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.

hmm, I think it might be this one:

Thanks but that's not the one. I think it was only in the last 10 years or so.

I was surprised and saddened to learn on Youtube yesterday that Michael Brayden Fuksa's remains were found (2 years ago!) I'd seen nothing about this online. Suicide apparently, very sad for the family. I remember seeing his story on an Episode of Disappeared.

Yeah, I remember when they found him. In Wyoming, right? In any case, i remember his story pretty vividly and actually had watched a TV show about him in the week or so before he was found...

His episode of Disappeared was the most fascinating because until the discovery of Bradyn’s remains, you could make a good case for any possible outcome of his disappearance: suicide, accidental death (like from the elements), homicide, or living a new life under an assumed name. Though I had a feeling suicide was the most likely outcome.

Not 'favourite' but it's one that's played on my mind lately

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

Alexandria "Ali" Lowitzer was a sixteen year-old from Spring, Texas who disappeared while walking to the local burger bar where she worked to pick up a paycheck. Apparently Ali never made it to the burger bar and there has been no trace of her ever since. There's no evidence that Ali disappeared voluntarily, and there has been no activity on her cellphone from the last ping that afternoon.

Convicted murderer Brandon Scott Lavergne was implicated by a private investigator. A witness saw Ali talking to a man in a white truck similar to the one owned by Lavergne, and there was a partial match on the license plate. However, Ali's mother says that Lavergne has been cleared by the authorities.

My heart breaks for poor Ali and her family. Ali seemed like a great girl and she was finally making her first steps towards independence before someone stole her future from her. Ali's mother continues to campaign tirelessly for her missing daughter and refuses to give up hope that she'll return. It's close to eight years since Ali vanished, and sadly I suspect that she is no longer with us. I wish her family could find some closure but I'm afraid that they'll never find her.

I've been going through this thread again. While the cases are sad, I'm already pleased that in going through the first ten pages or so, quite a few of the cases have been resolved or at least the missing person has been found, providing some comfort to the families.

The site is going through a much needed redesign and all old links are not redirecting. Hopefully it's an easy fix on Meaghan's part. Not sure what to think of the color scheme, but it's an improvement.

Here's a couple she posted about on Twitter that have the new page layout:

From what I have read, she's trying to make the site more mobile-friendly. I applaud her efforts. I think the kinks will be worked out shortly. It's not her doing the upgrade, but she's gotten help from a web designer...

I've only just recently discovered this guy and been watching all of his videos on YouTube. He's even been to Australia to cover 3 or 4 missing person's cases around Sydney. Blue Mountains National Park etc.

Some of the cases he's covered are just plain weird beyond belief.

Went looking for missing persons cases in Michigan and found this interesting case:
http://charleyproject.org/case/cathe...rbara-davidson

The police noted that Catherine's parents seemed unusually callous about the situation. Three days into the search, Anna and Robert were seen sitting in a car with other couples, laughing and drinking alcohol. The police were suspicious, but there was no evidence to implicate that Davidsons at that time, and all their children backed up their story.

Anna and Robert had another daughter, Joy, after Catherine's disappearance. More than thirty years after the child went missing, Joy went to the police and said her older sister had told her Catherine had never gone to Warren Dunes State Park that day and was, in fact, already dead by then.

Joy stated she was told Anna bound and gagged Catherine and placed her in a closet in the family's home in Chicago. The other children heard scratching coming from the closet all night long, then the noises stopped. When Joy's sister looked in the closet she saw her sister lying in a fetal position, dead.

The Davidson parents turned to religion after Catherine went missing. They moved to Zebulon, Georgia and then to rural Florida, and in the mid-1980s they founded the House of Prayer for All People, a religious group that operated under a system of collectivism and Old Testament style beliefs, including adhering to a kosher diet and wearing full-length robes and head coverings.

At its largest, the group comprised 24 members. They would take new names upon joining. Robert changed his name to Jonah Young and Anna became Anna Young.

Anna, who was in charge, was cruel to the other members, particularly after her husband died in 1988. She forced members to turn over all their savings, separated parents from their children, and frequently starved, humiliated, beat and tortured the members, especially children, for their "sins." Each beating took 33 lashes with a whip, the same number Christ had received before the crucifixion.

Annandale Jane Doe and Asha Degree are two that come to mind. Not a Charley Project case, but I'm also obsessed with Blair Adams.

We shouldn't PM these things because others may be interested in a case that someone is describing

[Gelatinous Goo]

Wow, this is quite the story. A very amped-up David Stone-type of situation.
