Yakima WA: MISSING PERSONS, any assistance is appreciated, they were en route to the Gorge

Did they try buying coke in East Portland? 

 

     I'd ask that you please be respectful of the situation Knotesau, please pray for Josiah & John, thank you.  It's my hope that someone from the northwest may be able to help, these are good people.  Josiah is second generation Grateful Dead Family.

What do you think happened? 

 

     I have no idea, I just found out about it an hour ago, they were driving a blue 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid from California to the Dead & Co shows at the Gorge [June 7th & 8th], the car was found in an orchard somewhere in Yakima County, WA.

Have they ever taken lsd? How old were they?

 

     Knotesau, why don't you just leave it at that for the night, thanks.  Please donate if you'd like to help, it is appreciated, thank you.  I'm sure many of you know Josiah's mother Liz, it is her worst nightmare, stranger things have happened that someone may know someone in the Yakima area that may know something about what may have happened, again...it is truly appreciated, thank you.

What kind of help are you looking for? 

How can anyone help you without information?

 

     Josiah “Jo” Hilderbrand, 25, of Piercy, Calif. and Jon Cleary, 48, of Huntington Beach, Calif. were last seen June 7 en route to a Dead & Co. show. The car they were traveling in — a light blue 2004 Honda Civic hybrid with California plates — was found abandoned June 8 in an orchard at 8100 Lateral B Road in Toppenish, said Casey Schilperoort, public information officer for the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office.

     Those with information regarding the men’s whereabouts, what happened to them or events leading up to their disappearance are asked to call the sheriff’s office at 509-574-2500, reference case No. 19C09726.

Bump I hope your friends are OK

Make sure to post this some places that people will see it 

 

     Thanks Bucky, I appreciate that, if everyone could, please throw this on any social media you may have access to, especially if it may reach people in the Yakima region or even people that may have done that leg of the tour, thank you.  Matt & Liz were at virtually every west coast show between '90-'95, Josiah was born in Northern California in '94, he's a good kid.

Is this one of his neck tats?

     I believe so, yes

Sending positive vibes..

I have been trying to follow this story.  What is the latest development?

Here’s the latest update from the go fund me page linked above: 

“We have received several generous donations from people all over the country. I am grateful to see the community gather around Liz and Josiah and Jon and his family. The donations will hopefully provide additional reward money to increase the chances of receiving information leading to the location of these beloved people. Thank you for your generosity. Please keep sharing.”

 

“a former resident of both Humboldt and Mendocino County”

hopefully they aren’t on murder mountain I saw a documentary on those counties ooofah. 

Ha now that’s how to properly open Bobby’s vodka

Some real rough players in Yak. If a person were to start inquiring about drugs without knowing who they were dealing with it would be no surprise to end up dead in short order if you approached non-whites. 

Cartel affiliated gangs have been established there for a long time due the large old Hispanic community. 

 

 

 

 

I get a distinct meth vibe from these two.

Yakima is meth central.  Hope for a positive outcome, but this doesn't look too good.

On another note, the phrase "Grateful Dead Family" is ridiculously overused.

The younger one looks familiar, I have seen him at dnb concerts before.

 

>>>>On another note, the phrase "Grateful Dead Family" is ridiculously overused.

i take it you don’t have your wings? It’s a pretty big deal 

I take it you don’t have your wings? It’s a pretty big deal 

LOLOLOL. "Grateful Dead Family" is way overused.......and there are no badges or pins.......

Carry on, this is a sad story.

Anyone claiming wing status in this day and age should be avoided.

>>>in this day and age

when was it ok 

before people started buying them on amazon?

There was a FB post that said their car was found and based on evidence the FBI suspects foul play and is involved...I hope the best for all

Another vote for meth vibe.

Sad story and a reminder of the darkness that lingers behind all the glitter and rainbows of the scene.   Hope they find them ok, but doesn't sound good.   Toppenish where they found their car is on the Rez and that whole Yakima Valley area is pretty sketchy.  Go through there a lot but typically don't get off the boat when passing through. 

