Did he hitch a ride with the "wrong" person? Did he run off with a buddy or a girlfriend? 8:35am is in broad daylight -- seems to me, it would be difficult to pick up someone against his will, or to accost someone and hurt him if he didn't comply with whatever. If he fell ill, and wandered around and fell on the ground somewhere, wouldn't he have been noticed by now? He was in a residential area. Attacked at the bus stop -- in bright sunshine?

I'll bet his fingerprints aren't even on file (and why would they be?) -- in case he or his body is found somewhere, or to trace where he might have gone or been taken. Weird and scary.

But maybe it will end okay -- maybe he just took a walk-about.

I thought I'd take a look at the "Find" FB page, and it was gone. I was so hopeful. Then I did a google search, and I was so upset. Then as I was posting the info, I refreshed the page and saw that @GuyfromCanada had just posted the info. This is just so, so sad. I was so hoping @siliconrod was correct, and that Jack would be home soon. He was way too young to lose his life. RIP Jack.

This is so sad.

Oh, my, how sad. Maybe he had asthma and had a bad episode. Perhaps a heart or liver defect that had not been detected or some weird virus. Whatever, that smiling, handsome young man is gone. No one who loved him will ever be the same. Ever.

Rest in Peace, young Jack, and strength and love to his family and friends.

According to the Scotts Valley Police Department on Facebook, 15-year-old Jack DeBord was last seen on video in his neighborhood. The video shows Jack as he headed towards a bus stop on Mt. Hermon Road to go to work in Santa Cruz.

It appears that Jack was going about his normal routine and then tragedy struck very quickly.
Is this a case of self harm or some kind of accident. I hope answers are forth coming.
I was not expecting this. RIP Jack,

Far too young to die. Rest in peace, Jack. Condolences to his family and friends.

Nor was I expecting this -- it could be that he saw something, went to see whatever, and took a very bad fall. Maybe he was hit by a car -- hit and run. I'm hoping for answers, too.
Just a tragic loss.
