WV WV - Luke Stout, 24, Buckhannon, 18 July 2012

I can see how the family thinks the murder and disappearance are related.
 
Wow Surfie, I feel like Im a volkswagon and your a porsche getting that info so fast,

I'm really confused right now lol

Good job!
 
Wowza. RUMOR ALERT: Apparently, the guy who was arrested for accessory before the fact for Josh's murder (he hired the other 2 guys to murder Josh), Rodolpho Correa Villagomez, had a wife. It is being said that Luke had a relationship of some sort with his wife and "chino" didn't like it. This is further corroborated on Luke's facebook page on a May 2nd post.

Additionally, looks like Villagomez owned a restaurant. Guess which one. Santi's. Check out the general manager:

In the comments underneath (1:00 pm) Luke posts her X threatened him

“Killed by shooting, stabbing and cutting.”

That’s what police say happened to 29-year-old Joshua Oberg after a Buckhannon man allegedly paid for his murder.

Don't think this was posted yet...just trying to catch up as there are a lot of players in this case and it's pretty confusing. Seems likely there is a connection to Luke going missing and if LE knows it they are likely keeping the details close to the vest.
 
Villagomez' wife is a local. I suspect Luke knew her for a pretty long time (or knew of her), and he used to be a customer at Santi's. :moo:
 
Also from the link about court this week:

snipped...The third suspect, Rodolpho Villagomez, will have his preliminary hearing on Thursday.
 
I can't imagine LE not wanting any searches to happen in this case...I would like to read into that they are in fact working on it and close to cracking the case? I hope!
 
It is not OK that they are not searching for this young man! I can't get over the fact that there have been no organized searches and no apparent action on the part of LE. I, too, am hoping this means they're gathering evidence and building a case...but this family needs their son HOME!
 
Luke disappears Wednesday, July 18 between 3 and 5pm. Sometime before Monday, July 23 a tip comes in regarding a body (presumably that of Joshua Oberg, missing since January) buried in a shallow grave nearby and shortly thereafter after another person tells an undercover informant that he helped bury that body and 3 men are arrested in conjunction with that murder. Who is deep undercover? Was it Luke and is that why LE is seemingly not taking action in trying to locate this much-loved, 24-year-old young man? Pure conjecture on my behalf. JMO.

A recent article from The New Yorker regarding the use of civilian confidential informants. (I'm not saying this is related to this disappearance, but IMO interesting nonetheless.)

Good point Unscripted. Several of those articles stated that the confession was given to an undercover person. I didn't think about it at the time, but who is this person??

Oberg went missing in Jan. so it is possible that LE has had an undercover for a very, very long time.

This has crossed my mind too. LE may not be looking for him, because they know where he is. At least we can hope. :please:
