A neighbor told my Grandmother years later that he was hung in the woods.

His brother was killed by a drunk driver in 1979. In David's "paranoid" state of mind at the time he was last seen, he believed that someone was trying to kill him and that those same people killed his brother Raymond>>

RSBM
Why filed and cancelled numerous times? Did he have a history of disappearing and returning?

Those responsible for his disappearance will have to answer to God.

DNA for David's Mother, Sister and Niece are available on Ancestry, Gedmatch and FTDNA.

He has 2 living sons.

This is disturbing. So maybe David's "paranoia" was justified?! Is there any connection between the neighbor and the individual who killed David's brother? Have those woods ever been searched?
