MN MN - Joshua Guimond, 20, Collegeville, 9 Nov 2002

[chaplain1]

The body issue here is just strange.

 

[chaplain1]

Anybody heard of developments?

 

[ThePhantom]

chaplain1, Dr. Immelman was referring I'm fairly sure to BW, monk at St. John's

 

[chaplain1]

Bumping for JG and his family, could have easily been me

Bumping for Joshua, with this video of a Canadian family who faced similar obstacles, when their loved one, student Theresa Allore, went missing from college.

Hard to have a breakthrough when the same players keep playing this case -- year 12 -- nothing. Thank God it's not my kid, right?

Today on the way back from Albany I took a drive through St. Johns, now knowing the path Josh had walked back to his dorm. With me was my six year old son, 12 year old daughter, and another 12 year old friend of hers. I brought up the fact that in 2002 that a student vanished here and noone knows what happened. With bodies of water surrounding us, my daughter says He's probably in the lake, followed by a comment from her friend Yeah he probably fell into the water. My instincts about the water, the circumstances that he was drinking and without his glasses that night, seem to make this a first thought. I then saw how he would have crossed a bridge to get where he was going. I know the bodies of water were searched professionally, but if this were my deal, I'd search it again.

I think investigators need to re-interview the roommates and the priest who was in charge of his dorm. See if they remember anything about that night.

 

[CanManEh]

I thought josh was the young man that went missing from his college/university at night and then after a while there were reports that you could see him under the ice but it was to dangerious to retrieve the object that they believed was him untill the ice has broken up a bit and when finally it did break up it turned out that yes it was his body they could see and they chaulked it up to him simply falling through the ice..but i guess that was a different case all together,,

 

[dotr]

What will it take for someone to go in with cadaver dogs to look for Joshua?
The whole town should tear itself up to find the popular missing young man, imo.
Wondering if anyone was ( legitimately) buried near school grounds at the time Joshua went missing?


Still hoping that he might be alive out there somewhere, not realistic, but stranger things have happened.

 

[Jbrown324320]

this one may be difficult. St Johns has a bunch of secrets on that campus. A local citizen said their incinerator was used on an off day. The people in charge of the incinerator and in charge of the gardens at the time of his disappearance were proven to have sexual relationships with students. No one at SJU really seems to care that he is gone.

Each and every priest and monk on campus during Josh's disappearance can be accounted for. Have they all been investigated? Are these priests that are accused of open sexual relationships with students suddenly committing a kidnapping and quite possibly murder?

 

[Jbrown324320]

how do you know they were all accounted for Sasquatch? They are known for taking trips to the cities to go to gay bars, going off campus at all hours of the day around town. And those are the ones on restriction.
They have made JG "disappear" and other deaths look like accidents.

 

[leilarose68]

Was Josh religious?

 

[leilarose68]

People who have been following this case intensely for awhile... what is your main theory?

 

[Jbrown324320]

leilarose, nothing in my research tells me Josh was religious. He liked debate and wanted to be a republican senator.
my theory is that he was researching sexual abuse within the Catholic Church for a research paper. He got in too deep or uncovered an embezzeling scheme and someone employed there or with the Church made him disappear. Then they killed BW.
All my opinion of course. I have been looking at the case off and on for a few years.

 

[ThePhantom]

Since it's very possible the perpetrator of Josh's disappearance is now dead, I think Stearns may feel more confident than ever that his case can sit silently in the books, to be forever marked "Unsolved." St. John's vault of dirty secrets is safe in Stearns. Jeffrey Anderson may have scraped the tip of the iceberg, but they'll never give him the key to the abbey's secret safe sacredly stored in its inner sanctum. May God help them for what they have knowingly done.

 

[Jbrown324320]

I don't think Stearns County wants this case solved for some reason.

 

[human]

I don't think Stearns County wants this case solved for some reason.

What would the reason be? The Catholic church continues to.be under attack almost daily.
