    Thank you for your work. I keep hoping one day I will be able to help. I wonder if you could verify the age of the victim. You are prob just over worked ! Peace.

      I wonder about the part about where his vehicle was found at the University of Iowa Hydraulic Lab, storage lot. It sounds suspicious, but he might work there or was attending classes at the university.

      There is no explanation of where he was last seen. There is no mention of family or friends in his case. We are left to speculate instead of using the necessary tools to find him.
