I knew Hoover back in the day. He was a good investigative dog but once he had a taste of those artisanal dog biscuits, he spiraled downward into a life of addiction. Losing his investigating job was hard on the old boy and he really began an even more severe dependency to Beggin Strips. I hope Hoover gets the help he needs so he can get clean and put his sniffer to use once again.

In the spring I was involved in a search for a missing man that was distraught. His vehicle was found near a semi-desert wilderness area with a lot of scrub brush. The PD had searched the most likely area with a ground team, several cadaver dogs and a drone and found nothing. The family was interested in a search of an adjacent area and that was the area I was involved in and we found no trace. Later the Sheriff brought in another dog and searched with no success. A few months later, person walking their dog found the man’s body under brush in an area that had been searched. He had taken his own life and made efforts to conceal himself. I never received details on the exact location. My take on search dogs is until these search dogs can speak English, I’m not inclined to trust them. That is unless they show me where the body is located.

Yep. I’m his same age and friends with a connected case where the young man ended up murdered a week before. PIs found that Josh was investigating the monks at the Abbey for SA of vulnerable students… just look into it. There are many cases of monks SA these 18-20 year old guys. Josh was investigating it and catfishing them to get proof is what I’ve been told by friends who went to college with Josh. He wanted to blow the whistle and there was some kind of a threat, stalking or a break in of his dorm shortly before he went missing if I remember correctly. Dr Grande didn’t mention that the college got a restraining order against Joshes father and family for bringing search dogs and PIs to campus to conduct searches. The Abbey wouldn’t let police or search dogs come in without a warrant (which was obtained a lot later and searched). There’s a lot more there

[@dominicktorres2577]

Yeah, in all honesty, I don't entirely agree with Dr. Grande’s analysis of this case. Well, part of it, at least. I believe that the drowning theory is the most likely one, partially due to what you pointed out, which is that college-aged individuals drowning in lakes due to intoxication has happened many times before. That's only part of my reasoning, though.

[@3krickett]

The minute I heard he had left his wallet, contacts, glasses, coat and belt I think it was at his apartment it rubbed me the wrong way. My son is that age. There is no way they are going out without at least some combination of those items. Which led me to question did he actually return home? Did he actually return home with Nick? And something actually happened after. There was two hours between when Nick's keycard was used and when campus was alerted. I find it odd at that age you would contact campus if your friend wasnt home two hours after you. I would assume they hooked up with someone and are sleeping at their place. If he apparently was at a party and didnt come home naturally one would think he met a girl and will be back in the morning. I think reporting it at 4:20am was odd. Sometimes kids go for food after parties, pass out at parties etc so I dont know why you would panic yet. The Nick gentlemen seemed nice and genuine but I still find that odd. I would like to see a timeline list of everyone who came in with a keycard during that time. Did he actually go back to his room. Contacts and glasses are there so I'm curious his prescription. How far could he see and after a few drinks without glasses how much worse would his vision have been? I feel there are many unanswered questions.

[@gracestevenson4157]

They had to badge in to get into their apartments. Josh did not badge back in after leaving at 11:06, which is why it is assumed he did NOT come back home. However, it's not unusual for doors to be propped open etc so you never know. The intriguing thing for me is that someone was at Josh's computer listening to music and manually skipping songs between 11:52 PM and 12:32 AM. Is it possible Josh did make it back and then left again at 12:30? Was one of his roommates using his computer? We know Nick wasn't there, but he had other roommates as well. They reported him missing the following day at 4:20 PM not AM after he missed a meeting and a mock trial practice (which was not like him). I think they assumed earlier in the day he just stayed somewhere else after the party and realized it was serious later when he didn't show up for his comittments.

[@ovcharkaboxing]

great points. im firmly in the foul play camp. nick is looking sus. he does not have an alibi...

[@erickanew]

​@Grace Stevenson yeah I was thinking the person there listening to music let him in, killed him, but most logical he hooked up with the wrong person

[@NoahSpurrier]

Reasons to refuse a polygraph: 1. If you pass the test the police won’t eliminate you as a suspect. If they don’t trust their own test why should you? 2. If you mistakenly fail the test now you become a suspect. This may distract the police from putting their energy into finding the real culprit. Worse, it may prejudice their investigation and cause them to manufacture evidence against you. They may do this consciously or subconsciously. 3. Why create evidence which may be used against you? Passing the test will have little value to you in a defense in court. There’s no benefit to you. 4. A significant minority of the population will fail these tests even if telling the truth. You may be one of these people. You don’t know if you are one of these people. Why take that risk? These tests should be outlawed in criminal investigations.

