The day after Josh Stratton, 24, was last seen, friend Dan Tierney came to visit in Alvo, Nebraska and says he found the back door open but Josh nowhere inside. Tierney recalls, “The milk outside of the refrigerator. Josh was a pretty big fanatic about chocolate milk and it’s not like him to leave that out and spoil.”

According to a Cass County Sheriff’s bulletin, on July 2nd last year Josh was reported missing and disappeared June 23rd nine days earlier. The alert states family took Josh for groceries and dropped him off at home the day he went missing. Josh’s father, Gregg Stratton, who lives a few miles away is the registered owner of the house. Grandfather Dick Wilson, a former lawman, himself believes Josh’s disappearance is suspicious.

Wilson said, “He didn’t go three or four days without contacting somebody. Plus we were his source as far as money. ”

Josh Stratton suffered from schizophrenia and walked places but family insists he wouldn’t walk away.
