Gone Missing


Did they ever find him?


Radio Inventor Gone.

Patent Notice Reaches Home After Engineer Has Disappeared.


Anthony Bosson, 28 years old, of 113-13 Atlantic Avenue, Richmond Hill, a radio engineer, disappeared from home last Friday. Yesterday his sister, Mrs. Mary Schad, with whom he lived in Richmond Hill, received a letter for him from the Patent Bureau in Washington, announcing the issuance to Bosson of a patent for a radio device.Mrs. Schad reported her brother’s disappearance to the police of the Richmond Hill Station. She said he had devoted years to the development of a special radio, and for many months worked day and night to perfect an invention which he wanted patented, which, according to Mrs. Schad, was meant to “receive normally inaudible signals.” Mrs. Schad reported that her brother was of a uniquely creative type, and was guided in the development of his invention by images he got in dreams.Bosson was impatient to hear from Washington after he applied for the patent, and always hurried home in the evening to see if the expected letter had arrived. Mrs. Schad reported he had been more than usually agitated in recent days.Friday night he failed to come home, and has not been seen by his family or friends since. He had $248 with him on the day he disappeared. He is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 135 pounds. He wore a brown suit and brown overcoat.

You simply cannot leave your followers hanging! What happened to him. If it is unknown, and since you too are a "uniquely creative type" I think you should take it upon yourself to finish the story for us. A challenge.

Well, how can I not rise to that challenge? I shall set to work. And I'll promise to try not to write in Buster to it. SOMEHOW!!
