Hey everyone, I was looking into the David B. Widner case and found it interesting that very little seems to be known about what happened right after he was released from custody. I've been wondering if anyone’s dug into what was going on in the area around Walnut Creek during that time — like if there were similar disappearances or suspicious activities? I know it was the early '80s, but maybe there are some old news reports or local stories that could shed more light. It just feels odd how someone could vanish like that without any trace. Curious if anyone else has theories or thoughts on other possible leads that have been overlooked?
Hey everyone, I was digging into the case of David B. Widner who went missing from Walnut Creek back in '83, and something just hit me. Has anyone else looked into the circumstances around his arrest and release? It's a strange coincidence that he'd vanish right after getting out, especially since there was nothing particularly notable about the arrest itself apart from it being related to alcohol. Did the police follow up on anyone he might have interacted with that night? Or any potential places he could have gone after being released? I mean, it's baffling how few details there are. Would love to hear if anyone has any insights or theories!
Does anyone have any insights into the tattoo on David Widner's shoulder? It's described as a flying bird. Given that tattoos can sometimes have personal or symbolic meanings, I wonder if this could give us any clues about his interests, affiliations, or mindset around the time of his disappearance. Maybe someone will recognize the design or style? It's such a small detail, but it could be significant in understanding more about him. If anyone has thoughts or theories, I'd love to hear them.
