Investigators gathered up the personal effects of all the people aboard.  One important thing was missing from the list – Buddy Holly’s distinctive black glasses.

"The Big Bopper" Richardson were killed when their chartered plane headed to Minnesota crashed in bad weather in Iowa. Holly and his band, the Crickets, had just hit No. 1 with their song "That'll Be the Day."
