Summary

After leading the Bloomington High School Bobcats to their first playoffs since he played ball there, twenty years before, Coach Kenneth Hilscher was even more valued and respected there than ever before. His students loved him anyway, as both a coach and a teacher since he was always there for them with encouraging and motivating advice no matter the issue. But in April of 1995, Coach Kenny vanished into thin air, leaving behind only troubling clues that strongly suggested he met with foul play. Though searches turned up evidence containing blood that matched Kenny’s, and pointed to how he died, there was no trace of where to find him and he remains missing to this day.
