Feb-21-1978 Search For Missing Student Stephen Kubacki

 





February-21-1978 Stephen Kubacki's abandoned skis and his backpack were found by a group of snow mobilers. Stephen (23) was a college student, set to graduate that same year when he decided to go for a cross-country ski arounf the Saugatuck area and was expected to be gone for a couple of days. The skis were found at the edge of Lake Michigan and the footprints that could be seen in the snow stopped abruptly, it was believed that Kubacki had fallen into the lake and his body would float to the surface as it began to thaw. 

Stephen was born into a working class family, his father worked at a local factory and his mother worked as a secretary. He gradated from Deerfield Academy as a day student. He went on to study a major in German, after swapping his choice a handful of times. He wrote for the college newspaper and he is described as being free spirited with a keen interest in Dungeons And Dragons. 

While the majority of people who knew Stephen started setting about adjusting to life without him, one person did not give up hope of finding him, his mother. She hired a private investigator to look into the disappearance of her son. 

On May 5th of 1979 Stephen Kubacki woke up lying in a field in Pittsfield, Massachuusetts, a whopping 700 miles east from where he is believed to last been skiing. He recognised some of the area and made his way to his aunt's house, which was 20 miles away from Pittsfield. We can only imagine the shock she got that morning as her nephew who had been missing for almost 15 months walked through her door. 

Stephen's reappearance sparked many questions and interest. He was wearing clothes that did not belong to him,he had a backpack full of maps that he did not recognise as his own, he had a t-shirt from the Wisconsin marathon, new trainers, new glasses and when questioned he claims that he felt like he had been doing a lot of running. 


Stephen Kubacki has repeated that he was in a sane state of mind when he set out on his skiing trip and the last thing he can recall from that day was feeling cold and the  darkness surrounding him. He also claims that he was in a sane state of mind when he returned. 

How is it possible that he disappeared, without a trace, from the side of the lake?

Where was he for almost 15 months? 

The Lake Michigan Triangle has been linked to many UFO sightings, people have asked, was he maybe abducted by aliens? 

Did he suffer a mental break and just need that time away from life to gather his thoughts and have no responsibilities? 

Stephen's reluctance to take to media or give interviews only led to the growing mystery surrounding the case.

March 31st 1978: The Disappearance of Paul Rudolph Alwardt

Paul Alwardt was a 17 year old boy originally from Martha's Vineyard but living in Falmouth where he worked for Melvin Reine at his waste haulage company. His mother had gone missing when Paul was a baby. With a believed drug problem, she was not able to cope with being a mother to Paul. His father, also named Paul, settled with his son in Martha's Vineyard where he grew up. Paul Senior was not without his problems either, these problems seemed to centre around alcohol and Paul Junior was left to fend for himself a lot. Paul was bullied as a child due to a deformity which caused him to have an extra row of top teeth. The constant bulling and harassment Paul received in his early years caused him to become rebellious and act out as he developed into his teens. As Paul Senior was often busy with his own life and problems, Paul spent a lot of his time hanging out on the streets and this is how he began working for Melvin Reine at his business, Five Star Enterprises. Reine had a re...

May 10th 1994: The Execution of John Wayne Gacy

Image
Born in Chicago on March 17th 1942 John Wayne Gacy was the middle child to John Stanley Gacy and Marion Elaine Robinson. His father was a mechanic, while his mother looked after the children and kept the family home. John was close to his mother and two sisters but had a difficult relationship with his father. His father had served in The First World War and was prone to drinking a lot. He was physically abusive towards his wife and children but John got a much harder time than the others. As a child he would be called dumb and stupid by his father and be called a sissy when his mother would try to shield him from the harsh beatings. From a young age, his father instilled the beatings with the fact that John was a Mamma's boy and probably grow up to be a queer. The negative connotation to the idea of being gay is something that is believed to have shaped the life that John Wayne Gacy would go on to lead.  In 1949 John and another boy were caught fondling a young girl and when John ...
