Not from Charley, but REALLY creepy nonetheless. I just wish there was more info. Cases in which more than one person vanish at the same time are always weird.

I may be a few years early on this, but Christopher Wilder?

Man, 4'6", huh? Those gals were teeny-tiny. Can't imagine they would be able to put up too much of a fight. Sad.

Jason Jolkowski is my pet case.

http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/...ski_jason.html

Jason was called in to cover a shift at a restaurant. His car was in for repairs so he arranged for a co-worker to pick him up from a nearby school (Jason wasn't confident giving directions to his house). After awhile, Jason's boss called the house to find out where Jason was. Jason had never arrived at the school to meet his ride and there was no surveillance footage of him either. Jason was last seen by his younger brother and a neighbour bringing in the garbage. As far as I know, there were no sightings, confirmed or otherwise, of Jason after that. Somewhere between the short walk to the school he vanished.

What gets me about this case is that Jason did not have the usual risk-factors of a missing person. He was a 19 year-old, 6'2" young man who disappeared in broad daylight. He had no problems with crime or antisocial behaviour. He was just your average teenager. People have posited all kinds of theories down the years: that he was victim of a car accident and his body was dumped, or that he planned his disappearance and committed suicide, but none of these theories seem to hold much water.

At first, I suspected someone at the workplace. Primarily because they were the only ones who knew of the change to Jason's schedule. It was also the perfect opportunity to target him while his car was out of action. There was also the eerie coincidence that Jason was due to start a new job the week after he vanished. For what it's worth the police investigation cleared his co-workers.

Personally, I think that he was targeted by a sexual predator. An older male who lived in the area and caught Jason as he made his way to the school. Perhaps he lured Jason into his house under false pretenses and attacked him. Jason was said to be quite a friendly, helpful kinda guy, and I suspect that whoever killed him took advantage of that unsuspecting nature.

Another odd coincidence is that reportedly another 19 year-old by the name of Samuel Sherman vanished from the same neighbourhood the following month. He left for a job interview one morning and never returned. Unfortunately there is a paucity of info about Samuel Sherman. There isn't even so much as a photo ID. Some theorize that he may have just been a young drifter passing through the area, but without substantiation the similarities of the two cases cannot be ignored.

It's been sixteen years since Jason disappeared and in that time there hasn't been a single lead or tip. It's as if he simply vanished into thin air on that fateful morning.

I'm somewhat familiar with Jason's case. It's heartbreaking.

Coming up on the one year mark of Shannah Boiteau going missing in a manner I can't believe was quickly resolved.

http://culturecrossfire.com/etc/robe...kowitz-murder/
Shannah Boiteau and her boyfriend were traveling from Wisconsin to California on June 22nd of this year when the couple were passed by a cop car near St. Cloud, Minnesota. This seemed to spook Boiteau and she suddenly jumped out of the car and raced into the brush and woods that lined the highway. It is thought that she was concerned that she was going to get in trouble for violating her parole as she had been recently drinking. Shannah has not been seen since.

An independent witness saw Boiteau run into the woods, so her boyfriend is not considered a suspect in her disappearance. She was not wearing shoes at the time she ran into the trees and her purse was left behind in the car.

http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/missi...u-safe-n625606

Other police reports have her being arrested a few years earlier for a huffing related car accident, so there's probably much more to this story.

This one has probably been posted, but it's an interesting read:

http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/...ey_evelyn.html

There is a remarkable amount of evidence in the case - separate pools of blood, shoes, a jacket, pants, underwear, a bra - whereas so many other missing persons cases have zero evidence that could be linked to a perpetrator. It would be very interesting if the advances in forensic science that we have nowadays could have been used in this particular case way back when. I wonder how much of that evidence still exists and if any of it could be retested for any DNA profiles.

I'm not really buying the whole Ed Gein thing personally. The shoe impressions found matched a sneaker, and Ed Gein didn't seem like the type to wear sneakers.

I posted this one on the first page, but it's definitely a worthy one to bring up again. I also don't buy Gein as the killer. It doesn't fit his MO at all. I think we're looking at a sexual predator(s) who was either after Evelyn or the usual baby-sitter.

This thread and the CP site are dangerous for me. I start out looking for something specific, but within minutes end up in a time-warping vortex where I get distracted by all sorts of interesting things. Is it just me, or does this kind of thing happen to anyone else?
Speaking of interesting CP cases, I just found out about the Iverson case from this thread. I mean WTF is that?? I got about halfway through the summary and my head was spinning so bad, I didn't know if I was coming or going! I think I might need to take another Imitrex now, thank you very much...

^ Describes it for the whole family.

Scum, ABSOLUTE SCUM is the only word to describe Lake and Ng. I stumbled across YouTube footage of this poor woman abducted, sitting in a chair, hands tied whilst Lake told her they were taking her baby away.

The CP site reports that authorities believe they were victims of these monsters. Of course they were! the footage is solid evidence this poor woman, her partner and baby were kidnapped and eventually disposed of by them.

Such a sickening case.

Different victim, I believe. The poor lady in the footage is Brenda O'Connor. Similar case, though. Her partner Lonnie Bond and their baby were both killed by Lake & Ng, while Brenda was forced to be their sex slave until she outlived her usefulness.

Trying to remember a Charley Project case, it was a group of elderly people. If I recall, a husband & wife and one of their siblings. They went for a drive one day and never returned, but the husband wasn't supposed to be driving because of his health conditions. It's one of those classic cases where the likeliest explanation is they had an accident and ended up submerged underwater.

If anyone can remember the names, that'd be great. Thanks!

Could it possibly be this one? Not a husband and wife, but a man, his housekeeper, and the latter's sister.

Someone already PM'ed me the answer but thank you. That is the case I was thinking of.

I remember a case back in the 60s/70s about two boys who were camping with their families. They went off to explore the WW2 bunkers and were never seen again. Most likely they got lost, fell into a crevice or something and died. What was more surprising to me is that the families held a memorial service only a few months later. Different time, I guess?

Found it!

Another case where I can't remember the name, but there was an older guy who went missing. He had been visited by his nurse that morning but that was the last time anyone saw him. If I remember right, sniffer dogs tracked his scent to the end of the road but lost it after that. He was elderly and had health problems, so it's hard to believe he got far on foot. I think it may have been a rural neighbourhood. He may have gone walkabout and collapsed somewhere and his remains haven't been found yet. Although extensive searches often take place, you sometimes forgot how difficult it is to completely comb an area of land.
