[Josh’s disappearance underscores the fact that men, too, are at risk.] "The abduction of [Dru Sjodin]...was sudden, and the end brutal." ... "Just yesterday, the body of a 20-year-old Julliard School student missing for a week was found in a New York City park. Sarah Fox had been missing since the day she went out for a jog and didn't return. Less than 24 hours after Brooke Wilberger was reported missing [May 25] ... Oregon State Police and the Department of Public Safety sent out a security alert to the campus community ...warning... about potential danger.
