I'm looking at Case #5 on this chart for Charles LaForest. Matching age frame, race and broken right leg bone. I can't find #5 John Doe or George in the Doe Network.

(Thanks again Picture-Snatcher for finding this chart)

Details of Disappearance​

LaForest was last seen on April 21, 2006 in the vicinity of Indian Lake in the Adirondack Mountains in New York. He has never been heard from again. He was reported missing on April 25 after he did not report to work and missed a scheduled meeting.

LaForest's truck was found in the parking area by the Cedar River, which is popular with swimmers and fishermen, after his disappearance. He is an avid outdoorsman and was very familiar with the area.

LaForest's cellular phone, his wallet and credit cards, his debit card, several packs of cigarettes and a partially used can of worms was found inside his vehicle. An extensive search of the surrounding terrain turned up no indications of his whereabouts, however.

At the time of his disappearance, LaForest resided in Stillwater, New York. His case remains unsolved.

<<George Laforest loved to fish and knew the area well . It was a gorgeous spring day , a sunny friday and 45 year old George headed out with his fishing gear , winston cigarettes ( he was reported to be a heavy smoker ) and a can of worms . It should have been the perfect afternoon . George had reportedly planned to go fishing with a neighbor but something had come up and the neighbor had to cancel but the day was so nice that George decided to go anyway . It was reported that George had been seen at the little grey camp on the cedar river in the Adirondack mountains of new york . It was an area he knew and loved .( His family had had a seasonal home in the area ) That would be the last time anyone had seen or heard from George .

On april 25 , 2006 George failed to show up for work and was then reported missing . A search began .Forest Rangers and Family members would find his truck in a parking area by the Cedar River off Pelon Road , where there is a popular swimming hole that George knew well . LaForest's cell phone, wallet , credit cards, debit card, several packs of cigarettes and a partially used can of worms were found inside his vehicle. An extensive search of the surrounding terrain turned up no indications of George's wherabouts or where he had gone . It was noted that not even a cigarette butt had been found . The search streched over 3 weeks and dive teams searched the swimming hole , river and nearby lake , like the land searches it turned up nothing .>>

<<Strangely the following october a tarp camp had been found in the woods that contained a pile of books . George had been known to love books but it is unclear if the authorities had ever been able to link this make shift camp to George .>>
