Eric Gracen: Next of Kin

In Missing Persons, we always hope that every case ends in the missing person being reunited with their loved ones. Sadly, this was not the case for Eric Gracen.

I am no longer able to share my case notes with anyone but homicide investigators. 

However, we are trying to locate Eric's next of kin. A return visit to the Office of Admissions for Eric's college application revealed that Gracen's file has been misplaced. 

If you have any information - about his next of kin, or about Eric - his enemies, his friends, anything - please leave it in the comments, here or on Valemont University's Facebook group. We ask that you share publicly, as your recollection, your memory may spark someone else's, which could potentially lead us to Eric's killer.

If you are not comfortable sharing knowledge publicly, you may email me at whereisericgracen@gmail.com

Campus Interviews

Student who lived in the room next to Eric's last year. 

• Info received from Housing Office.
• Requested that name not be used
• Haven't seen Eric since school let out last year.
• Impressions: Eric was either "totally quiet" or "jacked up."
• Might not hear anything for days, then it sounded like "a party in there."
• When asked to keep it down, Eric was argumentative.
• Never saw signs of drug use.

Gracen Background

• Office of Admissions said personal records are sealed, without permission from applicant, cannot be released. 
• Went back to original missing persons report - no indication of who reported Eric missing?
