Laurie, I'm confused. The article says his rental car was returned in San Francisco on August 20. So was another car associated with him found near the AT?

Update: Another web source (http://andersonlomarca.blogspot.com/2010/10/missing-konstantin-salikhov-from.html) reports Mr. Salikhov's other vehicle is described as a "light colored 2003 Hyundai Elantra with the Rhode Island license plate # 712-678". I assume this is the one found at Mad Tom Notch.

Cursory summary of incident found on the Vermont State Police (http://www.dps.state.vt.us/vtsp/missing/salikhov_konstantin.html) website.

Last I read he was considered to be "voluntarily missing". This was in the SF Weekly and the quote was by a SFPD sargeant.

Luddite, the "voluntarily missing" quote is in the article from the link that Laurie posted in the OP.

They mention that since there was no evidence of foul play at the time.

I wonder when his student visa was set to expire, after obtaining his PhD at Brown. Maybe he doesn’t want to return to the homeland. Asylum seeker?

If he was last seen the end of August, it now being over 3 months later, he is either long gone from VT or long dead.
