Who are these guys?
Public asked to help with identification
By P.A. Sévigny The Suburban Does anybody recognize one of these guys? Apart from Brian Kachur who is the boy on the left, one of the three on his right could know something about what happened previous to the time when Kachur was beaten to death in the park near the river where he was found the next morning.
