What happened to Bobby Bizup? Questions remain decades
after boy disappeared from Catholic summer camp (9news.com)
...
It occurred on a Friday in August 1958 – the last week the camp was open that summer.
...
It made perfect sense that Bobby Bizup, 10, would be out along the stream, carrying an old ice cream carton full of worms and his fishing rod.
Eventually, a counselor named Terry Cowan let Bobby know he needed to gather up his things and head back to the main lodge.
“I pointed at my watch at 6 p.m. to remind him it was nearly time for supper,” the Denver Post quoted Cowan as saying. “He nodded that he understood.”
Almost completely deaf since birth, Bobby wore a hearing aid but couldn’t make out many sounds. He also had trouble speaking, relying on sign language and lip-reading to communicate. If he was flustered or upset, even that could be difficult.
Within an hour of that counselor's message, Bobby would be unaccounted for, the subject of an intensifying search in the woods around the camp operated by the Archdiocese of Denver.
A search that would prove fruitless – and a disappearance that would yield no answers for nearly a year.
...
On July 3, 1959, three counselors led a group of boys west from the camp along Cabin Creek, crossed the boundary into Rocky Mountain National Park, and climbed high up the eastern face of Mount Meeker.
They were around 11,000 feet in elevation, in a place where the trees give way to the rocky scree of the mountain’s upper reaches and Camp St. Malo is clearly visible in the valley below, when Hewitt caught sight of a torn piece of clothing.
That led to the discovery of a bone.
A doctor later concluded the bone was that of a young boy. The remains of Bobby Bizup, it appeared, had been found.
...
By then, there wasn’t much of a question of what happened.
Bobby went fishing along the creek. Bobby failed to return to the lodge for supper and wandered off. Bobby got lost and couldn’t find his way back to camp.
More than six decades later, however, a new question has emerged: Is that the complete story of the disappearance of Bobby Bizup?
....
Long and fascinating report at the link: was a pedophile priest responsible for the youngster's disappearance and death? Not to be missed.
