I don't want to go back to Mesaba animal hospital. iv been there twice, and they never really helped.

C. H. Bordwell (1944)

Keewatin and Hibbing, Minnesota.

C. H. Bordwell was picking berries in northern Minnesota when he got lost.

Missing 411 Facts

David Paulides writes (EUS, p. 14): "A search was conducted of the area where Bordwell was last seen, and he was not located. Again, a healthy person disappears, is never found, and the search is terminated. I want all readers to take a breath here and realise this is a human life that was completely lost. Bordwell wasn’t lost in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. He was eighteen miles from his house. How does this happen?”.

Deconstruction

Yes, how does this happen?

St. Cloud Times (02 Aug, 1944) explains what happened: “C. H. Bordwell, musical director of Keewatin schools, was back at his home today, after being missing for 48 hours. He was found yesterday afternoon by Ernest and John Schutte, mine workers who operate a store here. Bordwell disappeared Sunday while picking berries. In the 48 hours he was missing he had traveled less than four miles from the place he was last seen in the little swamp country.”.

St. Cloud Times - 02 Aug, 1944

Being lost took its toll on the musical director. Globe-Gazette (02 Aug, 1944) states: “Searchers found Bordwell sitting in mud and water in the Little Swamp country south of Hibbing, completely exhausted, disheveled and torn from 2 days and night of wandering in the woods. Bordwell told his rescuers he had been trying to follow the railroad tracks by listening for the engine whistles but was stopped by the heavy undergrowth.”.

Analysis

David Paulides claims the search was terminated and I wonder what Paulides' source is? Did he find a newspaper article that says the search was terminated? Where does this information come from?

In a way David Paulides is right: the search was terminated... when Bordwell was found by Ernest and John Schutte. Credit where credit is due.

This is yet another "unexplained" Missing 411 case that was explained and solved decades ago. Please note Bordwell says he was stoppe

Over 4000 NBA players were born in the United States, none are from Vermont. Let's look at the others.

*Edit/extra info at the bottom*

Alabama (87 players)

All-Time: Charles Barkley (Leeds) - 22.1/11.7/3.9 (1984-2000) - The Round Mound of Rebound, the 1992-93 MVP, NBA analyst Charles Barkley finished his illustrious career as an 11 time All Star and currently is 6th in all time offensive rebounds, 20th in total rebounds, and 31st in points.

Active: DeMarcus Cousins (Mobile) - 21.0/10.8/3.2 (2011- ) - DeMarcus Cousins was one of the best offensive big men in the league during his prime. Unfortunately, due to multiple serious injuries has struggled to get back on the court the past few years but is currently playing for the Houston Rockets.

Alaska (1 player)

Only: Mario Chalmers (Anchorage) - 8.9/2.5/3.7 (2008-2018) - Famously a member of the Big 4 in Miami, Mario Chalmers won two championships starting for the Heat. He is still playing pro basketball in Greece.

-----

Arizona (17 players)

All-Time: Sean Elliot (Tucson) - 14.2/4.3/2.6 (1990-2001) - Two-time All-Star for the Spurs, Sean Elliot's number 32 jersey was retired in 2005. After his first all-star season he was traded by the Spurs for Dennis Rodman, averaged 12 points, and traded back the next season where he became an all-star again the season afterwards.

Active: Marvin Bagley III (Tempe) -14.6/7.6/1.0 (2018- ) - Most famous for being drafted before a superstar and getting injured. I swear he's pretty good, I think.

-----

Arkansas (54 players)

All-Time: Scottie Pippen (Hamburg) - 16.1/6.4/5.2 (1988-2004) - The ultimate Robin, one of the best perimeter defenders ever, and a 6-time champion Scottie Pippen remains as the most underrated player of all time, well maybe not anymore.

Active: Mike Conley (Fayetteville) -14.9/3.0/5.7 (2008- ) - One of the most common answers to "Who is the best player to never be an All-Star?" Mike Conley was the starting point guard for the Grit and Grind Grizzlies and currently seems to be having another comeback season on the Utah Jazz.

-----

California (416 players)

All-Time and Active: Kawhi Leonard (Los Angeles) - 18.8/6.4/2.8 (2012- ) - The most populous state in the nation guarantees a tough choice and disagreement, but I'm going with Kawhi Leonard. The two-time Finals MVP and two-time DPOY was one of the best perimeter defenders in NBA history during defensive prime and is one the best players in the league today.

1. Locations: Hibbing, Minnesota (state count 14: CA CO IL IN IA KS MI MN MO NE OH OK PA WI). I wonder what >!Donna!< was up to during this episode?
2. Another supernatural-siblings noughties show featuring someone called Jenkins having been kidnapped >!and eventually dying!<. Fitting that the woman who played the first one played a prominent role in the Bloody Mary episode
3. That's a much scarier cat appearance than in >!Yellow Fever!<
4. Aliases: Officer Greg Washington (Dean). Good detail that Dean doesn't ID himself correctly to a cop, since he's supposed to be dead (which the episode later brings up explicitly). Good job Kathleen's file on Dean didn't include a photo
5. This would seem to be before they learned to >!hack!< traffic cams
6. I like to imagine that the female voice we can hear on Kathleen's police radio is >!Donna!<'s
7. Once again Dean's alias is called out - a running theme of >!this season!<
8. Dean rarely gets to tell such emotional truth to strangers this much
9. These guys remind me of >!Ramsey Bolton!<
10. I wonder if Missy is her real name or just an attempt by her family to dehumanise and thus condition her?
11. Dean and Sam both show their resourcefulness while captive, in this episode. So does Kathleen.
12. 'Demons I get; people are crazy'. Ironic given we later learn that demons >!are people driven extra crazy with evil during their time in Hell!<
13. This is the second episode in a row to show Sam and Dean how much worse it could have been to have a family than theirs was
14. The jar of teeth gives me an Auschwitz vibe
15. Dean Gets Off A Good One with his line about not marrying your sister. Then, immediately an even better one with 'Eat me! No wait, you actually might'. Yowza yowza yowza, childrens
16. We know from >!late Season 10!< that it's indeed true that if you hurt Dean's >!sibling!<, he's going to >!kill you all!<
17. I wonder if this episode inspired the Torchwood episode 'Countrycide' that aired a few months later. The main perp looks very similar, plus the line >!Because it makes me happy!< is a similar answer to 'Because it's fun', given in answer to the same question of why
18. I heard this was based on a real case, which is what gave us the title. People are crazy.

Do your worst!

It really does, I swear!
