https://dig.abclocal.go.com/kgo/PDF/DOWNTOWN%20SF%20SHOOT%20INTERVIEW%20REPORT%20WITH%20GUARD.pdf On the afternoon of December 5th, 1996, 15 year old Jack Morgan had a significant argument with his father at their home in San Diego, CA. After that, Jack vanished. When his younger brother arrived home later, Jack was gone and never to be seen again. Within a week or so the home Jack had once shared with his Marine father and his little brother had his belongings tossed out, any picture hanging on a wall or anywhere else in the home was taken down, most likely destroyed, and Jack's name was not to be said in the household. Jack's maternal aunt Dawna believes and has made allegations that Jack was gay and his father had killed him for it. Our True Crime is from San Francisco, CA. It's the shooting death of trans man Banko Brown. https://www.patreon.com/c/rainbowcrimes Promo for Castles and Cryptids Intro: Shire Girl by David Fesilyan Outro: Beating Heart by David Renda Resources https://www.thecoldcases.com/p/was-jack-morgan-killed-by-his-dad https://www.reddit.com/r/UnsolvedMysteries/comments/1s6bhck/jack_duane_morgan_the_boy_who_disappeared/…
