Despite New Evidence Officials Refuse to Reopen Case
It’s time to show you the facts – documents – evidence. We haven’t shared police files in the Todd Geib case because we wanted to turn the new evidence over to law enforcement so they could reopen the case. Despite the new information, the Michigan State Police and Muskegon County Prosecutor Tony Tague have decided not to reopen Todd’s case.
Todd Geib
Todd Geib was last seen walking away from a party near his Muskegon County, Michigan home on June 12, 2005. On June 27, 2005, investigators told reporters and Todd’s family that the young man was dead. They told Todd’s parents that they had information that led them to believe Todd was hit by a car and buried.
On July 2, 2005, Todd was found fully clothed in a remote pond near the party. Todd’s blood alcohol level was .12. Investigators determined that Todd accidentally drowned.
In 2009, I began talking with Todd’s mom, reading police files and talking with witnesses. I’m a trained journalist who knows that to get answers you have to ask experts hard questions. Former New York District Attorney, Trish DeAngelis agreed that there were some inconsistencies in Todd’s case. She brought the autopsy report and recovery photos to Dr. Michael Sikirica, a board certified Forensic Pathologist and CEO of Forensic Identification and Profiling Labratory. He showed the file to his team and other investigators. The data was also shared at an international convention of Medical Examiners. They agreed with Dr. Sikirica’s conclusion – Todd was dead 2 – 5 days.
A letter was sent to Prosecutor Tony Tague that outlines the findings of Dr. Sikirica and explains that there is more information to share. Mr. Tague forwarded the letter to the Michigan State Police.

After three months, Todd’s parents were told the Michigan State Police would not take another look at Todd’s case.

That’s a good point I hadn’t considered that until reading your post. It does get pretty cold here in the winter(especially recently), but obviously no where near WI and Minn. temps. I imagine the water is pretty frigid tho, but I’m not sure if it’s cold enough to do the kind of bodily damage it would do up north. It still seems likely that it would happen at least once if it’s such a frequent occurance in other places. There was a drowning a few weeks ago @ Auburn University but it doesn’t match the other incidents. Oh and Hal that could not be more true muggings are a pretty frequent occurance here so the majority of male students are packing heat lol. I myself have a conceal carry permit and take my 9mm everywhere that I am legally allowed to have it. Most people don’t carry @ the bar however because it is illegal to have a handgun anywhere alchohol is served. If I lived in La Crosse I would consider walking around the river acting intoxicated so the police would realize these are murders by finding a corpse filled with 9mm hydroshocks.
Student who drowned in La Crosse was intoxicated
8:38 a.m. February 19, 2010
——————————————————————————–
LA CROSSE (AP) – The La Crosse County medical examiner says the college student who drowned in the Mississippi River at La Crosse this week was highly intoxicated.
Medical Examiner John Steers says a urine test found Craig Meyers’ blood alcohol concentration was 0.28, more than three times the legal limit of intoxication. Final toxicology tests are pending. Steers says the 21-year-old Western Tech student died of cold water drowning with his high level of intoxication and hypothermia as contributing factors.
His father, Ken Meyers, tells the La Crosse Tribune he doesn’t believe there was any foul play involved in his son’s death. Nine intoxicated college-age men have drowned in area rivers since 1997. The FBI found no evidence of foul play in the previous deaths.
@tcpruett82
9mm? in that cold weather up there you can wear a heavy coat and there’s no excuse not to be carrying a .45
@Hal
Hal, I just read your post about Denny and Gerard. i do not know if you were referencing my post to Gerard , but I apologise if it offended anyone. My personality is “snarky” and unfortunately when writing statements they do come off harsher then what I meant.It is everyones right to have an opinion , and it helps us all look outside of the box. I hope no one stops posting because of my or anyone elses reply!
We are all looking for answers, and whoever is behind this has been getting away with murder. So no matter how “strange” someones theories are, until we find out the who and why, no theory is outlandish.
Again if I offended anyone….I am sorry
@g man yes but a nine mill is a tad lighter to carry!
@simplesimon I wasn’t offended at all, no worries Simon. It’s Harry, bless him- that I had a beef with and I just couldn’t hold my tongue any longer. Gerard seemd a bit contradictory to me– and well I’ll leave it–because I am not a moderator, just a poster. Now I miss Harry’s good contributory remarks. Go figure.
@Lori
His blood alcohol was three times the legal limit FOR DRIVING. The paper was wrong to phrase it like that because he was not breaking the law by drinking AND WALKING home. Besides, I can imagine that most college guys who drink heavily have been doing so for some time and have a high tolerance for alcohol. What is the legal limit? Two drinks? So he had more than six drinks? Not a big deal. Shame on the Star Tribune for the way they ran that story.
@Lori
No evidence of foul play was found.
The remarkable thing about each and every one of these cases (except for one–Chris Jenkins) is that the authorities said “No evidence of foul play was found” on each case. Last year, it was hypothesized that the Smiley Face Gang only earned points or “scored” when the murder looked accidental and the authorities gave it that “stamp”. After reading case after case for the last year, and seeing those same words “no evidence of foul play was found.” you start to really get creeped out.

What a trio of disturbing perverted sex addicts…and that, my friends, is the dark side of unbridled militant homosexuality.
@Vin
Vin – The four of us behind the Robert Wone murder site, trying to uncover the truth in this crime, are in effect militant homosexuals too. It takes all kinds.
Well, I’m specifically talking about those who use recruiting methods like the defendants. It’s just as bad as heteros who kill defenseless homos out of spite.
And for one to claim the title of militancy, well, that’s a good way to diminish the legitimacy of one’s movement, IMO. When I think of militant, it reminds of those who would lewdly march for their cause, shamelessly flaunting (sometimes flagrantly) their lifestyle, which often ends up doing more damage in the eye of the sensible public than good. Likewise, it reminds me of those condoning and campaigning for homosexual education in public grade schools. This simply fosters more distaste and public animosity (who feel they are being force-fed this morally reprehensible alternative lifestyle)…anyway, enough of the off-topic soapbox.
Anyway, your efforts to reach the truth of the matter of the death of Robert Wone should be commended.
Vin,
shut your pie hole.
we don’t discriminate here based on sexuality.
And you should take your own advice and not try to discriminate on the openness and variance of opinion that is allowed here.
@Vin
Vin: I don’t have a movement. Your shop-word generalizations are irrelevant to what we’re doing. But thanks for the kudos.
Sorry if I mischaracterized, Craig, but you were the one who claimed the “militant” title after I initially used the term. I guess our definitions and the context used are varied. Carry on.
Maybe it would be better if Trish DeAngelis’s letter to Tony Tague did not mention she thought LE closed Todd’s case too early and insinuate she suspects the Michigan ME was wrong in determining an accidential drowning. I’m thinking it may have made Tony Tague take a defensive posture and stand by “his boys” and the ME and the issue of Todd’s case being re-opened may have gotten lost in the politics of this defensiveness. Maybe just the facts of what the experts who specialize in this area have found would show him you are trying to help, not show him up or show his LE and ME failed. Just a thought.
@Vin
No big deal Vin. Thanks to all here. Weve gotten quite a bit of traffic from this site and it’s very much appreciated.
I know. When I read that I thought they were trying just a bit too hard
to make it sound really really high.
@Laurie Campbell
It was high. I took it to mean they were putting it into perspective, otherwise people would think it was low when in reality it was high. But then again people will argue the definiton of “high” and “low” until the cows come home.
