Danny Glenn Stowe - Murdered at The Purple Onion - Fox 5 Georgia's Most Wanted 1-888-0ld-Tips

After many years of requesting, and being denied access to my Father's homicide file - I now have it! Thanks to the staff at the State Attorney Generals office in Atlanta. They made it happen. After thoroughly reviewing the file - I discovered that the City of Atlanta investigators had information on where the man responsible for Danny's death was - and did not take the time to pursue it. The man had escaped from jail December 1981. Danny was killed February 1982 and was in Mobile County Alabama March 5, 1982. An investigator from the State of Alabama called Atlanta and told them they had the "trigger man" from the Purple Onion killing in Atlanta, they faxed a photo of the man, the Atlanta investigator made a notation in the file "photo shown to witnesses and met with negative results". I have strong doubts the photo was shown to anyone.

I will never stop investigating this one my own - until the person responsible for Danny's death admits what he did. This person was recaptured a few months later and is now serving a life sentence in the Valdosta State prison. In 1981 he escaped from the Spalding County jail while incarcerated for armed robbery and kidnapping of a grocery store manager in Griffin.

The man's name is Harold J. Laster. For more information on him and his criminal history go to www.dcor.state.ga.us click on inmate information in the left hand column, then click inmate query. Search by his name.

I am working on several leads and will post more information about the results as they happen.
