Making maps for hunters, they aren't great but they are something. Ladysmith.

Submitted to Doe Network. I plan to follow up next month with the PD about a photo I sent them from the article.

A whole lot more to the story according to this article in the Waukesha County Freeman dated 12/13/80. This article is continued and will need to locate the rest of it.

Another newspaper The Leader-Telegram reported him to be 5’8”, 200 lbs and blond hair which is different to what is reported in NamUs.

I hope your efforts will ramp us this case. Hoping for some activity.

If his car is missing too, I’m thinking he might be in a body of water. Here’s what the yellow Vega looked like.

If the brother was wrong about seeing it after the trip, I agree. But I mean, there should have been record of the car if he did.

I did an open records request of Waukesha about the car. They have no record of it turning up after the disappearance - however they told me to ask the dmv if it was registered again. After looking into it, I can’t do that because I don’t fit any of the categories of people who can request such a record. I’m going to email the LE on the case about it.

Could this case be connected to that of another Wisconsin missing person; Robert "Bob" Christian, who went missing 16 September 1977?

I would hazard a guess that they are not connected. They were three hours drive apart; three years apart. And Robert's car was found, while Timothy's car was not found. But Keiri might have a better idea due to following both cases closely.

Nah, this wasn't like Bob's case. Carrico was in the middle of nowhere with a hunting party and got bored and left. Bob was on a side of a pretty well traveled road and vanished. But interesting to consider.
