09/29/02: Craig Burrows, 23, Eau Claire, WI

Craig Burrows, 23, left a tavern on Water Street in Eau Claire, WI and disappeared. He was reported missing after he did not show up for work. His body was found in Half Moon Lake, near the beach, a week later.

------------------------
An autopsy found that the 23-year-old accidentally drowned, said Sgt. John Arnette of the Eau Claire Police Department. Investigators believe alcohol played a role in Burrows' death but must wait several weeks for his blood-alcohol test results, Arnette said.

Michael Noll, 22, who disappeared in November 2002 was also later found in Half Moon Lake.

I went to school with Craig for 13 years and always thought his death wasn't accidental. When the others started to show up missing/drowned it became obvious to many, but still not investigated. I hope they look closer into the new theories
