The Lincoln Connection

What started out as just a strange coincidence--quite a few connections to the word Lincoln throughout these cases--has morphed into quite a long list. With that said, America is full of streets, schools and parks named after presidents (Lincoln seems to be a particular favorite), so please take this with a grain of salt.



  • Brad Olsen was last seen on W. Lincoln Highway.
  • Nick Rossini and Nathan Edberg's mothers worked at Lincoln Elementary School.
  • Nathan Kapfer attended Lincoln Elementary school.
  • Max Walker was from Lincoln, Nebraska.
  • Josh Stostak is believed to have last passed by Lincoln Park by the Martin Luther King Monument.
  • Brian Welzien spent his evening at a bar on Lincoln Street.
  • Abel Bolanos' car was found parked on Lincoln Way. His body was found in Lake Laverne near Lincoln Way.
  • The search for Brandon Swanson is taking place in Lincoln County. His car broke down on Lyon Lincoln Road.
  • There is a Lincoln Center on the campus of Fordham University where Patrick McNeil attended school. [Tip courtesy of Ethan.] It is not known whether McNeil attended classes here.
  • It may be a stretch, but Willie Jacobson was a member of a student group called Youth Against War and Racism (Lincoln was instrumental in ending slavery).
  • Edward Lamphear, a man whose name recently popped up on this blog as a possible suspect, attended Lincoln High school.
  • Dan Pirfo's body was located at the bottom of Ithaca Falls next to East Lincoln Street in Ithaca, NY. [Tip courtesy of Brett.]
  • There is an area called Lincoln Park in Chicago, where some deaths have occurred.

  4. Lincoln is a common name so on the surface it looks llieke it could ba a coincidence,but there are other things besides the name lincoln that connect most of the disappearances listed.

    Josh was one of 2 DJ's missing in the NE in a 43 day period and the first letters of the city names during that period spell out arm.he was on a street that is connected to Columbia and then Pearl and Shaffer has a pearl Jam tattoo on his arm

    The disappearances of Abel Bolanos and Josh Kaneaukua were close together


    There was disappearances of someone that went to a party on the Donald Ross Road and Ross and Rossini within 2 months of each other.All of them were on myspace

  5. There are obvious connections to LINCOLN.

    Abe Lincoln was saved from a near drowning experience at the age of 7.
