I wonder if/how the dynamics of the community of Tupper Lake is important to this case.
IMO, Tupper is a place where everybody knows everybody...and their grandparents knew each other too. Very small town USA. That can make for a great community but could it also be that nobody wants to fess up to anything they know because then 'the whole town will know I came forward'. That could make for some problems in a small town where everyone talks. I think Colin missing is likely a very touchy subject to many folks there. I wonder if that is why so little is being/has been said on social media and why his case seems to have stalled.
I think for this case to move forward, someone needs to talk...and I think that too many in Tupper are too close to the case and it's players, and too scared. That is just my opinion.
I am not intending to pass any judgement on the citizens of that community, just saying that the tightness of the community might play against solving this.
From following the case, I myself have some opinions on who might be involved...as we have subtly discussed...but the folks I am thinking about aren't necessarily people I might want to mess with, if I had to live in a community with them. Again, 100% my opinion.
I want to know who is investigating his disappearance? Is it the Tupper Lake PD? And, if so, do they have any familial or close ties to the players in this case? That also would not/might not bode well for solving it.
I think about Colin all the time! I wonder what the fight that evening was about? I wonder if Colin's success at 'getting out of Tupper' and going to college would have made him a target for those who were not able to (for whatever reason) do the same. Jealousy, on some level? Just a thought.
For guests who may not be familiar with this case...we could really use your help!! Colin could use your help. It's a short thread, please jump in!!!
