Time covers almost all tracks when it comes to hiding up a tragedy.
Records show that Leon Anger died at Vision Quest a large firm working to "rebilitate" minors and he was one of the minors who died in the so-called care of Vision Quest.
Another site shortly state:
Leon Anger, Vanango County Pennsylvania, seventeen years old, September 16 1984, runaway/drowning
We don't know if he did run away from the program or it was a cover up.
If we look at the disappearances from CEDU during that period later police investigation has proved that the child murderer had access to CEDU-campuses when the children started to disappear.
Back then there was no Megan-law. There was no legislation so people knew where child offenders were living or more important where they worked.

Why are these children dying? (I was just a child....)
I came across this article about the death of Leon Anger while researching something else. I was taken aback by your suggestion of abduction and cover up, and wanted to add something here. I didn't know his name at the time--or don't remember that I knew it--but I think Leon Anger is one of three boys who ran away from the Silver Valley Wilderness Camp, which was owned by the Vision Quest program. The date and events and location fit. I was a juvenile in the program at that time. Having just returned from the Rough Riders wagon train, I was temporarily placed in the Silver Valley Wilderness Camp while I waited on space to open up in their residential program, located at "The Lodge" in Franklin, PA. I was there when two of the three boys, who had run away the night before, were returned to the camp. They filled us other boys in on some of the details, relating that they had gotten to the river and the third boy, presumably Leon, had told them that he didn't know how to swim. They told me that they forged ahead into the water, but didn't know what happened to Leon. Having this first-hand account from two of the three boys who had disappeared that night with Leon, I hardly could believe there was any cover-up. The three boys had run away that night. That was a very common event in that program. Not a Vision Quest cover-up, but the truth of what happened. All evidence pointed to the facts of a tragic drowning, not an abduction. I was involved in the subsequent search for Leon, driving around with staff members looking for him, checking river banks on the other side of the river, hoping to see his footprints, indicating that he had come out of the river. Later we were informed that his body was recovered from the river. It was very sad news for us boys to receive. I often wondered how it made the other two boys feel. Maybe they had told me at the time, but it is too far back to remember those details. Hope this addition helps clarify some things from some.
