Hello!
Glad I got the verification process sorted, so onto the questions.
You can go ahead and rule out the LeBlanc name, I received info on that and he isn't involved in Colin the way you might think.
I have asked about the ID and paraphernalia being fingerprinted and to my knowledge they never were. Something about being a party and having too many fingerprints to be of any use in the case was the excuse I was fed, and I don't agree with it. The fingerprinting process could've been a great source of information.
I don't disagree with more exposure for the case. I think the more the better, with the exception of the rumor mill getting out of hand.
Colin didn't have a license, it was his college ID that he was carrying, so I have no idea how he carried it, I would assume it was loose as he didn't normally carry a wallet to my recollection.
Colin, like I mentioned before, had a short fuse. It wasn't uncommon for him to get into alterations at parties, (not necessarily physical), but it wasn't just him and another person, multiple parties were in alterations, but there were hard drugs at the party so there's no surprise there.
Colin arrived via car with a group of friends who left the party without him, which he was aware of. People claim that he had a ride coming, but I don't believe he ever mentioned who it was.
Colin made 5 calls, some repeated. Included in those calls were close friends and PM (who is a Saranac Lake local) who has been a righteous pain in the butt for this case.
Foul play is not out of the question in my opinion. I don't make any assumptions in the case however. I like to leave every possibility on the table, but one thing for sure I think we can discern is he got into a vehicle either willingly or not. As far as being hit by a vehicle that seems highly unlikely based on the fact that there was no indications in the snow fall that there was any sort of traffic incidents (tracks off the road, skid marks, blood, body imprints, multiple foot prints, etc.)
I'm omitting the names of close friends out of fairness to them. They're not just friends of Colin they're close friends of the family, and their names don't deserve to be here.
I'd love to see the video I made get more publicity because I think it speaks in volumes to my families struggles and how we remember him, more so than an article could provide.
Again thank you all for your input and your efforts, it certainly hasn't gone unnoticed. Hopefully my answers help!

Ian,
Thank you so much for becoming verified! Just a few more questions, though I understand if you are unable to answer them.
I remember when that NYT article came out, I thought 'what great exposure, this will crack the case wide open' but yet, here we are. I emailed the writer of that article after it came out, in hopes that he would look at this thread and perhaps do a follow up story but I never heard back. Which leads me to this...I personally think it would be beneficial to get main stream media interested in this case again. Would you concur?
O'kay, back to the night he went missing. What is the minutia we are missing?
How did Colin usually carry his license? Did he have a wallet or did he just keep it loose in his pocket?
Do you know what the fight at the party was about? Are you allowed to say?
How did Colin arrive at the party, and with whom.
You mentioned that Colin made several phone calls that night. Were they all local to the Tupper Lake friend group?
You also mention more than one car stopped to offer Colin a ride. So, more than just AT who stopped 2 times?
-Is it safe to say that Colin was waiting for a specifically pre-arranged person to give him a ride and that is why
he didn't accept these other rides?
Again, thank you Ian for coming here, please let us know what we can do to help!
