Don Cambray

On November 5, 1998 at McDonalds on NewFalls Road, MY only brother Don Cambray went to pick up his step-son Jimmy who was working there. What we didn't know was that the place was being robbed by a very tall man wearing a Freddie Kruger Mask and a gun. He locked everyone in the freezer after making the manager open the safe to get all the money. It is not known if he killed my brother before or after he robbed them.

It is thought maybe afterwards he took his mask off after everyone was in the freezer, he then left by the side door where my brother was sitting in his station wagon with the lights shining on the door so the kids could see when they came out. But what he saw was my brother. So he shot him point blank twice in the face. He never had a chance.

Please help my family and the organization find this person. I can not tell you the hell we have lived through for the past ten years. I can only pray that killer is caught so that he can never hurt anyone else's family. So if you have any information please email us at hotline@unsolvedmurders.com.

Sincerely,
Dot Cambray - Sister

A Mother's Plea:
Find my son's Killer

This is what his mother wrote: For my son, Donald J. Cambray Jr. From his Mom. I love you, too. So many words have been said about Donald Joseph Cambray Jr. None by me, his mother. Now I can think a little clearer of the needless tradgey that took the life of my only son. We were just beginning to accept the death of my husband, who passed away with cancer.

But this, my daughters and I will never get over. This will scar our minds till the end of our time. This has put fear in the hearts of his wife and children and, of course, confusion in the minds of the two smaller ones. The littlest one, Laura, climber into my lap and asked me if she had to "get dead" so she could talk to her daddy. My son lived for his family. He adored them and trusted everyone. His faith was endless. He trusted everyone and never believed that anyone could ever betray you. He found good in everything and forgave those who I though sometimes hurt him. He would say, "It's OK, Mom. I'll handle it. I'll take care of it." And he has done this in the 1 1/2 years his daddy has been gone. He never got over his dad's death, and we would sit and talk for hours in my living room. He was a devoted son and brother and husband. Even with his large family, we never heard "no" from him. It was "I'll take care of it." I can still hear the doctor say. after almost nine years of praying. "It's a boy." Dear God, how we loved him. I see him, his first day of school, crying for me not to leave and the teacher saying, "bye-bye mommy." I'll see him taking his first communion at Zion Lutheran Chruch in Bristol, all alone because we had to go to Michigan for his grandfather's funeral. And he wanted to show off for his daddy and me. I've kissed a million boo-boo's for him. But this is one I could not make better. We watch him go to the altar in a whit tux to marry a cute  little redhead named jamie. We waited at Delaware Valley Hosiptal as he came out to us and said, "It's a boy for Jamie and me." The love around their dinner table was so pronounced as each one took a turn at saying a prayer. I can still hear him give the eulogy at his dad's funeral, even though I knew his heart was broken. There was bond between that father and son that if all prople had it, there would be less hatred in this world.

I'll pray for the person who did this to my son. It will be unthinkable to go on without him, but his daddy would say, "Son, when you hit a brick wall, you go around it." I'm trying very hard to forgive someone who took away something that we adored. When I look at his family, when I look at his buddies, tears streaming down their faces, Good friends, gathering in love, family -- all in shock. Surely, someone out there knows something. I beg of you call the police. If you ever had a buddy like my son and say, "What would I do if it happen to us?" Because you always think it doesn't happen to us, it's always someone else. But it could happen to anyone. Anyone can buy a gun. That's the horrible though. I just wanted you to know this from a mother whose heart will never mend. But if could had more gun control, maybe my son would still be here and he would say: "It's OK, mom. I'll take care of it."

MY DADDY

My daddy was one of a kind
Always caring and loving
Didn't fuss over lives worries or hurts
Just separated the best from the worst
He was never degrading toward another person
Or judged them on his first impression

My daddy was mine
Always by my side
But now he's forever on my mind
Every day seems like a month
And every year feels like a thousand
Life without him seems so very hard
When making decisions it gets much harder with time
When I get married my daddy won't be there
To give me to the man I choose to take his place
But he will never be fully replaced

My daddy is gone and I wish there was another way
Why couldn't he just stay
His life was ended by another
And I hope someday that the other will get his too
Families got destroyed by this mishap
Hearts were broken and crumbled to pieces
Feelings were released whether true or not
And people got driven further apart

My daddy always taught me the values of life
Especially the ones to forgive and forget
So thank you God for my daddy
Even though he's gone
He'll always be here in memory!!!!

I Love You, Daddy;
Kristie Cambray-hill

I once knew this girl
Sweet as can be
But what happened to this girl
Has really got me
She hadn't a problem in her life
Until one day her father was taken away
Her life changed drasticly she felt she had no life
People wondered if there was another way!
This girl moved so many times
She couldn't stand to stay to long
People thought she knew the reason for the crime
But all she knew was it was very wrong
Growing up in years gone by
She was a woman before long
The only question on her mind is WHY
Why would anyone want to do her wrong
Answers never did come her way
But then again no one was ever close to her again
Her life of running had come to a hault
She stopped to think of all the pain
And came to her senses to start her life over again
This girl has changed alot
But learned alot about life too!!
You can run and run until your face turns blue
But the past never leaves until you let it leave you
When she started living again
She finally felt so much younger
She still was very much grown up inside
But she got to live life one day at a time
This story is true
I swear I don't lie
But read it carefully and ask yourself WHY!!!!
