Buckingham Township, PA – The Pennsylvania State Police are offering a $5,000 reward for information that could help solve the 1972 death of 4-year-old Michael Allen Daum, whose body was found on a neighbor’s front lawn more than five decades ago.

According to the Pennsylvania State Police Troop M Criminal Investigation Assessment Unit, Daum’s body was discovered on June 26, 1972, along PA Route 413 in Buckingham Township, Bucks County. Investigators say the child had facial injuries, and his death was attributed to asphyxiation associated with aspirated vomitus.

Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact Troop M’s CIA Unit at 610-861-2026 or submit a tip anonymously through PSP Tips at p3tips.com/tipform.aspx?ID=107. Tips leading to an arrest or case resolution could qualify for a cash reward.
