Something seems "offi I do not believe this. Why? Because Steven's brother and father Rolf knocked on the doors in that neighborhood, asking for help. This was never mentioned by them NOR did this "witness" mention talking to them. ALSO. We've all seen the videos. He doesn't walk from...

I'm in that area and very familiar with it as a "car drop". It's unlikely that anyone would have willingly gone there with the storm about the start in a few hours.

From the MERLIN DUTSON IS MISSING Facebook page: UPDATE: Friday, Aug 16th Merlin and his car has been located but he is no longer with us. It’s with a heavy heart that we bear this news, we are grieving greatly. We ask that everyone respect the families privacy as we go through this tough time...

What kind of "major new info" could possibly be uncovered in the neighborhood. Which one? St George, Sun City Anthem, or any of the "phone stops"? People in the Sun City neighborhood have moved and/or died since Steven's car was parked there.

This is nearly identical to the recent Las Vegas case, where the young boy was reported to have "disappeared" in the park. I predict the same result. UNLESS someone in that park reports that they saw those people there, I am skeptical of their description.

God. What woman would think HE is a "catch"? I want to see the mother's parental unit, to see what raised HER to be attracted to something like that. I am sickened. She's 20, with a three and two year old, hitched up with that 40-year-old loser? What did he ADD to her life?

Exactly what I suspected when this was first reported. I just hoped I was wrong.

Things are too quiet. I think they're investigating something. It makes no sense for a child (screaming, crying) to "go missing" in a busy park like that.

Yes, I am that perpetually skeptical person. That is a VERY busy park (we don't live there but we've been there) yet we have no reports from witnesses or the person who reported him missing. My thoughts have already gone in a dark direction. I so hope I'm wrong. That pond should have been...

It's been seven hours and not a peep from the person who took him to the park. I hope someone's reviewing all security cameras in the area to confirm what that person is telling police.

The LDS don't have study groups at homes. The landlord is in prison for drug and weapon offenses, after being arrested several times in the past years. The information I put in the timeline is still valid.

But the missing girl's name was Joan Gay Croft. The Facebook page spells it as Gaye.

This entire situation makes no sense at all. If you've lost your job and have been homeless for a week, WHY do you head out onto dirt roads in the snowy mountains? No relatives, no friends? In Cedar City, there are are services to help them. In St George, about 60 miles south, it's a warm...

A couple of us (on the Salt Lake Tribune website) worked on this; Amtrak's route IS through Tobar enroute to the Hogan Tunnel. This means that his body *was* found alongside the tracks his train travelled on. It's obvious he never made it to Salt Lake City and that all those "sightings"...

I don't think he ever made it to Salt Lake City. The reports of a "thin, blonde young man" were hopeful to his parents but if he purposely got off the train here, why would he have left his most precious belongings on the train? His journal, his computer, his wallet? If he was hitchhiking...
