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

[Jbrown324320]

I thought he was law enforcement but quit. He is now a politician

 

[human]

Ha ha. Ask him to do what he can to look into it. He knows the system.

"You keep doing what you can,” Brian said. “You need an unlimited bank account to get anywhere on this investigation just because of who is involved.”

Still, Brian believes St. John’s is somehow behind the disappearance."

"A mother is asking those who knew her son to take time to think about the days leading up to his disappearance.

Joshua Guimond disappeared in November, 2002, after he attended a party near St. John's University in Collegeville.

Investigators have no new leads in the case. Even the day after the 20-year-old disappeared, there was very little to follow.

His mother, Lisa Cheney, hasn't given up on the thought of finding her son.

"He was just a good kid," Cheney said".

Repost of a 2002 article.. Something very odd about all these disappearances...

"Young People Are Missing; Authorities Are Baffled
By JO THOMAS with JODI WILGOREN
Published: November 17, 2002
Joshua Guimond, 20, an honor student at St. John's University, stepped away from a card game in a campus apartment shortly after midnight last Saturday, walked down the hall, and vanished.

The campus, 75 miles northwest of Minneapolis, is so tranquil that some of the 1,850 students joke about the ''pine curtain'' that separates them from the outside world: 2,500 acres of woods and lakes. No one worried. It was not until Sunday night that Mr. Guimond's friends and roommate called the police.

Mr. Guimond was the fourth young person to disappear since Oct. 30 in Minnesota and Wisconsin in circumstances that family members say are similar. Law enforcement officials say they have not ruled out a connection, but have found no evidence of any.

Erika Marie Dalquist, 21, who worked at a telemarketing company in Brainerd, Minn., 127 miles northwest of Minneapolis, was the first to disappear. Ms. Dalquist was last seen leaving the Tropical Nites, a downtown bar popular with students from Central Lakes College, in the early morning of Oct. 30."

Dotr, this subject of your news article is why I became interested in Josh's case and other missing person's cases. Josh's case was different from the others to me. The other 3 students' bodies were found. Josh's wasn't. His roommate whitewashed his computer after he vanished. There is evil history of many of the monks living on the campus when Josh disappeared.

Wow, that is something, very strange indeed!
From the link..

"Talking via telephone from Maple Lake Nov. 18, Guimond told the Newsleader he has a theory as to what happened to his son, but he cannot prove it, saying only it was a “set-up” and that, in his opinion, it involved one or more staff members at SJU. However, Guimond declined to give specifics except for the name of someone he suspects, someone who worked on the SJU campus at that time, but he acknowledges he lacks the concrete evidence to prove his theory.

In the weeks after Joshua went missing, his father was frequently on the SJU campus, but the authorities there succeeded in getting a restraining order against him for a period of two years.

Guimond said two days after Joshua went missing, someone gained access to his computer in his dorm room and erased hundreds of emails from the machine’s hard drive. Guimond believes whoever did that knew something about his son’s abduction.

The only thing that will solve the case, Guimond told the Newsleader, is for cold-case experts to come to the Stearns County area, to ask all the right questions and to examine any and all investigative reports that have – or have not been – completed. "

Random thoughts, speculation..
Wondering what was erased from Josh's computer? Can they find out, or is it too late?
Many people have secret gay lives, even though it is totally accepted in most communities, perhaps in certain ones it is still hidden ( often in the places where it is most rampant, imo).
It seems so many young male students mysteriously disappear in the fall, understandable perhaps for students with failing grades and /or feelings of isolation, but that does not appear to be the case here, imo.
Does someone "scope out" the students, looking for a certain type, like a human sex trafficker?
Could people get paid to do that, as opposed to perp/s themselves, sort of like a "sports recruiter" but an illegal one?
Mixes with the crowd, slips something in a drink and accomplice whisks them away to a room at the school before taken elsewhere?

Might one suggest a sort of male version of the film " Eyes Wide Shut'?

The restraining order is disgusting.

What a fine young man.

One would think an institution such as St. John's would have the staff to deal with a grieving father. A restraining order makes me really look at St. john's as some kind of conspirator in some ugliness.