Situation stinks. Best of luck.

Hoping for a good ending.

Unfortunately doesn't sound too good.

Also, did anything become of the lady who went missing?

I forgot who's wife that was but I hope everything is okay.

Any fucking idiot in this thread that says they get a meth vibe needs to slow their roll and have some respect...This shit is real...and a horrendous situation for friends of ours...

Mckenna, I'm so sorry for your friends. It's a terrible situation, horrible. All of us who are parents can relate...

Sorry about the situation McKenna. Yes, real people and real family members, but honestly, the information is public and people will speculate on what they see with their eyes. Did you see the speculation regarding them on the websleuths link? Far more speculative than anything here, and they weren't speculating that these guys were just two boyscouts making shelters in the woods. 

Looks like the FBI suspects homicide. Condolences to the family. 

Even more of a meth vibe than the Janet Egan mystery.

 No question there are bad egg natives and that's why I said "non-whites". Hispanic gangs trying to throw off the law would dump bodies on the res just to stick it to the natives. Much of what goes down is gangs/perps vs rivals vs decimated drug dependent individuals. They tend not to mess with citizens (doing so will bring the heat hot and haevy and they can play just as hard as any gang banger) so to speak and hence it doesn't get a load of press. View of some is let them do each other in. There are no secrets on the res... just people who won't talk. Res is big and natives could make things disappear no question. Where are the 27 missing women from the res???

 

The fact the gal hasn't been charge tells me they likely rolled her. 

 

 

 

 

This whole thing is not Fam at all 

 

     Traveling from Piercy, California to the Gorge Amphitheater takes one through Yakima, to suggest they were engaged in nefarious activity is highly speculative and somewhat illogical, if they were seeking x, y or z [as some are seemingly hypothesizing] they would have a better chance finding whatever you're eluding to at the parking lot of the venue than asking random locals they happened upon in Yakima, that just doesn't make sense.

     As far as Josiah being 2nd generation Grateful Dead Family, while I realize that term gets thrown around a good bit, in this instance it's an accurate statement, I remember him when he was a toddler, he's a good kid.

     I'm still hoping and praying for a positive outcome, I truly appreciate everyone doing the same, it's my hope that this thread may find someone who may know something that may be constructive, thank you.

 

 

 

IMG_5450.PNG

sorry your friends are missing.

 

heard the hoopa res is not a place to fuck around either...

to suggest they were engaged in nefarious activity is highly speculative and somewhat illogical,

a kid in his early 20s traveling with a 40+ year old man with a long string of arrests for violent crimes to a dead show is a perfect breeding ground for nefarious activity...i dont think its illogical at all. ive seen this type of situation many, many many times in both the GD world and black market cannabis industry, and its very rarely some kind of unicorn and rainbows "family" thing...its usually predatory. im sorry but in my experience 40+ year old men with histories of arrest for violent crime that want to hang out with kids in their early 20's are almost always bad news. ive been there, ive been that teenager or 20 year old rolling around with some creepy immature drug using grown ass man and ive seen it plenty of times with other kids. its always been bad news. 

im sorry but i dont believe we live in a world where random strangers just jump out of the bushes and kidnap or kill grown men for no reason.

Agree, daylight. Also not totally outside the realm of possibility they may have been carjacked.

Thinking the same...

What if they just picked up a rider along the way, and things went very wrong.

Again, positive vibes for all...no exceptions.

The mother has set a date for Josiah’s memorial service.  This is all so sad.

https://www.yaktrinews.com/news/memorial-planned-for-man-who-went-missin...

 

Heartbreaking for mom.  Not knowing what happened to her son.

Bryen, if you’re so close with the family how come you didn’t hear about this earlier?  You started this thread after his mom had already posted that he was presumed dead and you didn’t seem to even know about that.

Words of wisdom from Daylight.  

>>>>You started this thread after his mom had already posted that he was presumed dead

oh shit I didn’t notice that. That’s strange. I’m glad I didn’t post it on all of my social media like OP suggested.

is this why Rick Hunter was giving it to OP from the get-go? 

