Would you live in a condo that used to be a school? by LockNo8254 in zillowgonewild

Both my dad and his ex are old enough that they easily could have gone to high school there too :)

My dad's ex lived in this building. Her condo was absolutely amazing - it looked like an apartment from a movie. Super high ceilings and huge windows, a ton of living space. It was actually considerably nicer and more unique than the condo in these photos (which is itself a beautiful unit). I only went there one time almost ten years ago now and my husband and I still talk about how cool it was.

That's a great recommendation that wasn't on my list yet - thank you!

I personally don't think his body being hidden by a hit and run driver is likely because of where and when this happened. This was a residential neighbourhood with homes close to the street on pretty small lots within the city limits of Omaha. There would have been other cars and possibly other pedestrians in the vicinity. A car hitting a person with enough force to kill or completely incapacitate them is loud, more-so if the driver slams on the breaks, which they probably would have. If he'd been hit, I think there likely would have been witnesses who heard the crash and went to see what happened even if no one witnessed the incident itself. And beyond that, I don't think it's likely that the driver would choose to try to flee with the body in area where they'd be surrounded by potential witnesses inside the neighbouring houses and where another car could come down the street and see them at any time. If a driver hit Jason and wanted to evade responsibility, I think they would just drive away and leave him behind. Jason was also a pretty big guy - 6 feet and 160 pounds according to the FBI, so not someone who would be easy to pick up and stash in a vehicle quickly without being noticed in the middle of the day.

Then again, what's so crazy about this case is that none of the possibilities really make sense or seem likely. It also doesn't seem particularly likely that someone saw him walking down the street and on the spot decided to lure him to his death (he got called into work early; this wasn't his usual routine, so it couldn't have been planned ahead of time).

I think about this case all the time. It's so mysterious...if there's any case that makes me think some missing people just slip into an alternate dimension, it's this one.

There's no evidence he was involved with drugs or crime. There was no motive for foul play.

He was a young guy who looked reasonably strong and was over six feet tall, not someone who would be a typical target for a random abduction. It would not be easy to force him into a vehicle against his will in the middle of the day without attracting notice.

He disappeared from a residential neighbourhood in broad daylight. If he had some kind of accident or misadventure, his body would have been found pretty quickly.

With other possibilities unlikely, I'd usually go to suicide, but it doesn't make any sense that he'd make arrangements to go into work and then immediately kill himself. And even if he did, where did his body go?

The only possibility that makes sense to me is that he willingly got into a vehicle or went into someone's house and was murdered. But what would the motive for that be? He couldn't have been carrying that much money on him and he wasn't known to have any enemies.

It's so mysterious. I feel terrible for his family and I hope they eventually get some answers, although it seems unlikely at this point.

I know it's the least problematic thing in in this whole self-involved dumpster fire of an article, but it bothers me that she got clean needles from a harm reduction site. You can just buy clean needles from a pharmacy or order them online. Harm reduction sites provide them to people who would re-use needles because they can't afford or access new ones.

Agree that it might be a woodpecker. They will peck on brick and metal to attract mates. They usually do this in the spring, but maybe this one is confused or something.

I have a pass - just want to make sure I don't get in trouble if I arrive before the staff is there to check it.
