Re: ------- Sad
Doesn't say anywhere on the website. There was a big contraversy over it locally, but there was never enough evidence present to actually bring anybody to justice over it. Thats what happens when you get a lot of people in on something and nobody is willing to start pointing fingers, cause the same thing could just as easily happen to them.
Just a case of little town "nobody gives a ----" syndrome. Even though everybody knows full well what happened, nobody does ---- about it.

In my mind, no body or confession = no crime. The kid was 19 and within his legal right to pick up and leave. Sucks if he did get killed, but I'm not really sure a crime was committed. Just a bunch of gossiping townsfolk. Not to mention, his truck is still missing? I doubt some local thugs would get it together to kill the guy, dispose of his body & his F-150. None of which has been found.
As far as people covering their asses... My wife does social work on the Near East Side of Columbus (i.e. Ghetto) and we talk about this all the time. They have more than their fair share of crime and people in the neighborhood aren't very cooperative with the police. It's not that they don't care, but once they're identified as someone who talked to police, they're STILL IN THE ------- GHETTO and the people they "help" put away, they still have friends in the neighborhood. These people are afraid for their lives, for their families and their well being and I really don't blame them for not wanting to talk.

The black guy that got "jumped" more than likely had something to do with it. I do not buy the whole innocent black kid walking down a country road when a truck full of white hooligans decides "hey boys, let's lynch us a ------."
I just don't buy the story. Thats my opinion, if you want to take it as fact, that's your own ------- problem.
No body, no confession, no crime? So you're telling me if somebody decided that you are a piece of ---- and don't deserve to live another day (which we'll assume is true for this example) and made you disappear - then never confessed to it.
It wouldn't be a crime?
Obviously it couldn't be, since I'm assuming you're of legal age to just up and leave.
The website doesn't do a very good job of telling exactly what happened to him. I've spoken with some of the people who claim to have killed him, people who were supposedly there. He did something to offend a large group of people, more than likely racial slurs. There's been confessions, just not to the police or anybody important.
A lot of what you said is true in the 2nd paragraph, nobody wants to put their neck on the line to close this case. Pretty much everybody around here knows what happened to him, but nobody involved has come forth with any compelling evidence that they actually did it, all the others involved deny it - whatever.
Just because they can't or haven't pinned it on anybody doesn't mean that isn't what happened.
Sure there's the very slight possibility that all of these people are joking and he really did just randomly run away even though his life at home was apparently pretty good. But that's not very likely. I figured I'd just throw that in there to keep you happy since obviously if nobody confessed to the police, then God forbid a crime was actually committed.
No body, no confession, no crime?

The word "probably" and the phrase "more than likely" don't imply fact. You're taking what you know about the story and injecting your own opinion by combining it with one of those examples. I don't need to twist your words, because I'm interpreting what you have to say with the words you use.
I read once that Jesus walked on water, but more than likely, he was probably a surfer.
See how that works? No one in their right mind would believe that because it sounds like a pretty flimsy argument.
Anyway, I'm curious. Why haven't you gone to the police or contacted the family with what you know? It seems like this case is near and dear to your heart and it would be the right thing to do. Just don't go to the PD and say "More than likely, it was probably So-And-So."
And to answer your question (no body, no confession, no crime), if the kid's not confirmed dead, there's no murder.
