A Mysterious Disappearance in the Middle of a Scandalous Catholic Cover-Up: Unsolved Mysteries (Part 11) | The Vanishing of Josh Guimond

Oddities on Elm Street

In 2002, 20-year-old Josh Guimond attended a small gathering with his friends on his catholic school’s college campus. After hanging out briefly, he decided to leave but would never be seen again. Police investigated his disappearance strictly from the angle that Josh had most likely fallen into a lake on campus and accidentally drowned. But those closest to him can’t seem to come to terms with this idea. According to his loved ones, Josh was incredibly upset with a recent scandal that was making headlines; one involving his very own catholic college. Monks living on campus were being accused of sexual abuse by a credible source. Not believing this theory that their son had just fallen into a lake, Josh’s parents take it upon themselves to hire a scent dog to try and follow his trail on the night of his disappearance. The dog takes them to the door of St. John’s Abbey, the college’s monastery—the very same monastery involved in the sexual abuse scandal. The scent dog is at first denied access to continue the search for Josh inside. Is the college hiding something or did something else entirely happen to Josh Guimond?
