What happens when a devoted cookie salesman vanishes without a trace? On August 5, 1974, Steve Gaddy left his home in Jacksonville, Alabama, for what was supposed to be an ordinary workday, only to never return. In this gripping episode of "Murder in Your Backyard," we recount the harrowing events that led to the discovery of Steve’s abandoned delivery truck and the tireless search that ensued. The investigation took a dark turn when his body was found with a fatal gunshot wound, leaving his family and the community in shock and desperate for answers.

Join us as we revisit the relentless efforts of law enforcement, family, and volunteers who were determined to find out what happened to Steve. We'll delve into the chilling details of his last known movements, the subsequent arrest and release of a suspect, and the frustrating lack of leads that have kept this case open for decades. With reward money growing and memories fading, we reflect on the enduring mystery and urge anyone with information to come forward, keeping the hope for justice for Steve Leonard Gaddy alive.
