<p>Wow, good thing his roomies really care about him, egad, that was a depressing read</p>

<p>Yeah, person is missing for 6 weeks, and now they make a joke of it</p>

<p>sigh</p>

<p>Y'know what I'm thinkin'? I'm thinkin' that given that tomorrow is April 1, maybe there's something not quite <em>serious</em> about this article? Hmmm?</p>

<p>Um, it actually says April Fool in the mast.</p>

<p>Funny, though.</p>

<p>Very Good. Sorry it had to be you CGM.</p>

<p>except... it's really not funny. I thought this thread was going to be about the missing student at TCNJ</p>

<p>well, april fools i get, but with kids missing, it was just mean, and think if your child was missing and someone made fun like that</p>

<p>sorry, some jokes are not funny</p>

<p>Madison was the site of a famous fake missing student case just two years ago--so it is funny. </p>

<p>its not funny because when real people go missing, it involves real families</p>

<p>how about a story about a dead baby..hahaha</p>

<p>read these if you still think missing teens is funny</p>

<p>i have sent a letter to the newspaper complaining about the joke</p>

<p>it was truly tasteless, with a real college student missing</p>

<p>Guess we can cross you off The Onion subscription list. </p>

<p>I am sure the Cardinal staff will be duly chastened. Please forward me their reply, if any.</p>

<p>I like the onion just fine, but timing in this world is everything</p>

<p>I student is missing in the bahamas, another was missing, and found dead, a student is currently missing</p>

<p>As a mother, i find the joke insensative and cold</p>

<p>I read some of the other stuff, it was okay, not really funny, but eh</p>

<p>Very not funny situation to make jokes about.</p>

<p>My heart goes out to the family of the missing TCNJ student. I hope somehow he is found safe.</p>

<p>Most UW students have never even heard of the College of NJ. I'm sure they were thinking about the two year anniversary of Audrey Seiler.</p>

<p>perhaps, but considering these are newspaper people, and this missing student is in the news, ya gotta wonder</p>

<p>The story has not made the Madison papers nor the Seattle papers. Not really big news yet for most of the US.</p>

<p>CNN Greta Sustern Show covering TCNJ John Fiocco...missing student ....homicide investigation- 10-11 PM East Coast ............
Major News in NJ and Phila area !</p>

<p>A poster on another forum I frequent is a friend of the family of the missing TCNJ student. I think the April Fools missing student post was in poor taste and not humorous under any circumstances.</p>

<p>Here is an update of some info regarding the missing student I found on another thread</p>

<p>Blood found from missing student

THE TIMES OF TRENTON
Forensic tests have confirmed that blood found in a trash bin on The College of New Jersey campus in Ewing this week is from John Fiocco Jr., the 19-year-old freshman missing since early Saturday, law enforcement sources said last night</p>

<p>In the Fiocco case, investigators may search a landfill in lower Bucks County, Pa. A portion of the landfill, in Tullytown, Pa., has been sectioned off to prevent more trash from being dumped there, a source said. </p>

<p>Officials at the company that hauls trash from the campus, Midco Waste Systems, and the landfill operator, Waste Management, could not be reached for comment.</p>
