James Egan

James “Colin” Egan, property 18, was past heard from erstwhile helium contacted his household connected August 6, 1972.

He was successful San Francisco, California astatine the time, and said helium was going to hitchhike to Denver, Colorado, wherever helium would get a formation backmost location to Mequon, Wisconsin wrong the week.  He was ne'er heard from again.

Colin’s father, James Egan, was politician of Mequon, Wisconsin.  He passed distant successful 1999; Colin is mentioned successful his obituary arsenic having preceded him successful death.

I americium funny arsenic to however agelong helium had been successful San Francisco erstwhile helium past contacted his family.  Was helium exploring the country, arsenic galore teens conscionable retired of precocious schoolhouse tended to do? Or did helium cognize radical determination that helium was visiting?

If helium intended to alert from Denver backmost to Wisconsin, helium indispensable person had immoderate money, which makes maine wonderment wherefore helium didn’t get a formation retired of San Francisco.  I’d conjecture helium either had a circumstantial crushed for traveling to Denver, oregon helium was enjoying conscionable roaming astir and experiencing the antithetic regions.

I’m not definite if helium was reported missing close away, oregon if immoderate probe was ever done successful his case, but this is different unfortunate illustration of the investigating bureau (Mequon Police Department) being obscurity adjacent wherever the missing idiosyncratic was past known to be.  It wouldn’t astonishment maine astatine each if San Francisco authorities aren’t adjacent alert that he’s missing from their city. Mequon, Wisconsin is simply a beauteous tiny town; the lone crushed I had adjacent heard of it was that sixteen twelvemonth aged Orin Anderson disappeared from determination a twelvemonth aft James disappeared.  Like successful James’ disappearance, there’s nary accusation disposable astir Orin.

I deliberation the astir apt mentation is that thing happened to him portion hitchhiking, but I don’t truly deliberation immoderate possibilities tin beryllium ruled retired without formation records having been checked.

I americium hopeful that idiosyncratic from Mequon, oregon idiosyncratic who was successful San Francisco successful the aboriginal 1970’s mightiness person immoderate representation of James.
