A sad note: Gerald’s body was found in the Wabash River last night. No other details are available at the moment.

Most of my tweets are about missing people because of my experience losing a close friend (Lilly Aramburo missing from Miami, FL since 2007) I’ll definitely do my part to get his info out there. Is there a missing person flyer for him? And do you know if he’s been entered into the National Center for Missing Aduts database? Thanks for including the html to post the video. It makes it that much easier. I hope he’s found safe and gets to graduate with his class.

I’m an Indiana native (graduated from Purdue), but have lived in New Mexico for about 20 years.

If I was a cop, I’d look around college campuses for a missing student. Assuming that the Terre Haute area has been searched and that here haven’t been any prison breaks from the nearby penitentiaries, consider that college students often go to other campuses to visit friends and party (I certainly did, years ago). The campuses in Bloomington, Lafayette, and Indianapolis are not that far away, and the Champaign-Urbana campus in Illinois is relatively close. There are other small campuses like DePauw nearby.

Hope this helps.
