Brien Vogt

Brien Thomas Vogt, property 30, was past seen successful Tacoma, Washington connected April 8, 1984.

Brien was calved successful Marin County, California connected April 6, 1954 portion his begetter was stationed successful Northern California. The household had moved to Fairbanks, Alaska by the precocious 1950’s, wherever helium appears successful a paper arsenic portion of a kindergarten class.

(Unfortunately, the students are listed alphabetically, not successful the bid of the photo, truthful I person nary thought which 1 is Brien.) His 2 sisters look successful precocious schoolhouse yearbooks successful Alaska successful the precocious 1960’s and aboriginal 1970’s. Though I can’t find Brien successful the yearbooks, I did find a paper notation to him, arsenic helium won a precocious leap lawsuit successful the Special Olympics successful 1975. It describes Brien arsenic a nonmigratory of Hope Center, suggesting helium had a terrible disability, though intelligibly precise athletic.

Public records amusement Brien surviving successful Renton, Washington astatine immoderate point, though his household inactive lived successful Alaska.

At the clip of his disappearance, Brien was reportedly dropped disconnected astatine Interstate 5 adjacent SeaTac Mall successful Tacoma, Washington and intended to hitchhike to Portland, Oregon. There person been nary confirmed sightings of him since, though determination person been reports that helium whitethorn person been seen successful Fairbanks, Alaska astatine immoderate clip aft that.

Initially, I had discounted the Alaska sightings, arsenic we each cognize astir the unconfirmed sightings that get reported each implicit the state erstwhile idiosyncratic is missing. Like with unidentified remains, I don’t wage excessively overmuch caput to them unless determination is thing compelling, oregon determination is simply a crushed the idiosyncratic whitethorn person been successful different state. However, I didn’t larn that Brien had grown up successful Fairbanks and that his household inactive lived determination until aft I started digging. Because of his ties there, I deliberation it’s imaginable helium was seen by radical helium knew, which makes it much apt that these were genuine sightings. It makes maine wonderment however apt it would beryllium that Brien would instrumentality to his hometown without contacting his family. Knowing thing astir him personally, it’s hard to say.

Brien’s begetter passed distant successful 2009, and Brien is listed arsenic deceased successful his obituary. His siblings are inactive alive, and I anticipation they tin find answers.
