Dewey was my uncle. Any tips would be greatly appreciated as this year marks the 50 year anniversary of his passing.
Hi Rachel,
Is the investigation still open? It would be wonderful to close Dewane’s case!

I’m so sorry I haven’t seen this until now. It is 99% closed because they believe Robert Glaeser was the man. But it has never been officially closed.
They are 95% sure they know who did it, but it is not closed. I’m working hard to get as much info as I can this year!
That’s awesome! I hope they make an arrest! If you need anything, I’ll help if I can!
Do you know my family? The Lamm’s? Can you email me? [email removed]
I will email you. It’s coming from thepublishedpen.com.

I’ve been reading various threads (I live in Golden Valley, and just went to Down in the Valley for the first time) don’t know how I got down the rabbit hole though. I’m really sorry you’ve had to miss out on your uncle your whole life. In another thread somewhere, people who were around back during that time said there were rumors it was Robert Glaesar. His old house isn’t far from mine and I had no idea about this history till said rabbit hole. Wondering if the rumors were started because it just fits neatly into the puzzle or if there is any more credible info connecting him.
The Down in the Valley store that is there now is not the same one it happened in. The original one was down below. they moved it up top afterwards. I think that they just assumed it was Robert because it was 3 weeks after my uncle was killed that he committed the murders and, like you said, it fits neatly. They asked the clerk if it was him when it happened and she couldn’t confirm. When they showed her his picture 30 years later, she supposedly “went white as a ghost and said yes that was him”.
Can I use the original post you made about Dewey for my fb page?
Please find the responsible person. Dewey wouldn’t have provoked anyone. He was my neighborhood friend and then when they moved to the shores of Buffalo Lake we had wonderful times in their barn. Talented, kind, and just a neat person. Normal people do bad things in this world but, maybe, after reading what all these people have to say, they can find in their heart to come forward and atone for their sin. 🙏
I agree! I am sad that I didn’t see your post until now. My dad is John. I love hearing stories about my uncle and their whole family. Thank you for saying wonderful things.
I have a FB page called Dewey Lamm’s Cold Case. See if you can find it
