cobalt923 is right on the mark. The best hope we can offer Josh’s family is to view this tragedy with a clear eye and to find closure by redoubling our efforts to bring Josh’s abductor to justice. As cobalt rightly notes, this lowlife has escaped detection in part because of his ability to keep his trap shut. No need here for media attention and publicity like Wichita’s BTK. In addition, this piece of human scum has a good camouflage and blends into the community in a way that almost no one would suspect him of a crime of unthinkable depravity. As cobalt says, to achieve success our focus should be less on finding Josh and more on ''looking for people who saw or heard things on the night of the abduction but are afraid to come forward.'' So, where’s the guy behind the dumpster next to Seton who saw Josh walk past from Metten in the direction of the culvert? And what about the group of students who saw Josh cross the culvert toward the intersection at the campus entrance headed back in the direction of his room? Moreover, we need to hear from more students subjected to unwanted sexual advances from an older male around the time of Josh’s disappearance in fall 2002 – and in the preceding months and years for that matter. That trail will likely lead straight to the offender’s door.
