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

That is interesting, thanks for sharing. It has to be encouraging for us to know that there does seem to have been good efforts on LE's part to solve this.

The fact he doesn't take his contact lenses or coat if hes going back home is wierd. Did he just mean to step outside and come back in? Was he just going to go down the hall to someone elses place? Did he just forget?

Lots more info at this link, it seems that Joshua brought neither his contacts or glasses, nor wore appropriate clothing for the weather, so he must have been planning on a quick trip to the bathroom.
Would different dogs pick up a scent elsewhere and is it too late for them to do another search, as you suggested from the last point where Joshua's scent was tracked?
imo, speculation.

I think something disturbing is they haven't even been able to solve who had the ability to erase hundreds of emails from Josh's hard drive.

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.

Somebody studying or teaching computer sciences?

From my post on another thread concerning a student, Kristin Smart, who has been missing for 20 years and how dogs have been brought in to the school area to search for her remains now.
Can this be done for Joshua too?

If those dogs can detect scent from that long ago, it gives hope for other cold cases, imo.

“We’re not sure where this is going to take us,” San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson told a press conference near the excavation site. “Obviously, we want to be optimistic as possible and we hope that this leads us to either Kristin or evidence of Kristin.”


The site in hilly terrain next to a campus parking lot was one of several identified in January by dogs specially trained in detecting the scent of very old human remains.

The location was disclosed because of its high visibility but the other sites were being kept secret because “we do not want to tip our hat to the possible suspect or suspects out there,” Parkinson said.
“We have developed this lead over the past couple of years and have been working on it,” Parkinson said. “This lead was determined, or developed, after a comprehensive review of the entire case.”

AND WHY did Stearns County tell the family there was nothing of importance on Josh's computer? It took channel 9 news crew and a computer forensics person to figure out who logged on to Josh's computer and told the family how many files and emails were deleted.

and why didn't they interview the monks on campus and the roommates ASAP? One roommate was able to move to another country. Another moved in with the party host (the one who had the party Josh last attended).

What does LE do with this case today? Is it in a drawer?

ELOC found the documents that helped to find Jacob . Could he look for Josh ?

 

[Jbrown324320]

maybe. I have a feeling those documents are locked up in secret files in the Abbey.

I think the first thing is digging in and finding the person that deleted over 200 emails from josh's hard drive when they began searching for him.

Joshua referenced in this article yesterday.
Hoping that everyone encouraged by the arrest in Jacob's murder, will turn attention toward finding out what happened to Joshua, and to find him now.

Law enforcement officials made Minnesota proud with their perseverance. Stearns County officials kept working the case, taking advantage of new technology such as DNA testing to pursue leads. Kendall astutely called in the U.S. attorney’s office when a search found that Heinrich possessed child . The longer federal sentence for this crime, and the expertise of a special team Luger launched to handle big, difficult cases, played pivotal roles in finding Jacob.

Their work should inspire and inform other law enforcement agencies across the nation. There are thousands of unsolved abductions. In Minnesota, that includes Josh Guimond, a college student who went missing in 2002, and LeeAnna Warner, a Chisholm 5-year-old who disappeared in 2003. Like Jacob, they are not forgotten. Their families deserve answers, too.

We need Eloc. I don't know how to do it. All I am is a person in my garage talking.

I am pretty sure I have a name in my notes which was released in the family's website. I can try to contact this person again. Not many people I have contacted want to talk. Well, none.

If the person hasn't been cleared I would officially declare our first POI then.

 

[Jbrown324320]

we can't officially name anyone a POI as we are not law enforcement. but LE should have questioned him on why he did that. I don't know if they did because he wasn't a roommate and LE didn't know he deleted files as they didn't look at the computer.

I feel Josh's civil rights have been violated if this non roomate hasn't been cleared yet.

 

[Jbrown324320]

I think his civil rights were violated when he was kidnapped, sas. I believe the family's rights to a fair investigation and their right to believe their child was safe living on a University campus were violated. I encouraged them to sue. I do not know if they took my advice.

Wonder if it was the fear of getting sued that made some less than helpful? speculation.

 

[Sasquatch321]

Someone knows about this case. The right people haven't been talked to or interrogated properly imho.
