In May 1979, Private Dulaney disappeared from his Marine Corps posting, leading the Marine Corps to believe he was AWOL (absent without leave).

However, Private Dulaney’s disappearance would have a much more sinister explanation and eventually the truth would come out.

Is Private Dulaney dead or alive?

Leroy Dulaney was killed by a Marine and is now deceased. The person who killed him served at Camp Lejeune and was convicted of manslaughter in Onslow County Superior Court. Evidence presented at the trial showed that Dulaney and his killer had been riding together. His assassin drew a revolver and fatally shot the other marine in the head. He would take the body to a neighboring forest and shoot it again after the cold-blooded murder. The insane killer would go back to where he put the body after a month and a half and transfer it.

Who killed Private Dulaney?

Terribly, a fellow Marine named Mark Duane Fletcher had Dulaney killed. As more information about the case came to light, it became clear that Fletcher had previously made statements about wanting to become a serial killer and expressed his desire to kill 12 people in his lifetime.

The other troops in the camp had already labeled Mark Fletcher a ‘loner’ and there were unsubstantiated reports that he may have been a drug dealer and a follower of a cult of Satan. It was reported that Fletcher and Dulaney got to know each other before the tragic day he was killed.

Billie June Rohweller was friends with Corporal Benjamin Duval and Fletcher. On the night of Dulaney’s murder, Duval was also in the car and later claimed that Fletcher had made him an accomplice to the crime. He had been driving the vehicle and after the incident he would help Fletcher move and bury the body.

Mark Fletcher would also be held responsible for other crimes. After shooting Marine Ronald Ray Jenkins, who had met Duval and Fletcher on May 25, Fletcher would shoot Dulaney just two days later.

Jenkins had arranged for the sale of an M16 pistol he had previously stolen to Fletcher. Carole Dulaney would locate Mark Fletcher and question him about her son as part of her investigation. Later, Fletcher would abandon her car and run away on foot. Duval would eventually receive a 20-year term for his involvement in the heinous crime, and Fletcher would receive life without the possibility of parole for the murders of Dulaney and Jenkins. Fletcher is currently housed at the Hyde Correctional Facility in Fairfield, North Carolina.
