This is a True Story!

This story came to me in a message over the internet. The man claimed to need an anonymous way to get the word out about this disappearance. He told the story to me in its entirety and then offered to release to me all rights if I would publish it under my name, title it "This is a true story!", advertise it locally and forward any comments or information about it to him. The guy sounded so sincere that I think that he actually believes this to be true. Anyway, I love weird tales and besides, maybe the guy is telling the truth. So here it is – Decide for yourself.
