We are still here ... just at a loss for ideas on Colin Gillis. The questions that go through my mind I don't feel I can ask. I realize that there is an active investigation going on and trust that just because nothing new is being reported in the media does not mean LE doesn't have scenarios & possible suspect(s) ... I just hate being patient!
I re - read news articles about Israel Keyes and how they feel confident he was not in the area when Colin went missing. So strange how many very similar disappearances there are around the country. Young likeable guys at parties/bars late night/early AM, fights, leaving on foot alone then never seen again. It's crazy & I don't want to give in to 'serial killer theories' but come on, really?! That many unexplained disappearances with similar circumstances? It's just hard to believe.
I wonder if it's ever come out about what the fight(s) were really about? How mixed of a group was this party? Were there only kids (say 16-25, all single?) or were older people there? People from the local community only or some non-locals? What was the purpose of the 'party' - was it planned or impromptu (as in B-day party vs. hey, a few of us will be back in town this weekend - let's get together at So-and-So's house)? Just the way my mind wanders ... sorry if I'm repeating thoughts from earlier posts.
There you are! Welcome back! Please ask the questions, you may ask the question that leads to bringing Colin home. Patti will answer the questions if she can so please ask away!
I'm impatient as well as you can tell by all my posts on Colin's thread lol!
Israel Keyes - a true sicko! I am hoping that the FBI has the info right on him, that he was no where near Tupper Lake when Colin went missing.
I think Colin was disappeared by someone he knew or someone he had just met. BUT, I'm with you about the strange disappearances of so many young men! Colin is not a small guy, he's 6'1" and 170 pounds, lean but strong, he wouldn't have been taken without a fight on his part and I think that's why his ID was found on the road, it fell out during a struggle.
The party had some "older" attendees, older than Colin's regular crowd, and many I think that he and others didn't know. I don't know the exact nature of the party but I think it was a "Hey we're in town, let's all get together somewhere." type of party, maybe the older (mid to late 20's people) showed up uninvited? I need to ask that question?! Thanks SunsetGirl!
I sure wish we knew what the fight was about, LE must know because they have interviewed, and re-interviewed, at least 30 people from the party so someone, I hope, would have shared what/who started the fight! It seems that there are people out there who saw Colin during or after the party that haven't come forward, the police know this (as there were over 40 people at the party and seemingly only 30 have been interviewed if I'm reading things correctly) and probably have the names of these people and are trying to give them the chance to do the right thing, if they are reading, I urge them to do the right thing, please!
"Along with those searches, the investigation has also focused on the people who would have interacted with Colin during the early morning hours on March 11, 2012 and have not reported that contact with the State Police.
The New York State Police would like information about or hope to speak to that person or persons.
Anyone who may have information about someone who witnessed Colin Gillis or interacted with him on State Route 3 to contact the State Police BCI Unit in Ray Brook at 518-897-2000.
State Police want to remind citizens not to assume that the information has already been provided to Investigators if they have not personally reported it. All information will be kept confidential. "

SunsetGirl, can you ask ForesterJake to add the stop of Lincoln Avenue to his map and re-post here? They stopped there prior to arriving at the party.
Thanks in advance and please ask any questions you may have.
