Details of Disappearance:
On July 22, 2009, a man named Morse disappeared. His house in Ashville, Ohio burned down that evening – only the chimney was left. He lived alone with his dog, but firefighters found the remains of *two* dogs in the ashes, and no trace of Morse.

Morse wasn’t very healthy and needed help to walk far. He could drive, but his license was suspended, and his van was parked at his house. His family said he was a loner who rarely went out, but sometimes let strangers fish in his pond.

The fire’s cause is unknown, but police think someone might have harmed Morse. The case is still a mystery.
