinous manner. If it wasn't, then my heart goes out to the child. I believe it was a hoax, but there is always room for doubt. Stranger things have definitely happened. I've always been intrigued by this story, and I guess I'm always going to have to wonder. Lol

    Vigil isn't pronounced like a veg ell. It's a Spanish last name pronounced Vee Hill.

      I’ve been told, but I grew up with a friend who had that last name and pronounced it like I did, so that’s automatically where my mind went.

    personally, I think the first few transmissions were real but thanks to all the bored teenagers at that time, Larry's calls for help were drowned out by all the fakes... Larry's radio would have died and no one would have known

    We can only hope larry was a hoax, a gruesome thought otherwise. We can slso hope that any missing people would by this time be confirmed but they had strange ideas about multitudes of people wandering off without a trace back then

      There's no way a truck is going to roll over n end up somewhere it couldn't be found. It's going to be near a road or trail. Not only that but a CB antenna wouldn't broadcast very far being upside down, bent or broken. The signal goes up and spreads out. It basically looks similar to a ripple after dropping a stone into a pool of water...

    I certainly hope that it was a hoax. Given the inconsistencies with the boys story, the alternative would be horrific. Perhaps he just didn't know his last name. Perhaps David was another child, perhaps his real name, or the one given to him by his captor. Maybe even another personality. In any event I can't understand why they didn't do a vehicle registration search for a blue and white pickup. Even now they could search retroactively for any missing blue and white trucks. Basic old school police work.

    Sooo, over the days this father and son were missing, his significant other didn't call anyone to report them missing......even with the news. "My husband drives a red and white truck, and I have a son named Larry.....nnnaaahhh, can't be"
    Seems like a hoax. In that first transmission, maybe he'd asked David for help with the prank, and David got scared and left the room

  • @annehersey9895

    I think that it was a hoax because by now, if indeed the truck crashed on a road, it would have been found. I don't think there are any roads anywhere in the US that haven't seen at least one car in 40 years! But, I would think that once the hoaxer, if it was a kid, became an adult, they would own up to it if only to get their 15 minutes of fame in at least the New Mexico area. That's what surprises me the most I think.

    Overturned truck with a lead acid battery? Battery wouldn't have lasted 2 days..even a good battery wouldn't have lasted 2 days with a cb radio being used,,,I'm assuming there's a few on here who have gotten out of their car and left the radio on overnight ..dead battery by morning 😉
