Bumping for Travis.

17 years...

Bumping case.

Bumping up again. What happened to this young man? It's sad that it's unlikely to be solved if he disappeared in a rural desert area.

I wonder if they have DNA on file for comparisons and hope his case had the attention it deserved back in 1997.

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

I grew up in that area. I think Robert Fry knows what happened to Travis. Robert Fry was a very active serial killer.

Bumping up one more time. It's sad that he didn't receive justice.

There is little information about him and as you say, he will never receive justice, so many years have passed...
rest in peace

I wonder what the circumstances of his disappearance are...

These cases are just the worst. He was only 18 and his parents have never had answers. I just really feel for them. They know he crossed paths with someone evil but...no justice.

Thanks for the article snippet, @Atombudd.
