Deaths of Male College Students-General Discussion #5

[Blink34]

Sadly Andrew's body has been found http://preview.stltoday.com/stltoda...205BF779486E5644862574A2000F4C13?OpenDocument

Prayers to Andy's family, thanks for updating. I am feeling that we should keep an eye on the developments here at least for now. Anyone local know any reason why they would dump him at a church?

Here is an update on KSTP:

Basically it says another congressman has petitioned the FBI to look at this case. It also states that they have ruled Tommy Booth's death as "undetermined".

Another "insightful" article from KSTP:

While there is disagreement about what happens to the men, we do know that these drownings continue to happen. Now that it is fall, parents of the young men who have drowned, tell me they fear that the pattern will begin again. There are ways to keep your sons and brothers safe. It's pretty simple---drink responsibly and don't leave bars or house parties alone.


I do have to say it will be interesting to see if this pattern will begin again. I haven't really heard of any new drownings for awhile.

This probably doesn't have anything to do with the other cases, but I felt I should mention it:

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The body of an 18-year-old drowning victim was pulled from Lake Fort Gibson on Sunday morning.

Troopers said the teen went for a walk on Saturday and didn’t return.

His family and troopers went searching for him and found his clothes, keys and a cell phone near the edge of a cover.

I would like to make a suggestion . I am wondering if a thread of people who are missing ,could be posted by the year. Right now you can only search people by state and it gets confusing because some of the missing are from other states than where they are found or even where they went missing.

Example : 2008 : 5/14/08 19 year old Brandon Swanson of Marshall,MN

That would be cool if we could get a chronological list. I thought i saw one somewhere; can't remember; senior moments..

Nothing has been reported of any college students being found drown. I am so glad it has stopped for now. I was also waiting for the big announcement in October but all I could find is this link: http://kstp.com/article/stories/S619711.shtml?cat=5

I will keep checking back with hope.

This is maybe something to keep an eye on,but it may also prove to be unrelated.

There is a thread for this story now which has been opened. The Lincoln area is within a few hours drive of where both Brandon Swanson of Minnesota and also Ben Roseland from Iowa went missing.

The Nebraska man found in Lincoln Parks appears to be an unfortunate accident. I found another news article about another drown young man.http://www.wwmt.com/articles/lake_1354552___article.html/body_coldwater.html

Cherish, I just read that the Lincoln Park man did not die of natural causes.
Do you know how to find out which is right? Why can't the news get the story straight?:banghead:

 

[Cherish]

I read a few articles about the situation and I made huge assumptions. One article states that the area the boys were in was heavily wooded and only accessible by foot.I also read that there were steep gullies. I just thought it sounded as though the boys were drinking and it was dark and maybe this boy possibly stumbled off an embankment or tumbled and hit his head either before he hit the water or after he fell into the water. I again assumed he had a head wound or something that would be stated as "unnatural causes". The articles didn't state he drown by natural causes.
http://www.wowt.com/news/headlines/...a.tv/Global/story.asp?S=9212813&nav=menu605_2
I think also the fact that the body was found in the general area of where the boys were, makes me think it was there the entire length of the month he went missing. It's still a little eerie to me.

Sorry - I posted this in the last thread by accident too.

I came across this article today. Very intriguing. Goes into depth about a gang called Dealers of Death and the relation to these drownings.
