Disappearance of Kevin Gerald Mahoney

On October 2, 1993, 25-year-old Kevin Mahoney was last seen in north Fargo, North Dakota. He left his friend's house after a party and was supposed to walk to his brother's apartment south of Moorhead, Minnesota. It's unknown if he made it or not due to his brother being out of town, but no one had seen him in the following days. His family would soon report him missing.

He was close with his family and would keep regular contact with them. No one had heard anything from him and it was uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning. Foul play is suspected in this case.

There was a rumor that he got into a fight with a man from Detroit Lakes Minnesota, but this was never substantiated. A month after his disappearance a woman claimed to have seen him at Rick's Bar in Fargo, but this was never confirmed. 

Kevin is a white male and was 25-years-old at the time. He's 5'9" and 155 to 165 lbs. He has long, straight brown hair and blue eyes.

The Aschbroeken Man

In 1931 the body of a man was found in a peat pit  in Drenthe near Weerdinge, Netherlands. The body was well preserved, unfortunately, his skull was lost soon after discovery.  The body was that of a man who lived and died during the bronze age between 1316-928 B.C. He would now be known as the Aschbroeken Man as his identity will never be known.

The man was between 35 and 45-year-old when he died. His bones showed that he had broken his right upper arm once, and the fracture healed wrong. This caused the arm to point slightly outwards. He had growth spurts from around 9 that were likely caused by being ill or malnutrition at the time. 

It's unknown why he ended up in the bog, but his arm may have been the reason. Evidence from other bog bodies in the Netherlands showed that many of them also had some sort of disability. This may have been the reason he ended up in the bog also.
