Okay, I have to ask because it's been bothering me a bit, the more I think about the Samuel Sherman case, the more I begin to wonder- is there any actual proof that this guy even existed? I simply REFUSE to believe that someone the same age as Jason and in the same neighborhood disappears only a month later (while Jason's case was still hot) and it gets absolutely NO media attention. Unless law enforcement really is incompetent, there should have been more follow-up on him to some degree:
Who called him in missing? Shouldn't the cops at least have known that? Surely they had to have talked to someone
If they did talk to someone, could they have not gotten any more info? Did this person just let some total stranger stay with them?
Did they not check with any businesses to ask who recently interviewed a Samuel Sherman? They might have still had a resume on file with information on it.
It's odd just how similar Sherman's case is to Jason's. Both 19, same neighborhood, both involved with potential new work, gone within a month of each other, and heck even the initials JJ and SS. To me personally, this seems like either 1) Someone maybe called in a missing person named Samuel Sherman as a joke to ride the coattails of Jason's case because it was pretty famous (even using details similar to Jason's case) and obtain notoriety as a prank, or 2) Maybe someone involved or not tried to report a fake missing person in an effort to distract LE from Jason's case or to delay them by sending them on a goose chase.
Not exactly sure how this Samuel Sherman case even picked up steam at all, but again if someone reported it then there would have been a point to start on. There isn't even a solid address. If you type 3600 Bedford Ave into Google maps it shows a park. I know that they said he was staying on "that block" somewhere, but it's almost like they just needed a basic address to use as a general area so they used the one of the park. Perhaps someone just anonymously posted a missing report online and gave all fake details. Did the cops maybe know it was fake and that's why they didn't pursue it? I do feel bad if this kid is real and nobody cares to look for him, but so many things about his case seems fake the more I think about it.
