Tragic Lost Boy Billie Bob Atkinson Recovered in Kansas River
Ten days after a boy named Billie Bob Atkinson disappeared from near Ohio Street in Lawrence, his body was found in the Kansas River about twelve miles from the city. John Williams, a farmhand, spotted a floating body and, with Frank Elt, recovered the child wrapped in a blanket. The boy had been playing in a boat when he fell in, and the river carried him downstream. Authorities and local residents traced the tragedy, noting the body floated near the riverbank before drifting further down the stream.
