I swear I pot another post up last night. Hmmm. I congratulated Linask for her efforts. She was able to talk her Uncle into going on the radio show. It's going to be terrific for the case and for the family. I also asked if anyone knew where the original information about an...

I live on the east coast too and have the same feelings about this case, Mark and his family. This is so unfair to do to a family. I want to help, but I'm not sure how. I'm probably going over things that have been gone over many times. I guess that's how we do it and sometimes it's...

Silversurvivor, if you don't mind. Do you live in the area of Portland? Is there something you could add to this mystery? Thanks

LinasK, oh, you weren't the one who provided the information on the Eagle Tavern. From what you know, do you believe Mark was there? Do you believe he was a regular customer and that this is where he met the person he had the relationship with? Do you think the poster is correct about this...

LinasK, so glad we are on the same page. Tell me about the Eagle Bar. You said it was a leather and S&M bar, it closed at some point, moved and opened up again. Did it open under the same name and management? Tell me, if you can, how LE handled the inquiry into Mark's disappearance knowing...

This person is going to control his moods with alcohol and/or drugs. He can not control it himself. He may be in treatment and may be on prescription medication too. I suspect Mark met him in a bar. Perhaps he was supposed to meet Mark at the bar that night, no one saw this man so maybe he...

Thanks LinasK for that information. They say depression is anger internalized. I'm thinking of the type of anger that would come out of a person who is suicidal, unable to take Mark's rejection. Imagine suicide vs. homicide. Rage turned in and rage turned outward. Not the type of suicidal...

As far as this case is concerned, we know that this was a rage killing. You can tell this by the infliction of wounds. Overkill as they say. Who hated Mark enough to inflict this kind of injury, well that's the question. The incident was personal and upclose. Mark was face to face with him...

Tulessa, I just wanted to stop and give you my condolences. I just couldn't read the circumstances of your brother's death right now, but I know how much it hurts to lose a dear brother. I lost mine when I was 19 and he in his early 20's. It hurts for a lifetime doesn't it. It's no...

Sorry, I wasn't able to work on the case today. If it was ever proven that Mark was taken across a state border, I believe the FBI can come in. That sure would be helpful. We've got to start checking for similar cases. We don't know if LE has fingerprints. If they don't, even if...

Lots of reading to do tomorrow. I think it would be a good idea for you to touch base with Mark's parents and let them know about the radio show and how you are trying to help. Of course I don't know what the family situation is, it's your call. I'm so glad you got that information together...

Mark deserves better than this. I can only help to a point and then we have to get in "better eyes" than mine. Until then, Are you or Mark's parents in contact with the police? How often? Maybe someone here, a relative, can help Mark's parents by acting as a liason between them and the...

Hilda, there is a DNA result but no match on the perp. He's not in the system. I bet they have fingerprints as well. Let's see if this guy committed the same type of crime somewhere else. Single man Gay lifestyle Frequents Bars (perhaps leather, and S&M) Drinks Lives alone Lives in...

Nice to see you Hilda. There is an FBI program called VCAP, Violent Criminal Apprehension Program. This program inputs the information surrounding this case and checks to see if there are any other cases in the country involving the same scenario. The police should be able to do this if it...

Mark may have picked someone up, a stranger even and been "rolled" robbed of his money in the apartment. For some, there is an exchange of money for sex and there might have been an argument over the amount or the intention may have always been to rob Mark. If Mark refused or faught back, the...

I was reading up a bit and found that S&M, Bondage, Leather, the Gay Community and the Straight Community can find themselves in the same room depending their need or desire. This opens up the door to say, this perp may have come from the Gay Community, Straight or Bi-Sexual Community. Note...

First, thanks LinasK for that information on the DNA. Sounds like there is DNA, unmatched, and most likely fingerprints, unmatched, telling us that this guy is not in the system "yet". Again, I don't know how someone commits this type of brutal crime and is not known to the system or known to...

You have to work with me. I'm just trying to imagine what could have happened to Mark. I have few clues. I'm wondering if LE has DNA from the house that they can't match until they get a perp. Mark must have faught back. If they have DNA, let's help figure out who the perp could be. I'm...

Bringing the idea of a strong person back. You're right Cazzie, this person had to be strong although Mark was not a large man, the guy still had to be capable of moving him to the vehicle. Good point. I would check someone at work who had to move boxes, packages, even suitcases at the...

There were three places in Mark's life that he could have met the man who eventually killed him. If no one in his family was capable of such rage, than let's look at his personal life, and the gay culture in Portland was a part of that, and let's look at his place of employment at the airport...
