All - Not sure why I am drumming this up except for I came across it lately on the internet and I did not know about it before now.

This is basically related to 2 deaths in Ames, one in 2005 and one in 2007.

I remember the deaths but never linked them together in any way until now. This has somewhat of a cult following with families involved and internet sleuths dying for answers.

I want to be sensitive, but I also think this deserves some publicity as there are others around MN and WI that think so also...

Anyone have more info on this or ever hear of this?

So this is from the last link:

Since 1997, there have been at least 112 cases of missing young men who were described as intelligent, athletic, well liked, and "not the type to disappear." Almost all had been drinking or around alcohol when they became disoriented, separated from their friends, and seemingly vanished into thin air. It is my intention only to raise awareness for the missing and promote discussion of these cases.
SHOCKING!