^^100% agree^^

 

[amber1]

I can't believe it's been well over ten years already. I hope Josh's dad blows this thing wide open! Interestingly enough, MN and WI do not have a shortage of missing college boys, or college boys who go missing and end up dead, many who are found in the river. I read a very interesting article about all these incidents, I will try to recover it and share it with you.

 

[Jbrown324320]

Josh's prefect (monk who lived in the dorm like a staff resident) was believed to have many victims and partners- male and female and is trying to cover up all abuse stories from the Abbey:

"The current pastor in Saint Joseph, Father JT, was Joshua Guimond’s faculty resident. T has been a driving force behind the abbey’s efforts to suppress information regarding misconduct at Saint John’s, including the disappearance of Joshua Guimond."

I know emails were deleted, his thesis file was missing (his paper on abuse in the Church), a program creating fake ids, and someone searched how to whitewash a computer. If you want to know more what was erased from Josh's computer, you can read this page from the family's website:

And get this! The roommate who erased stuff from Josh's computer may now work at St John's.

reposting what Phantom posted in 2010 near the beginning of the thread. I believe it is worth repeating. The monks at St Johns know who took Josh and are covering it up. The Stearns County sheriff dept is conveniently looking the other way! Shame on them! Priests and monks can commit just as much crimes as other people!

"I am not speaking as a "conspiracy theorist" when I tell you, the Guimond case is one of the biggest cases f cover up for a crime, ever. I am eager to read the book Chris Jenkins' mother wrote. She has a Facebook page too. I would like to learn more about her son. Part of me thinks there may be some kind of "ring" in Minnesota and the surrounding states -- a loose network of sadistic, fetish driven perverts who seek young men as their prey. It is possible certain monks from the abbey may have been involved in this. The sheriff, politicians and community have seriously avoided delving deeper into this case -- when pressed, they say it's an "active case;" however, I've noticed throughout the past seven years they have assiduously avoided drawing any attention to it. 95% of the work done to investigate, publicize and finance resources for Josh's case has come from his family and a small group of people resolved to get to the bottom of what happened. The old saying, "You can't fight the system," is apropo for this case -- however, someone on this websleuths has a profoundly true quote as part of their signature -- "All that evil needs to succeed is for good men to do nothing." Amen."

 

[ThePhantom]

At this point, JBrown, I think the truth about Josh's disappearance will come from a monk who develops a conscience and feels compelled to tell the truth and give the family answers, or, perhaps, one of the people possibly involved with a deviant group may for whatever reason come forward. Since LE won't help, this is the only way I can see resolution happening. But it's a twisted world when students are molestd over the course of decades and no one is ever held accountable or punished.

 

[dotr]

Somebody is going to uncover something, or someone is going to spill the beans eventually in this case, imo.
Hoping the right person, at the right time, will finally step forward to help Joshua's family, make some kind of sense of this disappearance.
Where are you Joshua?

http://www.startribune.com/opinion/commentaries/132353858.html

"It's like we're on an island in the Pacific Ocean," Joshua's grandfather said. "No one's coming to help us. No lifeboats are out there."

No family should have to endure the ordeal of a loved one gone missing. It's a cruel torture to have a family member simply disappear from the Earth. Somebody has answers".

 

[ThePhantom]

Agree dotr. Equally as cruel is the sheriffs unwillingness to help the Guimond family - ditto St. John's -- and why does St. John's get a pass for the numerous cases of sexual assault when Penn State was held accountable and sanctioned

Greetings,

I have been reading the information on the Web the past few days and have a variety of questions.

1) Was there ever an investigation? If so, were the other party goers ever checked out? The roommates?

I find the computer issues strange after his death. If he was secretive about his sex life, I would guess someone in his peer group had to have some suspicions.

2) Did he go to SJ Prep? Haven't seen the hometown. Majority of abuse happened there.

3) Any idea of level of intoxication from partygoers?

Agree the psychology monk brother looks like a helluva candidate, I just don't see signs of an investigation--it is tragic.

Did Immelman write his profile with someone in mind?
