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:

On July 23, a body believed to be Oberg was found at a clandestine grave at that location.
Killed by shooting, stabbing and cutting.
Thats what police say happened to 29-year-old Joshua Oberg after a Buckhannon man allegedly paid for his murder.

Nice little background story. Mentions this case at the end.
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.)
