    Bob Pronger

    Pronger's case is still open,he has never been offically declared dead.The talk back when he disappeared was that he made it to Mexico.The story was that John,Bob's brother was seen getting on a plane to Mexico to bring Bob supplies.John can't tell us anything,he got a knock on the door in Aug.88......................

      Bob Pronger was killed & fed to the pigs at a farm in Indiana so that there would be no reamins including dental,his brother John was informed of it immediatley afterwards , and was told by the killers that they wanted part of John's chop shop business or he would be nex talso John pled guilty to a crime that Bob committed & served the jail time because Bob had a wife & family to take care of.

        I saw Bob yesterday shopping at Kmart in Orland. He's shrunk a little now that he's in his late 80's.

    That old # 3 later became Scott Tanzillo's #48, and won many a race at Illiana in the Sports Stock division. Two great drivers, 1 great car.

      Bob Pronger was killed in Merriville Indiana & fed to the pig's to eat his remains,after he was killed the 2 killers went to see his brother John in his Bkue Island garage&told him that Bob was gone & they also wanted part of his chop shop business,this is the same garage that Billy Dauber used to drive by periodicaly and shoot the big garage door with a machine gun just to startle him