I've met two people in my life that I've known for years. Both of these individuals was complete success stories from the time they was literally like 16. The dreams they set as teenagers was eventually accomplished by the time they was in their late twenties. Both individuals at different periods of time just randomly snapped, I mean just a complete breakdown mentally and physically. Both individuals never drank never use drugs never committed crimes, and one day it was like someone turned on a light switch in both. Neither one of them knew each other and it didn't happen at the same time I'm just saying I know two people who's just seem to snap out of nowhere. And completely ruin their lives and destroy them in a matter of a year. Me and my friends often talk about it and say what the hell you think happened. Because after a few years it was like they came back to reality. Completely lost everything and everyone around them but came back to reality. So I am convinced sometimes people just lose it

Please correct me if I’m wrong, my memory isn’t as sharp as it used to be, but as I recall it; she did disappear from Highway 20 while walking there late in the evening or at night, but detectives had reason to suspect that she had been picked up by "friends", who sexually assaulted, murdered her, and left her body in the woods, or something like that - but not enough evidence to charge anyone!?

Maybe he was going undercover when assuming female personas investigating the rumored monk's crimes. As well, if his investigations were deleted from his computer at the same time as his internet history was, it starts to seem like maybe there is a link there. The pieces do seem to fit together from what I have heard in this video.

Even a really reliable bloodhound would have trouble following a trail that cold in an urban environment. Even the handler would probably doubt the dog. Once the air track of the person (their smell in the air) has dispersed, they rely on articles or things they've touched, or maybe something they tracked on their shoes. Conversely, in a wilderness search, the trail can be followed for much longer because they can also follow the environmental change due to the person passing. Things like misplaced earth, bent blades of grass, shuffled leaves, broken twigs, etc all have a smell and make it clear that someone has passed there. They also may have touched branches, trees, or anything organic with their skin, which will retain the individual's unique scent longer to confirm the identity of the track-layer (some dogs are trained to indicate whenever they find such an identifier to keep their handler in the know, and so they can mark it on GPS or in the field). Source: SAR K9 handler/trainer here yo Edit: Also, since the dog in question and his handler were independents and not on a formal task force or with a well-reputed organization, they may be known to just be bad at their jobs and refuse to retire, and inexperienced folks keep hiring them, to the chagrin of local law enforcement.

Thanks again for your analysis of the mysterious disappearance of Josh Guimond, Dr. Grande. My concern is that, if he was going out to meet someone on that cold night, why didn't he take a coat with him? There is also the question as to why the police disregarded the findings of the bloodhound, which suggests that the police might have known something that they chose not to share with the public. And really, how accurate could the police searching the lakes for Josh's body be when conducted months later? His body might have been washed up on the shore and been eaten by wild animals and the remaining bones being dispersed by the animals in the intervening months. Of course, the murder theory is the most plausible, with Josh meeting someone in a vehicle on the bridge, where the police dog traced him to but had no further scent of him after that point. Another possibility is that his roommate was waiting for him in his car on the bridge and murdered him, although the time he left Josh's ex-girlfriend's party would make this unlikely unless she knowingly provided him with an alibi because he returned to the dorm roughly an hour or so later than it would have taken for him to return from her party. It was supposedly only seven minutes away by car.

[@gracestevenson4157]

@@cht2162 if he was going to do that he could've joined the abbey that literally was a 100 yards away from him on campus. Very doubtful he'd just disappear off the face of the earth

[@gracestevenson4157]

1) The reason why the police dismissed Hoover is due to his training. His handler was a true crime fan that didn't attend any true training or classes but simply self-taught herself and Hoover via watching videos and true crime shows, etc. He wasn't reliable unfortunately 2) The campus was very small, with most walks being less than 5 minutes. Walking on campus without a jacket even when cold isn't implausible especially if you were only planning on going a short distance (which he was with the party). In the case of the potential meetup, walking to the bridge or parking lot from the party also would've been short distance and then he would've been in a presumably heated car. Not unusual for college kids to not have their coat (I didn't wear mine when going from dorm to dorm and lived on a small campus) 3) They searched the lakes shortly after his disappearance but did ran into MN winter weather rather quickly and decided to wait to do more/more extensive water searches until the spring. The area he likely would've fallen in (if he did) was really shallow (3 feet deep tops) so it's unlikely he wouldn't have been seen early on if he had fallen in 4) There were two witnesses who saw a man who fit Josh's description on the bridge that night. They did not mention anyone else around nor any cars at the time.

