I also went to st hugh i was in the same clas as his older brother , more attention is needed for Eric ,he was the cutest, loveable little boy ,the whole family was great,and to think his murder is still unsolved ,there has to be someone who knows what happened there is a wbesite littlestangels.net that has the story ,but on the wabsite you really have to look for the story of eric shunk there is alot of unsolved child murders, some one has to know something!!!!!!!!!

Is this the boy that was murdered getting bread and his father was a police officer?

No he went to the store to get acopy book and his father was a police officer!!!!!!!!!this was 1983,Did you live in the neighborhood!!!!!!!!

I went to Stetson Jr High when that happened and I remember walking to school with a couple of my friends and seeing the cops barracading off the section by the railroad tracks. They found Eric in the snow bank behind the Candy Cane Factory on Rosehill Hill Street near the railroad tracks. It's really odd I came upon this blog, because I too was thinking about this topic and talking to some friends from my old neighborhood and this always seems to come up when we talk. It's a shame no one has found his killer or killers. It's really a sad and horrifying story to think that in the matter of minutes a life can brutally end like that.

My poit about this tread is to let everyone know that eric's murer has not been solved and someone has to know what happened !!!!! his family needes to know!!! there has to be someone from back in the day that remembers something to lead to his killer !!!!
