This is strange. A "smart" kid probally got mixed up into something bad for him. This is not a normal situation. Very sad, and very strange. [:(] [V]

[locomutt]

MAN,

That is very sad.
And I agree with Jim,something was going on.

[Willy2]

That's a very sad story. Sorry to hear about it. [:(]

To paraphrase the Bard: There's something rotten in the state of Kansas. Not often someone ties themselves to the tracks. A tragic loss, to be sure. If "rumors" are flying, there is most likely more than is being told, and I, too, doubt that it's good. My thoughts to out to his loved ones.

[cherokee woman]

Amen Larry.

I SINCERELY HOPE the authorities find whomever tied him to the tracks and USE the
baleing wire on THEM.

PLEASE let us all pray for that young man's family and friends and for the train crew
who found him tied to the tracks.

[BaltACD]

There has to be much more to the story that will have to be discovered and prosecuted.

RIP

[TrainFreak409]

That has to be a homicide, if he was tied to the tracks. Kansas police officers had better do some heavy investigating on this one.

May he rest in peace.

[:(!]Those that commited the crime, should be put through the same, life, or leathal injection doesn't seem harsh enough.[:(!]

Pardon me saying the above, but it is definately sick, twisted, wrong, and uncalled for to murder someone like that.

May God rest his soul, and help his parents and family get through this awful tragedy. It sounds like he was hanging out with the wrong crowd.

Take care,

We had an "accident" somewhat like that here in Arkansas in the late 1980s. Two young men were found "asleep" on the tracks. That is AFTER the train ran over them. There was no movement before the "accident" and certainly none afterward. This "accident" was featured on the show that Robert Stack hosted about unsolved mysteries. There are many rumors, even today, that they saw something or heard something they shouldn't have and whatever it was cost them their lives. They were both mid teens I believe. I don't believe there has ever been a trial. Another sad but true story. [:(] [V] [:(]

In Orlando, FL in the early 90's, for about 4 months once or twice a week a train would run over a person laying across the tracks....they would never move and would never look toward the sound of the trains....by the time the police, corner, medical examiner and probably the dog catcher were brought to the scene to investigate and perform their duties....4 to 6 hours would elapse. Ultimately it was determined that there was a turf war in the Orlando drug trade and the railroad was being used to 'grind up' the bodies and destroy or mutilate the evidence that the deceased contained.

[espeefoamer]

[:(!]This is a very disturbing story. I hope the police find the degenerates who did this,and bring them to a swift and much deserved justice.[:(!]

That's creepy, imagine being tied to the tracks, and just hoping a train won't come by...

The sounds of the whislte would be one mighty scary sound.

No one would have wanted to have been in the young mans shoes. This is if he even had any on. Sounds like more than a murder, possible sexual assult, or even worse. But now that is all speculation.

And what about the engine crew? IF they saw him before the "hit" what terror went through their minds. This is not a good story, not for the young man's family or the engine crew.

I hope that all who read about this will certainly be more mindful of events around them and take care of themselves and watch out for their friends too.

Please don't put yourself into a situation with people of unknown character. Be careful and mindful of events and avoid places and people who might do you harm. These words come much to late for a young man of 19 years but maybe someone else can benefit from them. I certainly hope so.

Jim, I agree with your last reply, along with several other's replies.

AMEN

i have some bad news[V]

there have been no arrests in this case at all so far.[:0][:0]

[zardoz]

Quoted from the article:
"The Sumner County Sheriff's Department is not saying whether it considers the death a homicide."

Yea, must have been a suicide; got all depressed and tied himself to the tracks.

Sounds like a serious donut shortage at the Sumner County Sheriff Department, causing a drop in blood-sugar levels, resulting in less-than-stellar operations.

[JoeKoh]

my condolances to the family.
stay safe

i wonder how he got depressed..

the thing about the sherrifs is right, for all i know there is no donut shop in sumner county

[Anonymous]

in the article they said "be patient and we will solve it"

stupid redneck sherrifs........
they probably have a large onut shortage because all thy do is go hmmmmm all day and then go "we didnt find anything"

[88gta350]

Do you guys have any idea how to conduct a murder investigation? I doubt this area sees many murders, so if the department is investigating it itself (doubtful) they likely don't have the latest technolgy or great man power to get it done. If the killers didn't leave any evidence or the train destroyed it all, then there's nothing for the police to do except hope someone comes forward with information. Because a murder goes unsolved does not mean the police sat around "eating donuts all day". It's not as easy as CSI makes it look. Believe me when I say they'd like to catch them too.

the KBI has almost no money because wichita has all of it for building a ton of bridges for US 54 so therefore the KBI has retards as investigators

Yesterday, Friday, police ruled the teenager's death a suicide. There was no evidence found about it being a homicide. kcstar.com has an article about it. It is free to sign up.

I still don't think we are getting the whole truth. The first article stated the young man was tied to the tracks. How do you tie yourself to the tracks? Sorry folks, something is still fishy here.

I didn't find the second article that Russell talked about. I even typed in the young man's name and it came back as nothing found.

I would also bet the young man's family doesn't agree with the official finding.
