Last update I found was this 5 day search completed posted the 12th of June.Will check again the next couple of days. Doesn't seem to be much info available to public, not very hopeful that will change. Will pray and keep looking I guess...
It looks like he may have been interrupted in preparing either to set up a campsite or to cover his car. Are there bears or other wildlife that could have attacked and carried Samantha away and he followed to try and save her? Is this area more wild than settled?
I’m still surprised I haven’t seen a grassroots effort on Facebook spreading the word. This is the first I’ve see of the case.Appleton, where he is from, is in Outagamie County which is notorious for not providing information on their MP cases. I think Oconto is the lead agency here but that’s another county who doesn’t really do a lot of publicity because of the lack of a major media market. We saw this last week with that case in Dale with the mother and daughter - not a lot of information released to the public.
I don’t think they’d both be killed by the bear and never found, especially since the collar was found clean and undamaged? MooIt does seem like more people are posting again about this young man. I saw one post where they had a picture of a bear print. There must be some suspicion of a bear attack.
ITA No friends stepping forward with information or opinions either. But, he is an adult and can walk away from his life if he wants to. It just seems strange to me too that there is no anguish or for that matter even expressed, intense interest in finding him other than the five day search that is now over without results. Very peculiar to me.The radio silence from the family is baffling. On the Oconto County Sheriffs Facebook page post dated April 24th, his mother has identified herself. But there’s no updates or follow ups from her that I can find.

It’s possible the dog slipped it’s collar, especially if it were really distressed or had lost weight from being outside for so long.I just realized from reading the searchers report, that the dog collar was found unclasped. That means it was intentionally removed, and re-clasped prior to being found. The dog did not get snagged on anything and it popped apart. It’s not going to slide off the dogs head unless it was extremely loose. In the photo the dogs collar looks appropriately fitted. Did Nicholas chose to release the dog so she would be found and taken in?
