Dammit!

RIP Nate

While I'm obviously sad to see this end this way, I am glad that they already have suspects in custody. Sounds like LE was right on top of this one once he was discovered.

"The remains of the 2006 Monarch High School graduate were found Thursday near Wyo. State Highway 85, about 10 miles north of Lusk, the county seat of Niobrara County."

What was the motive?

 

[RexManning]

I've found a RB that has lived in CO and WY so that might explain how Nate ended up over 230 miles from his home in Lusk. I also believe I've located the FB of the other suspect MCM. Still trying to figure out their connection.

I'm finding a Russell Edward Britton out of Berthoud, CO:

"Lafayette police deferred all questions to the Boulder County district attorney's office. The Lafayette Police Department in a statement said more than 17 law enforcement organizations across northern Colorado, Wyoming and North Dakota, as well as the FBI and U.S. Customs and Border Protection assisted in the investigation of Tallman's disappearance."

Yes, that's the same middle initial of the one I mentioned above too. He apparently also used to live in Cheyenne, WY.

 

[margarita25]

According to one of the original missing persons flyers (see post #40 by Spamelope), Nate was last seen between Longmont and Berthoud (there have been different accounts on the "last seen").

Could REB have been the person Nate was going to meet?

Look who was arrested in Boulder just a few days after Nate's car was located.
