Murdered student found in cave through a will
In a Watoga State Park area mystery a student named Smith disappeared and was found dead in a cave after a complex search. Neighbors and commune members reported visions of the body, bonfires and witchcraft lore arose, but police found no proven link. Hauer, a neighbor, faced separate concerns including a killed horse and mounting fear before vanishing. Police tracked Hauer’s car and truck. Smith’s bicycle remained missing.
