No.

Agreed.

>They also have a host of detractors, from the FBI—which looked at the deaths in 2008 and concluded the vast majority appeared to be accidental drownings—to the Center for Homicide Research—which looked at 40 of the cases and concluded the same—to the various police departments and medical examiners that handled each case and steadfastly refuse to change their conclusions.

This whole article sets of my conspiracy theory alarm. So you have a bunch of young men who are being murdered across multiple cities and multiple professionals at multiple levels of government are completely blind to it? And what is the payoff. It's not like these are drug related murders where there is a lot of money at stake? This article just doesn't add up for me.

"Facts" like this really set off the BS-alarm:

>It was a good distance away, about 10 miles, but the investigators have discovered that the smiley-face graffiti usually appears on the first man-made structure visible from where a body is found

EDIT: Want to add that I'm not disputing that there may have been foul play, just that there's some nationwide conspiracy involved.

Similar drowned young men cases in Europe recently.

If you're really interested in peeling back the layers of these stories, you're going to have to watch and read all the material published by David Paulides. Type "Missing 411" in your favorite search engine and watch him on the Youtube.

He is a long-time LEO and his books are incredibly well researched. They're not on Amazon and only available on his website.

Let me just say that this is some VERY strange sh%$t!

For anyone curious, David Paulides has been shilling his book on the internet in the grossest imaginable ways for at least a few years now. There are threads banned on 4chan's /x/ board because they're part of this spam. 4chan.

If the guy sincerely felt these alleged "conspiracies" were so significant, he wouldn't do everything in his power to restrict access to the information and then sell it like an infomercial.

His books aren't cheap and I'm thinking he makes his living and supports his research from their sale.

I'm also thinking you have not read any of his books and really have nothing to say about his research or the circumstances of all the missing people that he is reporting on.

Yeah, I also haven't read The Secret to learn the Law of Attraction or how important it is, but I can still identify an obnoxious and dishonest marketing campaign when I see it, and it's still an indicator of how seriously I should regard his "research" to the extent he's claiming some public benefit.

I've not seen any indication of any "obnoxious and dishonest marketing campaign" on his part. All I know is that in his books he presents what I feel is very credible research and offers no conclusions.

The missing persons cases he examines are truly remarkable. I don't expect to persuade you of this, but I am responding to you for the possible benefit of anyone else who may be reading these remarks.

And I'll also inform anyone else who may be reading that a simple google search will reveal the guy is a profit-motivated wacko with no credibility who sells paperbacks for 80 dollars.
