<p>I just read that there are many other students missing elsewhere, but I would still like to try to work with others to come up with new ideas to help.</p>
<p>Where is Matthew Wilson?</p>
<p>As a parent of another Rice Comp sci junior, I am very upset that there is no news on his disappearance in December.</p>
<p>Being an active member of College confidential I had an idea. Not that any of us really knows what happened, but what if all of the bright minds on here, worked together to piece together ideas for what might have happened or what needs to be checked that might have been overlooked.</p>
<p>I've been obsessing over this since he disappeared and there a a couple of things that I wonder about.</p>
<p>Why was the cell phone left at his apartment?.</p>
<p>Why did he take out $400 and then go back to his apartment and then disappear?</p>
<p>Where is his car? </p>
<p>Why did he plan on picking up his friend for a trip to the airport and then not show up.</p>
<p>As a parent of a fellow geek, I know most serious students would not desert their families, even if they don't talk to them everyday, nor would they ever not turn in papers or miss taking people where they said they would take them.</p>
<p>Did the police check email or phone messages to see with whom Matthew communicated before he went missing? The reason I ask that is that I kept wondering what the $400 was for. It came into my mind last night that maybe he went to buy something tech related, but not necessarily from a store. Could he have gone to someone's home to buy something he saw advertised on Craig's list, or something like it?? Maybe it was a fake ad? But where is the car? Does anyone else have any ideas or questions that might open up new ideas for the police? We've all read detective novels and watched shows in that genre. What is missing from the equation??</p>
<p>Let's see if all the bright sparks on this site can shine some light on this horrible disappearance.</p>
