Brian Thomas Vargo was a 20-year-old from Houston, Texas. He loved math, but was also a passionate writer.

On March 9, 1976, Brian said he was getting the title to his car in Austin, Texas, then heading back to Colorado

where the vehicle had broken down. He was never seen again. I'm at Densel, and this is Unfound.

College. It's supposed to be a fantastic time of four years, or more, of late teens and early 20s

some things, learning how to live on their own, taking responsibility for the future through their education,

and maybe even meeting that special someone who can be a companion for life.

Hey, none of that happened for me, but this is not the time to get into that. Yet, statistics show, this is a dangerous time for that same group as well.

If a woman is going to be raped, if young people are going to get into drugs or are going to start showing signs of mental health issues,

this is the time that age range of 18 to 23, and just thinking of Unfound's own disappearances off the top of my head,

these are some of the cases that could be seen to be connected to being in a university atmosphere.

Susie Lyle, Joshua Gimond, Jennifer Wilkerson, Kristen Modaferi, Mara Murray, Jason Landry, like I said, that is just a partial list.

Well, with the disappearance of Brian Vargo, we run into this phenomenon again. College student goes missing.

What exactly happened during his spring break away?

And, now a summary of the case, this is brought to you by my friend Megan Linas' website, CharlieProject.org.

Brian Vargo came from a very good family, with his parents and siblings all being high achievers.

Brian was kind of an intellectual himself. He loved math formulas.

However, as you will hear, Brian was a passionate writer, and you can see some of his words on Unfound's website.

Brian was a hard worker and bought his first new car when he was only 18. He went to college and was on the dean's list.

However, there were some issues. Brian ended up wrecking that new car not long after he got it.

He spent 30 days in jail in the summer of 1975 due to marijuana possession, and his grades had started to dip at the University of Texas.

So, in March 1976, Brian had talked about taking a self-guided trip of Colorado during spring break.
