Thing is you never know who the person behind the screen on the other line is. Online Dating always has a shady taste to itself, and I think foul play could be involved. To me personally it makes sense that Josh just left the party without saying anything because he was about to DO something unusual, something none of his friends would expect from him and something that he did not wanted to share with anyone. Possible that he met the wrong person.

But I still wouldnt rule out the "accident"-theory entirely. There are just too many lakes and vast acres of forest on the campus and even with all the searching efforts everyone made, it is still possible that his remains are lying there at somewhere...

Welcome to Ws @ German Fellow! My hope too is that Joshua is somewhere around the campus.

According to the Simply Vanished podcast, his Uncle, who was staying in his room on campus during the days of the initial search apparently used the PC for his personal use and has admitted using the “Wash” application. He was pretty vague of what he removed; playing down the possibility that anything he deleted was material to Josh’s disappearance. He probably “ washed” a lot of what he would consider embarrassing including anything of a sexual nature.
Although I personally believe he did do it, Uncle Paul did NOT admit to using the washer program on the Simply Vanished podcast. He admitted to using email and doing internet searches however.

True Crime All The Time Podcast just released an episode about Josh's disappearance.
I like those two guys - they are among my favorites, but on this episode they strayed too far into the Smiley Face killers IMO. They could have focused more on the recently revealed online chats.

Although it's very sad Josh is still not found I think it's weird to through out this pictures into the public, just like that. This men are now 20 years older to begin with, some of them are maybe not openly gay. What is the source of this pictures? Some of them look to be profile pictures (maybe even fake ones), other's look like cam/screen shots. And to add. The most frustrating thing of putting pictures out there in relation to a case, LE almost never gives a good update of who they identified, f.i. pictures found in the possession of serial killers and they will be circulating and popping up for years and years to come.
I have just watched the Unsolved Mysteries episode and they said that Josh was posing as a woman in the chats. It seemed to imply this was from the dating chats, so these guys may not have been gay, but could have been straight guys thinking they were talking to a woman. I might have got the wrong end of the stick though ? Did anyone else interpret it the same way ?
Edited by me to correct the programme I watched.

I think it's a very interesting line of thinking and totally possible. Never looked at it that way. Maybe somebody found out he wasn't real. Can't help wondering why he did it...posing as a woman?

I now watched the Unsolved Mysteries episode about Josh and came here to follow up. The roommate gave me an off-vibe from the start, but and when hearing about the detectives later finding the Yahoo personal discussions from Josh’s computer, it reminded me of him saying in the beginning that the first thing he did when Josh wasn’t home was check his AOL messenger time. I suppose that’s no different than people checking FB Messenger or Instagram to see if someone has been online (aka alive) after not being heard from. I truly hope they have progress soon. I feel as though he must have been in the water and trapped by branches or debris. Such a sad story without closure.
