Found Deceased CT - Todd 'TJ' Allen, 18, Sterling, 26 Dec 2016 *Arrests*

[ZhaZhaHa]

Just wondering if something might have been going on with his girlfriend. They should a copy of the text that was sent to her and the previous day there were sad faces sent and that's it. I will see if I can find it. It's on his FB page. Not sure if we're allowed to add that.

Thanks! And there was a picture of the texts on HIS page? Or a friend's page? I don't see anything there unless they've gone in and locked things down

UGGG! Per the find TJ FB page, a woman says they walked the perimeter of Ross Pond, left water bottles and granola bars there for other searchers. I get they're trying to help, but you're contaminating search areas with things that weren't there before. STOP IT

I never saw the texts - I looked at his FB page shortly after the story broke and it was locked down then

The FB group is a hot mess. Lot of drama and I know people mean well.

I'll admit I'm not an outoorsy person in the sense I don't hunt, fish, ride ATVs or dirtbikes, etc. - but is it normal for someone who is going out in the woods on the trails to wear camouflage? I would think it might be a little dangerous.

I see what you're saying. Sounds like the area he was in is predominantly bike trails and hiking trails so yes people wear camouflage stuff all the time just not full on gear. I think others local on the area would be able to tell if it's land that you can hunt on.

bbm - I believe someone local upthread mentioned that it is indeed hunting season and did not think it's a great idea when people don't wear orange vests.

aha, that also says they couldnt determine a precise location thru his phone pings, i was just looking at the map and its about 4 miles between the two spots they mention in my last post - this is the area;

https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7800569,-71.8299725,14.25z

the state park on the west side and cucumber hill road running north to south on the east side

bbm - This brings up some questions for me:

- where the phone pinged is not where they are searching?

- they tried to ping his phone but could not get a response, does that mean the last ping detected at Old Furnace State Park and Cucumber Hill Road was likely the text he sent?

Confusing :thinking:

Wow. I don't know what to think, really. A guy takes off from his house and then texts that he crashed and his leg hurts, and now he's poof, gone, AND they aren't just SAR, but there is a crime unit involved as well. How many people have enemies at 18? Do they think somebody ran him off of the road or something? Somebody else sent the text? This is confusing. Would a crime unit be involved if they thought a person was just lost?

His home is between Cucumber Hill Road and the state park. The last pings could have come from his house.

Maybe they are just using all the resources they have to search for him.
