So, there's this kid, Joey Kaiser, and he's been missing since Tuesday morning. He goes to my school, a junior. And....we have absolutely no idea where he is. He has not contacted anybody since Tuesday (April 20th). He is bipolar so everyone is extremely worried. We don't even know if he's alive or not. There's a police officer patrolling our hallways now, in case he shows up or if people have information.

UPDATE (5-24)~Still no information on Joey. He is without his medication also. Nobody really knows the cause of his runaway. He left with a bike with one pedal and his location is still unknown.

Second ArticleUPDATE (6-1)~There is still no trace of Joey and we are nearing two weeks.
UPDATE (6-9)~He may have ditched his bike and used his skateboard (with graffiti-type lettering saying "STEEL JESUS") to escape.
UPDATE (6-12)~His shoe was found on the other side of the river, opposite his bike. Authorities believe some of his teenage friends are holding him somewhere. A reward has been posted for $5,000 we are hoping if someone does have him they will turn him in the for reward.
UPDATE (6-22)~It's been over a month since he left and there has been no sign of him for a week or two. Multiple bodies have been found in the Mississippi River while divers were searching for him. None of them have been him and one is still unidentified.

FINAL UPDATE [8-22-08]~On August, 19, 2008 Joey Kaiser's remains were pulled from the Mississippi River in St. Paul, MN. His body was so decomposed that they could not even tell the gender at first. Though they say the identification may take up to two weeks, we all know what will happen. There has been no mention of how he got into the river. Joey Kaiser, 17, a senior at CDH, brother, son, friend, will never be forgotten.
