The Missing - A Weekly Exposé of Lost Souls - Issue #12

May 09, 2008

In this week's edition of "The Missing," we revisit the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Trevor Paul Morse, a 30-year-old resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, who vanished in May 2007.

"I am the father of a missing adult male," Trevor's father, Rick Morse, wrote in a recent e-mail. "To say a little about Trevor Morse, and affirm who he was—and our prayers and hopes that he still is—Trevor was born and welcomed into our loving family in El Paso, Texas, on October 20, 1976.

Surveillance footage from a nearby shopping center showed Trevor pacing outside the building, but he eventually walked southwest, out of the camera's view, and disappeared. He has not been seen or heard from since.

"To make matters worse, in the midst of this emotional upheaval, this emotional roller coaster, we also have to endure what we perceive as a lack of cooperation by the very public officials that we put our trust in. Those very people we sought out and put our faith in to find our missing loved one do not answer phone calls, letters, and emails. How can these public officials not keep us in the loop? We, Trevor's parents, and his family and friends are asking...
