Joseph (Joe) Michael Bushling
He was 27 from the army base at Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah on May 8, 2011.
Around 7:00 p.m., he called a friend and left a message, saying he'd run out of gas and that he was going to try to walk back to the Dugway Proving Ground. He also said he was very cold, that he'd lost his flip-flops and he was using his shirt as footwear. He said it was raining and he needed help. He never arrived back in Dugway and has never been heard from again.
On May 14, the Mitsubishi was found abandoned in a deep ravine off a gravel road in a very isolated area 64 miles from Dugway's main gate. Some of Bushling's belongings were inside the vehicle, and the keys were missing.
On May 16, Bushling's Arkansas Razorbacks hat was located in the desert six miles from the car. and his flip-flops.
The terrain where he disappeared is rough and desolate, with lots of caves, and cellular phone reception is poor to nonexistent.
Dugway had once served as a chemical weapons testing facility and there are caches of munitions concealed in the desert around the base.
At the time of his disappearance he was wearing blue jeans or shorts, and a t-shirt wrapped around his feet.
He was 5'9" tall, 190 lbs, with brown hair in a buzz cut and hazel eyes. He has an appendectomy scar on his abdomen and a scar from gallbladder surgery. He has the following tattoos: an American flag on his right shoulder, a Celtic design on his neck, the words "Jeremy 88-00" on the left side of his chest, and a tribal design extending from his left shoulder down to his elbow. A death certificate was issued for him in August 2014; the cause of death was given as exposure due to low temperatures and lack of protective clothing.
Bushling's father said that he was murdered and that the army covered it up.

ReplyDeleteDo you know the pin �� location of where vehicle/ items were found?
ReplyDeleteDugway Proving Grounds is kind of like Area 51. I doubt that one would be able to get close enough on Google Earth and such. I do not have the exact location where everything was found. If i ever find out i will update it.
