Episode 65 Andreu Batten
By all accounts, 36-year-old Andreu Batten was a friendly, outgoing Father of 4. In his hometown of St Augustine, FL Andreu was known as a Gentle Giant. But on June 2, 2012, his life came to a violent and mysterious end.
Andreu had traveled to South Carolina with his father to their hunting cabin. Tired from a day of hard work, Andreu’s father went to bed. Andreu however couldn’t sleep and went out for a short walk. Three hours later, and ten miles away, a driver discovered a dead body in the middle of the road.
The body turned out to be Andreu’s. Despite head trauma, police could not find any sign of a traffic accident, or evidence of a hit and run, leading to the possibility that Andreu was dumped where his body was found. 12 years later, Andreu’s case remains unsolved, and many questions are unanswered, including; how did Andreu wind up dead 10 miles from where he was last seen? Andreu’s Mother, Betty discusses her son’s life and tragic death, and the frustration surrounding the case.
If you have information about Andreu’s Death, please call the South Carolina Highway Patrol at (803)896-9621 or call (888)CRIMESTOPPERS.
