http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/local/cr...s-94868149.html Nighthawk still missing after all these years By: Freeman Klopott Examiner Staff Writer May 26, 2010 He went by "Nighthawk" on the radio. He once talked a confessed killer into surrendering while on the air. He disappeared not long after leaving D.C.'s WHUR in the 1970s to form his own production company. Nighthawk's real name was Bobby Joe Horn. Police have said they received tips that Horn -- 41 when he disappeared in August 1977 -- was killed and his body parts scattered across North Carolina, where police found his burned out car. A business partner told the Washington Post in 1983 that he believed Horn had moved to the Netherlands, where he ran a business and sported a beard. Authorities opened a murder investigation into Horn's disappearance when the popular radio host and producer's car was found. They delved into receipts from a concert he produced on July 4, 1977, after Horn's partners in the venture clamored over missing gate receipts. Foul play had been considered a possibility as soon as Horn failed to pick up his 13-year-old son at National Airport on Aug. 31 1977. But police have never found a body and have never found any evidence that the Nighthawk was murdered. It's also possible he is on the run. In 1978, a federal grand jury in Baltimore returned an indictment charging Horn with failing to file his taxes in 1971, 1972, 1973 and 1974. The timing was awkward as police investigated his possible murder. But prosecutors had to get the charges filed before a statute of limitations ran out on the off chance that Horn resurfaced. fklopott@washingtonexaminer.com Read more at the Washington Examiner: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/local/cr...l#ixzz0pvlBElZl |