 

     I found out through mutual friends Saturday evening, within an hour or so I posted this thread in the hope that someone may know someone who may know something about what may have happened, given the fact that these guys may have been victims of a horrific crime I'd ask that you reserve judgment until the facts surface.  The reason I posted the suggested route from Piercy to the Gorge was to illustrate that it makes very little sense to have driven all that way and be an hour or so from the venue, then stop in Yakima to hit up random locals for this or that...to me, it just seems somewhat implausible.  

     It's an unspeakably sad situation, I haven't written any books on how to proceed, I just thought that given the scenario they were en route to a Dead & Co. show that it may be beneficial in some way to post the information on this message board...if I could do something more effective I would.  I appreciate everyone's thoughts and input, as well as your prayers for a positive outcome, although the investigation has shifted to a homicide investigation, they don't know that it is a certainty and stranger things have happened than these guys are alive somewhere.  I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers for what would be a true miracle, thank you.

In the last news story posted above regarding the memorial service, its states: "Josiah's mother has referred to Cleary as a person of interest."   This would tend to support what Larry was saying about older burnouts preying on younger kids and suggests it wasn't necessarily Mexicans, Indians, or other third parties behind the disappearance.    

What do these guys do for work? Did they have money? 

 

following the half + 5 rule is always advised too 

 

     Ken, I've looked at that article, I can't seem to find that quote, could you re-post the link?  Thank you.

>>>>I can't seem to find that quote,

That's weird.  I cut and pasted the quote straight from that last YakTriNews link above.  I see the article was updated at 1:34 pm and it appears the quote from the mom was removed.

 

     I appreciate it, it was also referenced on another site, I think it may have in fact been scrubbed from the article, it's certainly discouraging.

>>"Josiah's mother has referred to Cleary as a person of interest."  

Not surprised.  Guy has an extensive rap sheet and did a lot of time.  Shady.

     Thanks Knotesau...we're aware

I'll be up north tomorrow. I'll ask around.

     I appreciate that, I continue to pray for Josiah & Jon, stranger things have happened than they are found alive, positively visualizing that...it would be one of the great moments in a lot of lives.  Good things can and do happen.  Josiah as an infant was pure love and innocence, his eyes were full of curiosity and light...he's a good human being.

<<we're aware

 

I wasn't.

Thanks, Knot.

 

Sorry, but you can see the crazy in the older guys eyes.

That poor mother.

 

 

>>>>>Josiah as an infant was pure love and innocence, his eyes were full of curiosity and light

 

lol

 

Anytime you have to bring a child into the argument you’re losing.  

 

Also all laws named named after children are bullshit.

 

     Hey Timmy...why don't you go crawl back under your rock?  Thanks 

 

     In fairness, the point I was trying to make was as a little kid Josiah was an amazing human being full of positive energy...he's a good person.  

Article from yesterday's LA Times:

The way Bryen pretends that he knows people and has a deep connection to them screams loneliness.

So does hallucinatory/ bizarre opinions and  posting habits

 

Regardless peace to all

and a cautionary note to be careful and take care of each other

brst possible outcome and peace

 

     The context was to address the judgement being thrown about on this thread, I just wanted it to be known as a point of reference that Josiah is a good person...for all we know these guys may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, hopefully not, it's quite possible they're still alive somewhere, but let's try to be respectful of them, they are possibly victims out of complete happenstance, this is a horrific situation for the families involved, I'm repeating myself but I'd like it to be known here that Josiah is a good person.  Thank you.

>>>>>>>>Josiah as an infant was pure love and innocence, his eyes were full of curiosity and light

i would be interested in what indifference and darkness in an infants eyes looks like.

^ you've seen Chuckie, right?

 

     Fair enough...it's been a discouraging situation, I appreciate any positive energy you can spare, thank you.

> I just wanted it to be known as a point of reference that Josiah is a good person

 

That's sweet, Bry. You probably think of yourself as a good person too. Just needed it be known for a point of reference. Namaste. Blessings. And Positive energy.. gag me with a spoon. 

 

>...for all we know these guys may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, hopefully not, it's quite possible they're still alive somewhere, but let's try to be respectful of them, they are possibly victims out of complete happenstance, this is a horrific situation for the families involved<

 

 

Regardless of the circumstances surrounding their disappearance,  it is indeed a horrific situation for the families. Hopefully these gentlemen are found safe. This is a nightmare scenario for any parent, and i hope that Mr Hildebrand's mother has the support she needs. Sorry to read this.

 

     Good evening Nancy.

     Brainstorming thoughts about it...if there's a dynamic that gives any cause for optimism at all it might be that it just seems so unfathomable, that is to say I can't recall having ever heard of a similar situation anecdotally, 2 able bodied men disappear 90 miles or so from their destination [after a 10 hour drive] without a trace and a month goes by and they can't figure out what happened?  I realize it may just be wanting to find any reason to remain hopeful, but it doesn't make any sense, so much so that maybe there's reason to believe it's not what it appears to be.  

     The recent LA Times article mentioned the texts from Jon's phone essentially saying they were almost to the venue...that kind of rules out any thoughts of them taking a quick excursion to an Indian reservation in the middle of the night.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's so illogical in a "big picture" perspective that maybe it's not as it appears [if that makes any sense].

     

 

     From the LA Times article:

    "Cleary was last heard from late June 6 when he sent text messages to at least four people, the friend said.The last message was that the two were about 90 minutes from Gorge Amphitheatre in Grant County, where other concert-goers were waiting to meet them, the friend said. It was sent around midnight the night before the June 7 concert."

    

The car was found in Yakima.

 

     80 miles from the venue 

 

IMG_5499.PNG

     

What's the latest, Bryen, or just google it?

 

    I'm unaware of any developments in the last day or so, it's discouraging, but I remain hopeful.  I've never heard of a crime scenario that makes less sense.  Something seems completely "off" about the whole thing.  Jon texts his buddies that are waiting for him at the venue that they are 90 minutes or so away at more or less the exact spot the car was located, he could have sent a text saying they were in danger, or they had picked up a hitchhiker, or that they were going to stop at an Indian reservation for the evening, but he texted the people who were waiting for them to arrive that they would be there shortly, I suppose if there's a significant development, in my opinion that would be it [per the LA Times article].

the petrified ginko forest seems interesting.

Sorry Bryen,  but any time a guy like Cleary is around, the possibility of a crime happening doesn't seem so far fetched. 

Would someone try to rob them of a pin collection? How valuable are they?

il_570xN.1776294436_ndmw.jpg

il_570xN.1823738407_fwji.jpg

 

     That may be a lot of people's first reaction, I get that...but the guy was at Shoreline, then the Hollywood Bowl, and according to his friend planned on doing the east coast dates...then is 80 miles away from the Gorge, texts his friends he's about to arrive, and then does what?  I just don't think it makes sense, I get that people may think that it does given his past, but I don't think it makes sense, if anything, he would be the kind of guy that could probably defend himself from a perpetrator, be it a hitchhiker or a carjacking, I don't believe he attacked Josiah, so I get that he has a sordid past, but I'm not sure that implicates him.  As far as that lending credence to the theory that he was looking for something prior to arriving on the lot, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night, 80 miles from the concert venue, it seems like one would have a much better chance finding whatever they might be looking for at the parking lot of the venue.  All I'm saying, is something seems very "off" about the whole thing, so much so that it may not be as it appears...also, the fact that they just vanished without a clue seems odd in this day and age.

Any recent updates?

 

     Absolutely nothing.

Unless one or both of them don't want to be found I'm thinking that they ran off of the road somewhere.  

Before cell service I was searching for a friend that was MIA for a week.  I had lent several k's of trees to him and was thinking of every bad scenario.  

He fell asleep at the wheel on 684 in NY and crashed down an embankment. The steering wheel and broken bones had him pinned in his truck.  A NY state cop, who after 3 days of catching a strange reflection in his mirrors as he passed, found him and saved his life.   He lived to beat me a few years later for bunch of $$, eventually OD'd and passed.  He was one hell of a drummer. 

 

Any updates?

Reach out to the Native American zoners and ask them if they can help.

^^^ lmao fuckin slacker

A line from the movie Friday After Next comes to mind -

I believe you done smoked yerself retarded

>>it seems like one would have a much better chance finding whatever they might be looking for at the parking lot of the venue.

That's assuming one of them didn't have a connection in the Yakima area. Given their backgrounds and travels you can't rule that out.

I have high placed friends in the tribe, chiefs daughter. She is as sharp as they come, a ray of light and the definition of upstanding and wouldn't associate with the dark side that drags their culture down. Like I said previously - just because the car was found on tribal land doesn't mean the tribe had anything to do with them or know anything. I would suspect gangs first for several reasons.

 

 

 

Seems to me they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and are victims of the same people that killed the other five as the above article suggests. Very sad.

Just speculating, but they were coming from weed country. Maybe they were dumping a large hefty bag and the deal went bad.

>>>>> I would suspect gangs first for several reasons.

 

I guess the tribe doesn't care if gangs give them a bad rap. 

Do tell, Astro. What types of gangs operate freely on The Yakama reservation? Or any Indian reservation, for that matter.

 

And no fair answering “the BIA”.

>>>Maybe they were dumping a large hefty bag and the deal went bad<<<

Maybe it was the other way around. It sounds like they were fully "on tour" and could have been holding a wad of cash fresh from the Shoreline and LA shows, looking to meet up and reload for the next leg, but were dealing with the wrong people.

No matter what the truth is, it's a bad deal for sure.

>>Do tell, Astro. What types of gangs operate freely on The Yakama reservation? Or any Indian reservation, for that matter.

 

I did not say gangs operate freely on the res. There is no gate to the res and you/anyone can come and go on most of it. As I understand it their car was found on the res. No bodies or evidence a crime even occurred there that I have heard.

I'm suggesting one of the drug/cartel related gangs are more likely to be involved because there are far more of those players up to their games regularly than native Americans and the missing people were into drugs by the sounds of it. 

With the tribe it's more rotten eggs than serious gangs. 

 

>>I guess the tribe doesn't care if gangs give them a bad rap.

Tribe doesn't have much say and I doubt MS-13 ask their permission. They aren't exactly pen pals either. 

Seems like a good move to dump the rig on the res and shift the focus. Particularly given those 5 murders not to long ago there. Additionally tribal law enforcement isn't as robust. Res would be an an excellent dumping ground for bodies.

Tribal shady figures numbers are minimal compared to the Hispanic operators. Would seem unwise to start a fight when you are out number 100-1 etc. 

 

 

Along Lance's line of thinking.. drugs-cocaine/tar/meth historically have always been below normal market prices in Yakima. I recall ozs of pure coke at $500.. as far back as the 80's, tested on a spectrometer. 

 

Be nice to resolve it for the families...

 

 

 

 

so, MS-13 killed them “because drugs”?

okay. Hopefully not. We’ll see. Takes a whole lot of what if’s for that theory to fall into place though.

Seems more of an opportunity crime to me. Wrong place, wrong time.

Especially considering there was basically a murder fest going on concurrently right up the street. Did it not also involve a carjacking?

The simplest explanation is usually going to be the most likely scenario

Im sure Bryan knows more than he tells, being so very close to the family and all.

 

 

     I know it's a heartbreaking situation for some very good people, I'm still trying to remain hopeful...if there's the slightest chance that someone may stumble onto this thread that may know something or know someone that may know something, or even possibly brainstorm a possible series of thoughts that may contribute to a positive outcome, however slight that chance may be, I would have been remiss not to post this thread a month ago.  I appreciate everyone's thoughts and any constructive discussion...it's an increasingly discouraging scenario, but stranger things have happened than somehow these two are found alive.

     A lot of the recent speculation has been centered on the White Swan incident, but they've had four people in custody for weeks, it seems like if the two situations were connected the FBI would have been able to get one of the four to say something by now.  There's so much about the case that makes no sense whatsoever that I'm holding out hope it's not what it appears to be.  

Maybe ask Josiah’s mom if maybe he was transporting or selling drugs.  I think Nedb might be on to something.

Or maybe the older guy was sex trafficking the younger one and something happened.

 

     Why don't you just crawl back under whatever rock you came from...that's the single most disgusting thing I've ever read on this message board, you truly are a deprived individual to have written it.  

Any new information?

You close with these folks, Bryen?

Best o' luck with this. Still waiting for information presumably.. 

{{{best possible outcome}}}

>>>>>you truly are a deprived individual to have written it.  

i hate to have to be “that guy” in a missing persons thread but I think the word you were looking for was “depraved”, unless perhaps you were implying that he didn’t get any love as a child or something like that, but I don’t think that’s what you were trying to say. 

 

     Depraved was the correct term, but I figured deprived was an equally accurate description.  It's a horrific situation, there's no update that I'm aware of.

Any news?

Not these shady tweakers again. Face Palm. 

I hope the rest of Bryen's tweaker friends and family are ok

 

     The thoughtlessness of certain people on this message board continues to amaze me, I'm guessing these were the types to stay in the dormitory when shows were close by...I will pray for Jon & Josiah this evening, please do so, it is truly appreciated, thank you.

The thoughtlessness of certain people on this message board continues to amaze me<<

Like gaslighting, "hippie" dipshits?

GFY.

So ,Bryen , all that aside is there any news?

My guess is that they chose to disappear,  or got killed.

Let's say they went hiking out in the Scenery,  and wild animals ate them;  eventually some other hiker might find a trace.

Or maybe they went swimming and drowned,  so either they could wash up somewhere or got eaten by Fish.
Probably the local gendarmes know something from whatever stuff they left in the car.

I'm thinking about it from the perspective of a guy who likes to Fish,  Hike,  Camp and such.  So if I was up in the wilderness and parked the car,  I'd maybe do a short day-hike explore with the fishing rods and just enough snacks / Beer to pick a good spot.

Then if it was a good spot,  come back for the tent and more Food / Beer / Coleman stove.

Otherwise,  if it was not a good spot to camp / fish or hike,  I'd get back in the vehicle and find a better spot.

If the car was found burned it's safe to say at least one of them is dead :(

New info Cleary's sister says he is presumed to have been murdered (meaning victim not a suspect)

man i feel bad for that young guys mom.  can't imagine the never ending pain she's going through.  

Posted by Deadheadland: Josiahs body has been found. A stranger found his remains, and now he can be properly laid to rest. Incredibly sad, but also relief in knowing.

His mom posted on Facebook:

TODAY WAS THE DAY WE’VE ALL BEEN PRAYING FOR!!!!  HE'S BEEN FOUND!!!!!

Wow, what bittersweet news.  Been following their story and it was not looking good as far as bringing him home.  So glad to hear she found her son's remains despite the circumstances.

Horrible news but glad they can hopefully find some peace.   

 

Did they find Jon Cleary's remains too?   

I hope I'm not wrong about this but in the hundreds of Facebook comments someone made reference that two bodies were found.

That would make sense.  Hope this brings some closure for their families.  R.I.P.

Hearts of Summer held in trust
Still tender, young and green
Left on shelves collecting dust
Not knowing what they mean
Valentines of flesh and blood
As soft as velveteen
Hoping love would not forsake
The days that lie between 

Peace 

glad there can be some closure. his mom seems like a very special person who loved her son dearly. so sad. 

His mom is CLASS

So, the one brother pulled the trigger on both murders and the other brother copped to lesser charges.

Just glad that some justice prevailed. Do they have the death penalty in Washington?
