Watched this one last night
Curtis Pishonshowed up to work the night shift on July 4, 2000, part of a skeleton crew for the holiday. What happened over the next few hours is a mystery.

"A few things happened that night," Chief Michael Gallagher said. "One was that Mr. Pishon's car was caught on fire. No. 2, which we discovered later, was that there were vending machines and a change machine that was broken into using a forklift that was on the property."

At about 3:20 a.m. July 5, Curtis Pishon's supervisor checked on him at his guard shack.

"Around 3:45, it was noticed that he was missing from his position, and two cars were seen driving away at a high rate of speed leaving the factory," Agati said.

"When they called me that morning and they said he disappeared and his car had a fire and all of that, we all thought that he may have done himself in," his father said.

Suicide seemed likely at the time because of Curtis Pishon's illness and the end of his police career. But investigators said some things weren't right.

There were lots of theories. Did he just walk away or did he see something that night at the factory?

Curtis Pishon's cigarettes, lighter and lunch were in his guard shack, and his apartment was untouched. Credit card and bank activity stopped, and his body was never found.

There was an update on another thread about this case. Essentially the police knows who killed Curtis but due to lack of evidence and no body they can't arrest him. He was a worker at the factory where Curtis disappeared. Police believe he was burglarizing the vendening machines and got into a confrontation with Curtis. He ended up killing Curtis. I can't recall his name but it's on the other thread along with articles linked to the case. Apparently he has a reputation of a violent hothead in town. Let's just say nobody was surprised he's the prime suspect.

At first glance, this case seems like it could have been suicide. Even the family freely admitted he had been despondent for some time and I think his fragile mental state was obvious, but if that is the case, it makes no sense that he was never found.
