MISSING PERSON ALERT: Austin Hudson-LaPore

UPDATE 6/19/13: The body of missing university student Austin Hudson-LaPore has been recovered from Lake Michigan today. It was spotted by a fisherman and police say it appears the deceased had been in the water for 'some time.' The cause and manner of Hudson-Lapore's death are still pending. (Original story and case details below and in the comment section.)

MISSING PERSON ALERT FOR CHICAGO ILLINOIS
 
Chicago University student Austin Hudson-LaPore, 20, has been missing since June 12, 2013 after stepping outside of his college residence that evening, presumably to observe the passing storms.
 
A severe-weather buff, the third year biochemistry major is believed to have walked a route that would take him to the nearby lake sometime between 8:30 and 10 PM.
 
He took his keys but no cellphone or wallet, and has not been seen or heard from since.
 
Concern for his welfare is mounting because, while the campus area where the youth resides in is generally considered a "very safe" neighborhood, it's also a veritable oasis surrounded by high crime districts.
 
Accordingly, foul play has not been ruled out yet in this missing person case.
 
Austin Hudson-LaPore is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 5' 7" tall and 120 pounds, with blue eyes and blond hair.
 
Anyone who saw the young man that night or knows of his current whereabouts is urged to call Chicago police detectives at (312) 747-8380.
 
You can also touch base with and lend support to his loved ones at the newly launched Find Austin facebook page. (Share this missing person alert below, and use the comment section for breaking news and case updates.)

  2. Good chance you're right, although a motorist says he almost ran over someone matching LaPore's description a few days after he first disappeared.

    This driver claims that the missing youth 'stumbled' in front of his car at Roosevelt and State (in Chicago} and was 'acting disoriented.'

    Odd case developing here -- thanks for commenting today!

  3. I dont trust some of the witnesses that come forward after these disappearances. I tend to think some may be trying to throw investigations in the wrong directions or they intentionally throw timetables off. Just my opinion of course.

  4. Do not know what to make of it. some other recent victims mirror that of past ones in some very strange ways. I do not want to encourage any copy cats so won't say more here,but can in a private conversation. maybe not everything though.

    1. OK - Here's a very recent victim found in the Hudson River (Aukshunas) 'mirroring' this subsequent drowning of Austin Hudson-LaPore...

      So you see, Tennessee, why it is I can never totally rule out your elaborate theories, even though mine is blood simple in comparison.

  5. Do you always have to point out how *you think* you know certain things that others don't? ...like you have the secret or something,but you just can't say anything. Riiiiiight. Dude get a life.

  6. I am only pointing out I am not going to say everything I know,and yes i do know more than possibly everyone else. Get a life dude.
    I know what I am doing. you are a fool

  8. I am just going to ignore him. It is not like every retard that ever thought I was wrong on the internet came around to comment about how right I was on any subject when the evidence pointed in my favor. people like this go into hiding when that happens because they never had class, brains or manners to begin with.

    1. Might be an SFK murder, but, considering the likelihood that Hudson-Lapore ventured too close to the shore that stormy night, and that Lake Michigan can be quite choppy, there is a better chance it was indeed accidental.

      However, because his neighborhood borders on several no-go zones, I covered this case thinking there was still a chance (albeit marginal) that foul play was involved.

      Since Law enforcement also sees the possibility of that element in Hudson-Lapore's disappearance and drowning, the investigation is wide open.

      Good.

  10. Here's a thought...maybe the people who devote so much time to these occurrences are responsible for the questionable disappearances.

    Better yet, maybe some sniveling fuck head at our countries data center's like to pick-and-choose, Philip K. Dick style.

    1. Me doubts VERY MUCH that Tennessee is the Smiley face Killer.

      And a 'sniveling feck' in one of America's many unsupervised data centers picking and choosing these victims... maybe yes, maybe no, but prolly not, either.

      But thanks a bunch for commenting - much appreciated.

    2. I guess you don't know too much about Blackwater Worldwide, Blackwater USA, Xe Services LLC, or Academi.

  11. If I was the killer I would be able to have a much clearer picture ,much earlier. It takes time because there are so many. Any way I think Occams razor would suggest it is an attack on The United states. I already knew to look for that day as a birthday from what looked like clues in the circumstances of the past disappearances.

    It is not like people have not vowed revenge,especially on the Bush family. If you can't get at them when your son was killed ,you do the next best thing. I intend to make a very strong case and it will take more than a couple of posts to do that or paragraphs for that matter. We are still gathering data that backs up this theory. besides we do think we can find a body to bolster this theory.
    Gannon even seemed to underestimate these probable killers. Even if they had a lack of formal education these are not stupid people doing this. Hardly anyone in LE want to admit someone is smarter they they are.

    It does in fact look like an attack based on hatred of the US government,what they consider our religion,and especially hatred of George Bush and his family.

  12. au is the symbol for gold with old being a key word here. The old george Bush was born june 12. Does the date look familiar? it is also the date they had Snell call to say he was hiding in the bushes before they killed him.

  13. A comment on the witnesses. Yes they are often suspicious. someone was even turned in for using initials of victims. You already had people like sadam smith call to say they saw suspicious activity when Anhony Skifton was missing. They find him with shorts downs and they get a report from someone saying they are a strohs truck driver. Someone calls and says they think someone is in the water cause they heard a splash and it is the very day someone goes missing from Splashes Nightclub. These are all laCrosse,wisconsin incidents. I mailed them and brought these things up. The FBI also was informed. they were informed of a lot of things that are odd and some things I never said on the internet or any where else.

  14. I have to tell a few things about Edward Potts/Tenneguy.

    1. I think we are fortunate for having people dedicated to finding the truth. It stinks people making negative comments about those that are searching for answers.

    2. His friend was ejected from a bar and they called him a cab.
    Someone shows up claiming to be a cab driver. The victim then gets shoved into what they think is a cab and is never seen alive again.

    3. It is not Edward's life ambition to be a detective. His dream job is to do cartoon voices. He is just using his natural
    abilities.

    4. That is a true friend.

  15. Austin Hudson-LaPore, a rising fourth-year student at the University of Chicago, was last seen at 8PM on Wednesday, June 12, leaving his Hyde Park apartment OK... OMG!!... and Josh Snell was reported to have been afraid and hiding in the bushes in a Park....OMG!!!! That was his last call...he was never seen again. It's too real.

  16. Has anyone been following the case of missing Valedictorian August Reiner. He is missing in Equador and was hiking with his family. He was hikng right in front of them,then just suddenly vanished without a sound.
    Now Equador police are saying there has been a sighting of August in a truck heading towards the Amazon. They believe it was an abduction.
