So now the argument happened in May instead of September, as NamUS still records. NamUs says "Leslie was 16 years old at the time of his disappearance," but his birthday was on June 10, 1964 according to the CP. The only way this works is if he disappeared before his birthday, i.e. in May...

I just suggested Tatjana as a possible match on the WS thread for 1111UFNY. 1111UFNY was found less than five months after Tatjana went missing. Height, weight, age, race, and hair color and texture are all within range, and Tatjana has not been excluded as a match. Governors Island is also...

What about Tatjana Tarasovna Lupach? She was last heard from on January 24, 1999, less than five months before this decedent was found. Height, weight, age, race, and hair color are all within range—and even Tatjana's hair appears straight in some of her NamUs pictures. Tatjana went missing...

I'm so sorry for any confusion as to where Caleb's remains were found! I guess I read too fast this morning. Thanks to everyone who cleared up my misunderstanding!

Any theories as to how he got from The Cottages to the Greenwood facility? According to Google Maps, it's a 3-hour walk but a 14-minute drive. I doubt he intended to go for a 3-hour walk in the middle of the night when he had a trip planned in just a few hours and an UberEats order waiting at...

What's up with the different dates? Charley Project says she's been missing since February 21, 2009, but was last seen on April 10, 2008, almost a full year prior. NamUs says she was last seen on April 21, 2009, listing it as the date of last contact.

You may be on to something there. Grief can make us all do irrational things. I can see a scenario where someone thinks, "If I'm grieving Steven's loss this bad, I can't imagine what it's like for his mother!" and then makes the calls in order to lessen her pain. Maybe what started out as...

What a baffling case! The impression I got from the Willamette Week article quoted above is that Steven was a very conflicted young man. • He devoured Gray's Anatomy at age 13, and yet was crying over a cadaver during his first week of medical school. • He alternately ignored his classmates...

Thanks for posting that article, @ekardh ! There's a lot to unpack in the psychiatrist's analysis, but for the most part I agree with her insights. I agree that the abductor was intelligent, very sure and confident of himself, and that his fantasy was to keep a woman captive, so he was very...

Thanks so much @ekardh for commenting and getting a discussion going! And thank you @FromGermany1 for the excellent sources you shared! This baffling case has stood out so much to me because I think it's the first I've ever heard where an abductor allows the captive to make voice contact with...

Very confusing case. From what I've found, the Monterey bus stop is just a half an hour walk from the school. So assuming Norman's mom dropped him off for work around 9 a.m., maybe he asked to be sent him home around 9:30, arrived at the bus station around 10:00 a.m., and then maybe the bus (or...

BBM. Date of last contact was May 1981, but he argued with his mother four months later in September 1981? I don't understand this four-month discrepancy unless there's reason to doubt the mother's account of the story. Like, maybe there was independent contact in May 1981, but no one else...

His father's obituary from Newspapers.com, dated Wed, Dec 9, 1998:

Thank you!! I can't believe I found it either! I tend to agree but I concede that maybe Brian didn't know him at all. According to the article, Brian recently got laid off and was working odd jobs to make ends meet. Someone on one of those odd jobs could've suggested that man to Brian for...

This article from GoUpstate provides a lot more information. I bolded what I think is most important. Family fears missing dad in trouble Staff Writer Herald-Journal Published 11:01 p.m. ET Jan. 3, 1992 | Updated 11:00 p.m. ET Jan. 3, 1992 The family of Brian Keith Awalt is sure something bad...

Let's not forget that some people are actually okay with sharing their location. I did it for a while with some friends through the Find My feature on iPhone. At the time, my thinking was: "if we happen to be near each other, maybe we can meet up and hang out." Caleb could've thought along...

The photo was taken on SnapChat. I don't use the app but I've read that when you and a friend "snap" each other at least once every 24 hours, it creates a "Snapstreak" which users often try to maintain as long as they can. Maybe Caleb saw the "streak" between him and his friend was about to...

Someone in another thread suggested that Veronica might be UP1985 who was found in Maricopa about two months after Veronica went missing. Maricopa is less than two hours away from Tucson so this fits. That thread also includes a list or ruleouts for UP1985, and Veronica doesn't appear among them.

BBM. If we could know whether or not his parents had the ability to track his phone, then I feel like we'd have our answer. I realize Caleb was a 21-year-old adult. But if he were on his parents' phone plan, then maybe part of that plan was retaining the ability to track him for whatever...

According to the article: "Kimberly Kay Novak was a free spirit with a knack for finding trouble. She was known to disappear for long stretches due to alcohol and drug addiction that made it hard for her to keep her life on track, according to her family." The discrepancies could be a result...
