Candlelight vigil for missing WWU freshman

<p>[Local</a> News | Candlelight vigil Wednesday night for missing WWU student from Auburn | Seattle Times Newspaper](<a href=“http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2013025521_missing30m.html]Local”>http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2013025521_missing30m.html)</p>

<p>Praying he’s ok.</p>

<p>Oh EK, I hate these stories. The story says he sent 6,000 text messages last month but since Sunday he has sent none. I don’t understand why they can’t ping (or whatever you call it) his cel phone and try to locate him.</p>

<p>^^^
from the local paper:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I am praying for this young man and his family.</p>

<p>Thanks Greta. So I guess if the battery is dead or the phone is off you can’t ping.</p>

<p>They still havent found anything- my D is coming home Sat- I hope they will have info by then.

<p>The news on college campuses this week has been overwhelming-- WWU, Seton Hall, Rutgers…</p>

<p>…the University of Texas, also.</p>

<p>And Villanova. Student was killed by a driver in a runaway stolen vehicle - his friend (both in a VW jetta) is in critical condition. Heartbreaking. And they haven’t caught the guy…he ran away from the vehicle on foot.</p>

<p>After not hearing from D for a week and seeing all these news I was really happy to get a text from her. I knew she was OK, but still! My heart goes out to the parents and friends of these kids…</p>

<p>Uh, oh…an unidentified body was just found in a pond by the waterfront :(</p>

<p>Is that the “elderly” woman with a gunshot wound or a new one?
( is it just me or does 60-65 seem a little young for “elderly”)</p>

<p>Sounds like it is new remains.
Not happy news for anyone.</p>

<p>The ME has been called to the site immediately, to determine if the body is that of Dwight Clark. Sort of implies that the body is that of a young male.</p>

<p>"Earlier, police were looking into a message scrawled on a poster for Clark to see if it’s credible.</p>

<p>The message, written on a poster hanging outside a store, said Clark had been stabbed to death."</p>

<p>From the Times’ article.</p>

<p>Dwight’s mother has been notified of the body according to a Seattle news site. This doesn’t look good.</p>

<p>A boy from my D1 high school disappeared during his freshman year at Tulane after a Mardi Gras party & his body wasn’t found for months ( coincidentally similar body type to Dwight Clark).</p>

<p>Very tragic- but better to finally have an idea of what happened than never know.</p>

<p>The body has been identified as Dwight Clark. So very tragic and sad.</p>

<p>I have to admit, when “pinging” his cell didn’t work, I suspected it was under water. We had a hs girl go missing here two years ago, the first thing the police did was try to ping her cell phone. No response. She was found 48 hours later, drowned in a swamp (she had been at a drinking party in the woods and wandered off on her own). Her cell phone was under water.</p>

<p>^ A blank text was apparently sent from his cell phone the night he disappeared,… from the downtown area. Whether Dwight sent it, or someone else did, will never be known I guess.</p>

<p>Oh my god. So sad…</p>

<p>This is sad news- so sorry for his friends and family- I hope they find out more about that poster writer.</p>
