At some campuses the first time will linger for a while, but all it takes is one professor to see our admittedly eye catching posters and do a lil Google search and they are on the lookout.

In other public places such as parks, beaches and walkeable shopping areas they can stay up for several days

@Papa Pizzagate to be fair they are what got me into 411 a while back. Since then I have read Paulides' books and easily listened to over a days worth of radio interviews

Yeah, they've had some gems.

Yeah, and it sure doesn’t help that when you search up IE, it leads to Wikipedia’s, the SPLC’s, and the ADL’s biased definitions. Maybe have a link to official IE stuff on the posters/fliers? @Sam Anderson

Missing 411 is spooky. I like backpacking, skiing, and camping alone, but I think of it sometimes.

@Chris N. - CA who is your coordinator?

@Chris N. - CA a good deal of brainstorming has been done on that.

@Ian My coordinator is Bogl!

Nice to see that region growing. Bogl is a good dude, and so is his wife.

or, well a good woman 😂

And yeah, a link would help since just the words “Identity Evropa” give the person no choice but to merely google the term, leading to the first results which are false info on IE. Maybe link to an “About Us” page on IE’s website?

Oh, I see the point that you are trying to make.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN my first week into researching it I found out I had a personal connection to one of the cases

so it solidified my interest

@Kingfish Yikes!

yeah wild

Yeah, I’m happy more people are waking up in my region. Bogl seems like a great guy from my interactions with him! I sincerely look forward to the time we’ll spend working together in my region of Cali. @Papa Pizzagate

I'm sorry if it was a loved one of a loved one. To never find a family member is one of the worst things imaginable.

haha nobody directly related to me

just relatively close location wise

thankfully it was nobody I knew dearly

Yeah great people.

Wait, you didn't even know them at all, did you?

no I had a personal connection to the case not the victim

Spooky still

yeah it was eerie once I heard it

Bro want to know something crazy? Just last week gf's mom told me to be careful when I go camping or hiking and linked me a story about effectively the same thing.

Despite my user name, I have no wish to encounter unusual things in the wilderness

dude it is a pretty common phenomena but people don't know they all have similar cases so they dont have a name for it

but a lot of outdoorsy people know of the thing itself

she was like "you hit the victim profile exactly", the only difference is that she seemed to think it was gang related and I couldn't convince her otherwise.

yeah germans are the main people who go missing

but honestly I am willing to bet Germans are also statistically the most outdoorsy

Good thing I'm American...r-right 😅

@Kingfish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley_face_murder_theory

she sent me an article about this

yeah this was a big thing for a while

The feel of fitting a victim profile perfectly must be weird. My mother fit the victim profile of a group of serial killing victims perfectly in the area she lived in when she was younger, and she remembered weird times where she felt like she was being followed or stalked. Seriously creepy stuff.

I fit the victim of unlawful RICO charges
