MissingInfo
Mr. Charles duke was last seen in la junta, co on august 16, 2003. He and a companion, pam eddings, were traveling in a blue and gray minivan in the vogel canyon area of la junta. According to eddings, the van became high-centered and they decided to abandon it and walk back to town. Eddings said she was unable to make the trip and mr. Duke left her at around noon and went for help; he never arrived home and has never been heard from again. A rancher eventually found eddings and took her back to la junta. An extensive search on foot and by air failed to find charles duke. In late september 2003, six weeks after mr. Duke's disappearance, a residence he owned which was occupied by his niece and her family caught on fire after an explosion which was determined to be arson. The fire has not been connected to mr. Duke's disappearance and his case remains unsolved. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to please contact the otero county sheriff's office.Agency

Medical examiners struggled with inconclusive autopsy reports. But helen c.
