IL IL - Lee Cutler, 18, Buffalo Grove, Oct 2007

[Indy Gal]

Last night on nancy grace the guy(cant remember who, said it would take about 10-15 advil pms to commit suicide. My question that bothers me is if he did kill his self, where is his body?

Just because the bottle was for AdvilPM doesn't mean that he didn't have some other kind of pills in the bottle too. I would think it would be fairly common to find someone with illicit drugs hiding it in an over-the-counter pill container. Could be anything.I think that if he had really just wanted to kill himself they would have found his body by now. My bet is that he wanted to go missing and staged the "suicide/struggle" scenerios thinking it would buy him time to disappear. Maybe he hopes that when they don't find him they will just assume he is dead and quit looking.Susan

Based on the drug bottle and the letters to loved ones and all of his stuff they found in the river this looks like a possible suicide.

He had a lot to live for at only 18. If this is what happened....WHY???

There has been some confusion here due to a incorrect sentence in a news article.
There was NO sign of a struggle at the car.

 

[Indy Gal]

And to add to that landon, they said there were NO footprints going from the car either...

 

[Indy Gal]

No new news. I just have a feeling this is not going to turn out good. This poor family, I saw the mom begging her son to come home. She kept saying over and over how much he is loved and missed.

Yes I did also. Very, very sad, especially right here at the holidays.

A dive team from the Sauk County (Wis.) Sheriff's Department found a pair of tan slacks containing missing Buffalo Grove teen Lee S. Cutler's wallet and car keys Friday afternoon.

The wallet contained identification and cash, police said.

The pants were hanging from a tree branch partially submerged in the Baraboo River, the department said in a release. Cutler's pants, wallet and car keys were found about 250 yards downstream from where his backpack was spotted on Oct. 22.

Officials said the river's water level has been falling, making the pants visible.

Search teams continued to search that area over the weekend with no further discoveries, officials said Monday morning.

Cutler is a senior at Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire and an employee of Rock America in Vernon Hills.

Because the vehicle was found near the river in Wisconsin then this means they have just stopped looking for him! There is no evidence that he went back to Illinois so it looks like they've just given up on him!

Considering all the evidence shows he has got to be near that river in Wisconsin why would they turn it back to Illinois police??

And this looks like a suicide but do you think they don't mention that in the media due to family concerns?

I'm not sure what is correct at this point.

This is so strange. I would have thought for sure he would have been found by now. I haven't seen much about the river on television but I wonder how fast it moves and if he could be far away by now?
