Body Identified As Missing Mouseketeer, Dennis Day

Saturday, 8 June 2019, 15:00 Dr. Tar Uncategorized 23

Chosen as one of the first ten members of Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club (which ran on TV from 1955-1959), Dennis Day became a Mouseketeer despite his admitted inability to sing. Day managed to make the “red-team,” of those popular enough to stay with the show more than one season, but was released at the end of the second year. He managed a few gigs until eventually becoming a “musical director and an entertainer for the California Renaissance Pleasure Faires and the Dickens Christmas Faire” into the 1980s. More

Day, age 75, was reported missing by husband Ernie Caswell (who is hospitalized and suffers memory lost) in July 2018. A body was found in Day’s Phoenix, Oregon home this April, though police were unable to make a positive identification until yesterday to be that of the missing performer.

“How authorities were unable to find the body during the first six months of the investigation, including multiple searches of the home where the body was found and the use of cadaver dogs, is still unknown and Oregon’s investigation is ongoing.” More

  2. Bobby was both better and older; and lives stil – near byl. Annette died years ago! Are Spin + Marty still around?

    I have been a Walt fan for over 70 years; as my wife is. I had a Davy Crockett rifle in 6th grade, Because only the wildman Goldwater thought girls should be in the military, she had a coonskin cap. Next year she was at Disneyland 7/15/55! * We go at least 55 times a year. Got pics of Steve driving my kids on his fire engine 45 years ago; same Steve driving same engine with grand kids 10 years ago! Mickey was the leader of my club!

    * For Easterners that is the day Disneyland opened.

  6. A while back XM’s radio 50’s on 5 played all of the Ballad of Davy Crockett and I found myself singing along loudly without missing a beat or a word much to my daughters chagrin. She wondered what the big deal as I explained it to her. Talk about an ear worm that can be recited and sung pretty much verbatim by most baby boomers of the 50’s and 60’s. The Mickey Mouse Club theme song is the same way. Ol’ Walt turned us all into lemmings just like the lemmings in the old Disney nature documentaries. Anyone care to jump over a cliff in conformity with everyone else, maybe that’s where liberals came from in the first place.

  15. Between THIS guy’s “husband”, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, etc., just what the heck were they putting in the WATER at Disney Studios?!? Estrogen, soy, and codeine? Maybe some tincture of opium and cocaine?

    ….Geeze, Cubby, y’all are off the hizzle…

  16. I’d been watching this story ripen for about a week now. It seem so queer, I wasn’t sure how exactly to present it, so I played it straight.

    What, too soon?
