Chris Olberding, had been a freshman at University of Cincinnati for just two weeks when he went missing on Saturday, October 2, 2004 after leaving a party on Muddy Creek Road in Green Township. He was gone, and so was his car, a red 1996 Dodge Intrepid. It was so out of character for Chris to go off alone that his parents immediately reported him missing. A reliable kid
Chris was mature, stable and reliable. He played soccer and wrestled in junior high and had worked at a Kroger store on Harrison Avenue in Dent for four years before graduating from Oak Hills High School.
Recovered
The body of Christopher J. Olberding, was found Friday, Oct. 8. off the bank of the Ohio River near Anderson Ferry and the 4500 block of River Road after being spotted by barge workers. The Hamilton County Coroner's Office later confirmed it was Chris Olberding. Dive teams from the Hamilton County Sheriff's office found his red 1996 Dodge Intrepid Wednesday at Anderson Ferry landing.
Police told reporters their investigation revealed no signs of foul play. Chris' father, Mike Olberding said, "The official coroner's cause of death was drowning." Officials did not say whether they found evidence that might shed light on what happened to Olberding.

i miss you so much
If Chris's car is still missing, it's a clear sign of foul play. How the police could accept the coroner's verdict of drowning without first finding the car is beyond me. This is cop dumb at its worst and incontrovertible proof of a logical disconnect in the thinking of those responsible for looking at ALL the evidence, not just the provable kind. Of course, the authorities could be trying to keep these suspicious cases under wraps while they conduct secret investigations behind the scenes. If that's what they're doing, they are also granting the killers broad latitude to kill with impunity. The public should be warned, if the authorities suspect serial murder. They can help stop the killing NOW, by announcing their concerns before the killers strike again.
Some possible I-94 cases involving automobiles: 1) Scott Javins, 5/02; 2)Jeremy Stienkeoway, 4/03; Chris Olberding, 10/04. Note that in each case the car was moved and/or hidden. That means it presented a problem for the killers. Note also, that the killers apparently had answers to these problems. That suggests to me prior planning, logistics, even professional assistance of some kind. The theoretical intercept--WHO--may, in fact, comprise students, non-students and their professional overseers. The Scepter never sleeps.
Anyword on whether the police have found this guy's car?
Sad circumstances - believe it was determined there was no foul play. Always freaks me out as I have the same name. Even the same middle name - Christopher James Olberding. Really not the most common name in the world.
any one know the name of the teams he played for?
His car was found.
