Daniel Deatherage
Daniel Deatherage was the son of Donald and Jane (Demerest) Deatherage. He had one sister, Kimberly. The bodies of Daniel Detherage and his girlfriend of six months, Deborah J. Pate, were discovered near lower Main Street in New Brunswick, New Jersey on December 8, 1974. They had been bludgeoned, perhaps by nearby 2x4's, and were nearly nude. There were no initial indications of sexual assault. Both Daniel and Deborah had last been seen the previous night at a local tavern, Bootsie's, which was about 3/4 mile from the place of their death. In January of 1975, prosecutors said that Daniel had killed Deborah and that during the struggle, Daniel had been severely injured. (It is thought that Daniel was dazed and wandered into the path of an oncoming car.) They blame the altercation on Daniel's heaving drinking but both sets of parents said that they had never seen any previous signs of excessive drinking and/or violence.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
