Joseph David Wolfgang Pichler
Joe Pichler was last seen by a friend on January 5, 2006 in Bremerton, WA. He had spent the evening playing cards with some close friends. Everyone that saw him that evening described Joe as in a very good mood. They say he was not showing any signs of distress or depression. Several people tried to reach Joe later on and was unable to reach him so they reported him missing. On January 9, 2006 Joe's vehicle was found abandoned near the Wheaton Way and Sheridan Road intersection in Bremerton, WA behind a restaurant called "Taqueria Los Cazadores". It is located at 2805 Wheaton Way. Joe Pichler has not been seen since.
Police found a note which they felt was a suicide note inside the vehicle. Family members, however, described the note as only a poem that was buried in Joe's belongings and do not feel Joe committed suicide nor that he left a suicide note behind. Police also believe Joe possibly jumped from a nearby bridge. This theory also seems impossible due to the fact searchers did not track Joe's scent anywhere near the bridge and many feels he is NOT in the water. Family fears he has met with foul play and are desperately asking the public for help in searching for their missing son.
