Roadside Crosses in Harvey County, Kansas
MURDER
Some murder victims from Harvey and Sedgwick counties faced their final moments along our road sides, or their bodies were later placed there. Beyond the tragedy of the situation itself comes the disrespect for the victim’s body when it is left behind along the road. In each case, these victims were found and their remains received a proper burial.
This page is dedicated to the memory of those whose lives were effected by these violent endings in Harvey County.
