It's not even mentioned in the article so I suspect it's just a bad headline.

Possible Match:

1. Glenn Richard Hustin, Jr.

(? for ME) his entire row is highlighted on the spreadsheet (meaning we had many questions)...so where to start on him?

What about Glenn Richard Hustin Jr.?
View attachment 226899
Missing from Middleton, Michigan since Feb 2001
- 30 years old, 5’5”, 115 lbs, brown hair & eyes
- He has a couple of nicknames listed: Lenny, Glenny, Len. He was also mentally disabled.

He was scheduled to appear as a witness in an upcoming criminal case and failed to show up for work one day. The case involved his landlord/employer whom he witnessed steal some weapons and assault a child in his apartment complex.

The charges were ultimately dismissed because Glenn was the only eyewitness and apparently the meat and potatoes of the prosecution’s case. As a result and opposed to a 5 year prison sentence, the landlord was fined for a lesser charge.

Glenn’s bicycle disappeared along with him but was found at a trucking company warehouse in Ithaca a few weeks later.

According to The Charley Project, Glenn’s sister tried looking into his disappearance but felt like people were following her. At one point someone had smashed the windows of her car and her search eventually ended.

It’s over 500 miles (8 hours) between the two locations, a direct shot down I-69, but IMO the circumstances surrounding his disappearance lessen the significance of that detail. It’s stretching the PMI a little also.

ETA: And the landlord’s name is Roger Eugene Brown...so no “Louis B/Rlanco” that I saw...

*I couldn’t find a thread. You might wanna copy this over. It’s more detailed than what I started with. eta: wrong link sorry here’s the correct one:
