The unexplained death of Patrick Rust will be profiled on the Simon Barrett show on Blog Talk Radio on Sunday, August 14, at 4 p.m. Eastern.
Patrick was a sergeant in the Army’s 10th Mountain Diviaion headquartered at Fort Drum near Watertown, New York. He survived deployments toIraq andAfghanistan, only to die mysteriously right here in his own country, not far from where he was born.
Patrick went missing from a bar in Watertown on March 16, 2007. Six months later his remains were found in a farmer’s field approximately three miles from that tavern. It is unknown how he got to that location. He didn’t have a car and it’s doubtful he’d have walked there on a cold March night. There was no evidence of robbery and his remains showed no trauma. The cause and manner of Patrick’s death remain undetermined.
On behalf of the Rust family, Bill Sullivan, owner of Forensic Consulting Specialties in Syracuse, New York, and investigator Denny Griffin are seeking explanations to the questions the autopsy couldn’t answer. They will join Simon and the panel to discuss the history of the case and the current status of their investigation.
