Missing West Point Cadet

WAMom68 · Dec 22, 2006

I heard about this missing cadet on another website. Here is a link to the story: http://www.startribune.com/462/story/887907.html

I’m praying he is okay and home by the time you read this.

Hope he turns up safe and sound

Reports from "Plebe Net" indicate that the missing plebe is back home. There aren't any details, at least none that I have, but at least the preliminary news sounds good. If I hear anything further I'll let you all know.

Thanks to God. What a relief that must be to parents, friends, all.

There seems to be some question as to the accuracy of the Plebe Net posting.

Another poster on the CC forum posted, "There was nothing on the local evening news regarding the cadet returning. Here is the 12/24 article from the Pioneer Press:

I guess this means we're all still hoping for good "definative" news.

Any updates?

Sadly, nothing new. They'd called off the search last week. Here is an article from yesterday about the Mom. Very sad times for that family.

Heartbreaking.

Just found this posted elsewhere, not the outcome we were praying for.

Damn.

Well, at least they found him and it was an accident. At least they can have some peace now.

Indeed, some comfort in this painful knowledge. May this brave boy RIP and may his family and friends lovingly remember him with much joy and pride, assured he was living his dream, working at it to the end.
