I'm about to ask an indelicate question....

[Spotdawg]

Is there any progress in the disappearance of Will Coltharp? Last Google reports have the lake where he disappeared, being dragged for remains. Now I hear that there are "Questions" about the situation. Maybe even recovery workers have found his personal computer at the bottom of the deep lake...but no remains.

I know enough about remains recovery that they should have found him by the 3rd or 4th day missing...even in a cold water environment.

There's something not right with this situation. Anyone in Nashville (or close to the situation) who can expound or add some information?

He was a friend of mine.

close as I can. Yesterday, the sheriff had a press conference in which he said the investigation remains a missing persons report. With that being said, there definitely have been some new findings that really are perplexing. Apparently, there is a credible witness that said he saw Will loading a cinder block into his kayak on that Sunday evening. Also, as you mentioned, they found his personal computer on the bottom of the lake. There is also a report of a gun case/holster found that apparently has been linked back to him....but no gun recovered. All this information seems to be being held very close to the vest and nobody seems to want to try to connect the dots in the public forum of the news. I search every day to see if there is more news but haven't seen anything in addition to the above mentioned things. Obviously, it doesn't bode well to find him alive being that it has been over a week now with no sign of him alive. Very sad/perplexing.

This is a report written yesterday that begins to paint the picture......

I'm William H. Coltharp's oldest son, William S. Coltharp. I stumbled across this post when searching for a story about my dad and felt compelled to comment. Today marks the start of the 4th week since my dad was last seen and even though the situation hasn't been resolved I'm still amazed and empowered by the enormous numbers of people that have come fourth with support, prayers, love, and strength because of my dad. He was the most determined and goal oriented person I've had the opportunity to experience throughout my short 25 years on this planet. In my eyes, he taught me the most important lessons of life I couldn't have learned from anyone else. He taught me no matter what, ALWAYS keep your head up. He would say it's not about the mistakes you have made, but how your rebound and recover from these mistakes. He was so strong emotionally and spiritually that I pray I be 1/2 the man he was. He could care less about being a MD or having "material" things, but what was so strong and meaningful to me was what he truly cared for which was love, family, education, and flat out helping people. Oh and there was this small school named Mississippi State that he had a minor obsession with (sarcasm to my State fans!!)<div>
</div><div>
</div><div>From what I have read above you guys have what's been released to the media. There was a computer recovered BUT it wasn't on the bottom of the lake like the media described. There was a gun case found at the same location where his vehicle was parked, which was the last place he was seen. He was seen struggling with a cinder block prior to pushing off in his Kayak. Those are the ONLY fact we (the direct family) has and possibly could ever have.</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>I might not know each and everyone of you, but throughout this process you all have given me a side of my father I rarely saw. Everyone I have read or spoken to on this matter has reassured me of the man I knew as my father. He was the perfect role model for me and always will be. I will ALWAYS remember who he was and how he treated people. He was a great man with endless amounts of joy and laughter to spread and he'll be missed forever.</div><div>
</div><div>Sincerely,</div><div>William S. Coltharp</div>

I cant imagine how awful this is to experience minute to minute- day to day....The Bulldog family is saddened by this as well...praying for you and your family

 

[BehrDawg]

Prayers sent your way.

Prayers and thoughts for you and your family.

but like your Dad said, keep your head up. I can only imagine how difficult a time this is for you and your family. Prayers sent. </p>

 

[dawgnautique]

I have prayed for you and your family for the past month. I cannot imagine the range of emotions that each of you have experienced during this time. I had met your father once and came away feeling many of the same things that you expressed in your post. He truly was a man of significance and one that impacted many, many people. I will continue to pray for you and your family and hope a conclusion comes soon. May the Lord bless you!!

 

[coach66]

your family. Stan Black is a good friend of mine and he has been keeping me up to date on developments. Stan thinks the world of your father. We are all hoping for a miracle.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It's one of the few things that keeps us going through this rough time. I wasn't much of a Gene's Page guy, but my dad sure was. He spent countless hours talking to State fans and it brought him soo much joy to be able to connect with his Mississippi State family, because I'm sure your all aware of the hideous colors we deal with day in/day out ( UT orange) here in Tn. He would ring the cowbell no matter where he was because he was PROUD to be a Mississippian but even more PROUD to be a Miss. State Bulldog! You all meant so much to him and at times I was jealous of you guys! He loved all the Bulldog msg forums and would get so worked up in these chat rooms it was unbelievable.<div>
</div><div>Stan Black was a very dear and close friend to my dad, so I'm glad he is keeping you informed. He's a great man along with all the rest of the Bulldog Nation I met throughout the years..</div><div>
</div><div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my dad find joy even so long after his time at Mississippi State. That school/campus does and always will mean everything to him and the rest of my family.</div><div>
</div><div>God Bless,</div><div>William Coltharp</div>
