Who is Kurt Sova?

The death of seventeen-year-old Kurt Sova (from Ohio) is another one of the many UM segments that sticks in my mind. (The segment first aired during the show's 1988-89 season.) I recall the story of how he went to a party in October of 1981, disappeared, and was found dead in a vacant lot five days later. It is puzzling to me that an autopsy couldn't determine how he died.

According to the local coroner (who was obviously puzzled), Sova had not been beaten or traumatized in any way. Nor was the amount of alcohol found in his system high enough to be fatal.

To this day, nobody knows how Kurt Sova died. :(

Yes, that was a very puzzling story. Perhaps one day there will be an update, but you have to wonder since it happened so long ago.

There can't be an update since the show has been cancelled and is supposedley gone forever.

Read my thread about the show being gone forever for tips on contacting Cosgrove to keep the show alive!!

THANKS!!

:wave:

The funny thing about this story is they don't believe he died the night of the party because a buddy of his saw him a few days later getting into someones car. The friend had been out of town and didn't know Kurt was missing. Why Kurt didn't go back home after the party or let his family know where he was staying is a mystery in itself. His mother said he was a good kid who never got into trouble so it would be unlike him to just disappear voluntarily.

The Kurt Sova case is being shown on Lifetime today(Monday Nov. 3rd at 1pm ET) it's the first time it aired...

Looking at the episode guide, that case is on the same episode as the Matthew Chase case, and if that's true I'm very interested in trading for (or even buying) a tape of that.

Yeah, that was an interesting episode today, especially after the ghost stories all week last week.