[@ladygrey5219]

It was late at night when Nick left Katie's apartment. It's very possible that Katie incorrectly remembered the time that Nick left Katie's place. No one else was there to verify the time he left and there were no surveillance cameras to time-stamp his departure, so it's possible that the time she gave was just an estimate, and was wrong. Nick was planning to attend law school the following year, so it's unlikely that he would do something so criminal to jeopardize his future.

My husband attended St. John's in the graduate theological school from 2007-2009. I don't recall anyone mentioning him missing. There were still posters up for Jacob Wetterling around campus though. I don't think the 2 are related just odd to not have Joshua's missing poster up (if there was a poster). I lived there from 2008-2009 after I married my husband and he finished his last year there. The surrounding communities were extremely shaken up after Jacob went missing. This was before they found his body. It had a huge impact on the whole area. My guess would be the simplest, he got drunk (maybe it didn't hit until after he left the party) and drowned in a lake. There is a lot of water in the area of all sizes. No weird vibes from the campus, the monks, etc. It's just a normal university. My husband and I aren't Catholic, so no reason to side with the university.

[@angiehabermas1095]

My husband just told me he saw Joshua's posters around campus too. My bad.

[@atomicprince929]

The guy in the orange car was most likely the campus drug dealer, IMO. Listening to the "Simply Vanished" podcast, multiple SJU men were approached and almost kidnapped near/on campus in the weeks before and after Joshua's disappearance. One man was grabbed by four men in a truck/SUV, but was able to escape a short time after. I concur with you Dr. Grande, most likely foul play was involved. Love your content, insight and wit. :)

[@merricat3025]

Being kidnapped is a good theory.

[@taylorfrink1182]

very sad case. idk if it is something youd do for a video typically but id be interested to see your analysis of the strange man caught on video creeping on van life vlogger Alyssa Vanilla here on youtube who seemed awfully like a predator of some kind on the prowl. odd that he originally claimed to be checking on her cause he makes sure people dont need water, then returned with some weird alternate personality saying he saw a different guy creeping on her with binoculars and told him he offers people water ???? which is exactly what he himself had just done? it was almost like he was warning her about himself

Yeah, it's a grift. An old one. Create a threat, then step in as the solution to the threat. She is scared of one guy, so, for this apparent knight in shining armor, she let's her guard down, and let's this guy get closer. ...... He's experienced at doing this, he's done it before, and he will end up hurting a girl. I'd guess his targets are usually younger. 10-13 yr olds. Kids that would be in the park, or walking the neighborhood, alone. Easy to have different versions of this tactic. eg. 'Oh, I'm with Neighborhood Watch, I saw you walking alone. I wanted to make sure you were ok. Where do you live? Do your parents know where you are?" etc, grill them for info. Hope she stays safe. She should park next to a cop shop, in front of an all night diner, laundromat. Find city cameras, obvious ones, park in their sight. Put signs on the outside of the windows, "External Cameras Monitoring This Location" ... "911 Enabled Bluetooth Alarms Monitoring Vehicle" Peace

I had just watched the Unsolved episode, also. The one thing you didn't address, Dr. Grande, was the news reports about the monks at the Abbey being accused of sexual abuse. Joshua's friend had mentioned Joshua was doing some research about the accusations. Police said they didn't find any evidence of that, but remember, the internet search history had been tampered with. Also the bloodhound had traced Joshua's scent to the Abbey. That really raises questions in my mind. That said, I really appreciate how you so logically put the facts together and come up with most and least probable theories.

[@gracestevenson4157]

No proof after looking at his emails etc. However I don't believe they are able to actually get into his Yahoo personal messages because Josh deleted the software on October 28th, several days before he went missing. He also reported a user to Yahoo for violation of policies shortly before deleting his Yahoo stuff and immediately after being on the phone with an unknown person for about a half hour. Not sure it's related to his disappearance at all but things to think about.

Dr Grande ... Thank you for the illustrative graphics! Definitely helps with the visualization of the story details. The only thing I probably would have done is added a photo of a likeness of Hoover the Bloodhound (because dogs always increase the appeal of any video). Extra bonus points if there was a mugshot style photo of Hoover in the Video thumbnail. Joshua should have had a part time job to occupy his free time. Then he would have been too tired to go anywhere and he would still be alive today. Play dangerous games, win dangerous prizes.
