http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/09/03/the-throwaways ^^^^^^ NEED TO READ ^^^^^ If you think the CI angle is a possibility at all (and I guess even if you don't) this article talks about the growing problem in America of young people being murdered after LE recruits them to be CI's...

It will be frustrating if we never get to know anything. If it wasn't a murder related to some type of relationship or prior knowledge, the public deserves to know. Drug and gang-related violence affect all of us in a community, even if we aren't personally involved in any of it.

http://www.kvrr.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28822&Itemid=57 Above is a link to a 9/12 report on worsening gang activity in Fargo. A person interviewed said he had a friend who was apparently walking home from work one night and was attacked by a group on men that came around...

I did read the comments on their FB page. Very disturbing, and if there is at least some truth to it then it looks like TB was a CI, based on the severity of violence and the mention of a "Chicago drug dealer.". I still think the fact that TB's body was left out in the open in a place where it...

Yes, it is that corrupt in North Dakota and Fargo. I work in Fargo but live over the border in Minnesota. I am personally acquainted with someone within the City of Fargo who holds a prominent position in the government system. In the last year this person has witnessed illegal activity and...

Unless, of course, the family already pretty much knows, and LE pretty much knows, and therefore there is no need to talk (answering my own question ^^^^). I remember an earlier poster who said he/she was from the Sartel area and knew the family and said back then the family already does know COD.

I completely agree about his parents and have thought that saying nothing at all is very, well, different. It's like they don't even care - I mean, I know that's not true but that's the feeling it gives. Why wouldn't they want the publicity for the sake of justice and keeping the case fresh in...

I wish I knew what JW knows.

Yes, CM did tweet being "sloshed at the trap."

http://*************.com/2014/09/23/18-year-old-north-dakota-state-university-student-thomas-tom-gregory-bearson-missing-since-92014-in-fargo-nd/ CM is interviewed in this article when TB was still considered missing about the lost tweet. CM said TB and JW did find a ride to his place after...

This makes a lot of sense to me - that TB was sober and playing video games that night. In the statement written by TB's friends' mom (can't remember her name right now) she said TB felt really bad about the DUI and was going to stop/cut back on drinking.

Brandon14, did you know TB?

This is a very interesting article about college freshman deaths and the high risk time of transitioning. I never thought of it like this before - that is, if you are a college freshman you are at increased risk of death...

Maybe it started out as a robbery, with a couple following him after he left. He had an iPhone 5 and brand new Michael Jordan shoes. We all know college students don't have any money, but maybe someone wanted to see exactly what else he had on him, even $20, and to relieve him of his phone, so...

Your post got me thinking, the part about how dangerous people on meth can be. Remember a year or two ago down in Florida when a man high on bath salts randomly attacked a homeless man and essentially ate his face off? It made national headlines. Also, I recalled an article I read in the MSP...

I live in F-M area and work in Fargo. Actually it's not like that. Nobody I know or work with even talks about this, except for maybe some random comment. New crimes and regional murders routinely take over the headlines. In fact, I think crime in F-M is increasingly becoming more like...

And JW "lawyered up" right away after body was found. An earlier post from someone with connection to Sartell said that TB's parents are refusing the condolences of JW's family. IMO, JW knows a lot.

As noted earlier in this thread, TB made a new friend after moving to Fargo that he spent a lot of time with. Baseball was/is this new friend's sport - he played a lot of it in high school. So if TB left with a BB player/s it is likely this new friend was one of them.

I agree with Rocco. I believe LE has a pretty good idea of whose involved and what happened and are waiting on additional evidence and/or information before arrest(s) are made.

Yes, the backpack! I forgot about the backpack. I wonder why LE has not mentioned it - maybe it was found? It does seem strange that you'd take a backpack if you were going out to party.
