The Disappearance of Brian Vargo

College years are typically a time of significant transformation. For many, it marks the initial taste of genuine autonomy, starting a path toward personal discovery. However, in 1976, this quest for self-understanding might have contributed to the disappearance of a college student.



Takeaways


  • The old school thinking surrounding marijuana as a gateway drug may have hindered the private investigator's investigation into Brian's disappearance.
  • The Salvation Army's Missing Person Department played a role in the search for Brian, but ultimately no new leads were uncovered.
  • Speculation about Brian's relationship with Kim raises questions about possible shame and confusion surrounding his sexuality.
  • The family's belief in Brian's eventual return and their ongoing search for answers highlight the emotional toll of a missing loved one.
  • Investigating a cold case after many years presents significant challenges, including the difficulty of obtaining accurate information and the fading memories of witnesses.
  • The case serves as a reminder to be compassionate and understanding towards individuals who may be struggling with their identity or facing societal pressures.
