Thank you Sarah.

You were there from the start and really appreciate you keeping this page.

It made the Middlebury campus “uncomfortable” when Nick went missing.

The number of students who came out to search for Nick numbered less than a half dozen.

You should feel uncomfortable.

This is here to stay. A lot of Midd Blog’s coverage is archived in this section and this page continues to get many hits a day. I think it would also be insensitive to remove it because several people left messages for Nick and his family. Moreover, just because the situation has been “resolved” doesn’t mean that many people on this campus do not continute to grieve for the loss of Nick.

Is it time yet to take down this tab? I’m glad it’s finally resolved, but I’m a bit uncomfortable by this glaring reminder.

I’m glad that the search teams have finally found Nic’s body, and sorry for the family that they have to bury their son, no one should have to bury a child. RIP, Nicholas.

I live about ten minutes away from Middlebury and think about this everyday. As Nanci said, yes it has taken them a long time to do the River searches due to the ice just disappearing about a couple of weeks ago, but before that they were searching campus almost every weekend. A few times the Addison County firemen set up searches where 2 from each department came and searched. My dad is a local fireman and he helped out with some of the searches. The town and other local towns I live around are so small that if there was anything to be said then people would know about it by now. We are all so close that everyone knows about it by the next day. I pray for him and his family/friends. I hope for there sack that an answer is found soon.

I live in Middlebury – yes, it did take too long to start the search. However, most of you probably don’t relate to our outside conditions. The rivers have just recently become searchable although debris from the winter will make this a very long job. As a local person I can tell you firsthand that everyone here is effected by this and have tried to help where we can. As far as the cops being corrupt – no way! We are a small town and don’t have things like this happen very often so maybe their skills are rusty ( your term is inept ) but they have been working on this. They are as dedicated as they can be – there is no way they are covering anything up!!!

what kind of inept police department waits so long to start a search? ive been hearing these cops are corrupt and are known for cover-ups…do these “cops” have kids that go to this school?

I go to Ithaca College and the same kind of instance just occurred to William Jacobson, however, they found his body this morning in a pond on campus. There have been quite a few other cases of young, college men showing up missing which are then found in close-by bodies of water in the NY/Vermont area in the last ten years.. I hope Nick’s case is not related to this, I will pray for his safety. God bless him and everyone around him. No one should have to go through this.. no one. RIP Willie*

I have Nick in my prayers and have added his name to my church’s prayer chain. It seems so odd that nobody knows anything. I’m wondering if some of the students aren’t holding back something. Nick was a freshman. Was he a victim of some college initiation prank gone bad- and people are afraid to tell what they know? Nick is a good looking young man, could someone have abducted him and forced him into some kind of pornographic video against his will? Every possibily needs to be looked into.

I was reading on his page that friends went to his room on Feb 6th and found his “only coat, laptop and ipod”.
If that was his only coat- why would they wait until Feb. 9th or 10th to see if returned from a camping trip with friends?
He would not go camping without his coat, or ipod for that matter…
I think the frineds maybe know something, and are afraid to come forward. It sounds weird, they all called him repeatedly, and then went to search his room??? If he was going camping, he would have told his friends and he most certainly would have told his mom- whom he talked to daily via email, text and phone….
Maybe he got too drunk and died in some freak accident and noone wants to take the blame since he was only 19…..
I could be wrong, and I hope I am….and I will keep praying- but some how the actions taken if the days following his disappearance dont make sense.

My thoughts and prayers are with Nick’s family and friends. I was struck by the story of this promising young man, and hope that this remains a priority in the news.

Nicholas must not be forgotton here in Albuquerque / New Mexico. It seems that the media has moved on to other stories as they consider this and other stories “old news”. Please don’t let this happen. Please contact the news stations here in Albuquerque with every bit of information that is available so as to keep his name alive. Hound the heck out of the news stations!

Hello,

I am one of Nicholas’s cousins, and thank you all so much for keeping information about Nicholas circulating.

The family has set up a web site at: http://www.nicholasgarza.org

We would appreciate if you could link to it in your postings about Nicholas. As the search progresses, the family intends to use this site to continue sharing and collecting information, and to accept donations to a search fund being set up for the Garza family.

Thank you!
