<p>Almost daily we hear of a case of a different missing man that vanishes after a night out with friends.  It happens everywhere - Boston, Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota.  Even in England.  Big cities and small towns.  The stories of these men play out in the same way.   Family and friends conduct desperate searches  and make frenzied social media posts in an attempt to find him before time runs out.  And then the worst happens,  a body is pulled from a lake or river, usually not far from where the man was last seen.    The search is over.<br> <br> Can all of these cases really be attributed to accidents?  Why do these cases seem to happen in clustered locations? <br> <br> In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we look at the cases of five men who were missing and later recovered in water.  We also discuss one current case where the man is still missing and a river is currently being searched:<br> <br> - Christopher Jenkins went missing from Minneapolis in 2002 on Halloween night.  His body was found in a river four months later.  Police originally classified his death as an accident and had to apologize to Chris' family when they determined it was actually likely a homicide.  <br> <br> - Zachary Marr went missing from a bar in Boston on February 13, 2016.  He had gone outside for a cigarette and messaged his friends that he wanted to leave.  In the matter of minutes while they were getting their coats, Zachary vanished into the night.  His body was found in a river one month after he disappeared and his death is thought to be accidental. <br> <br> - Dakota James was last seen alive on January 25, 2017 in Pittsburgh.  He was walking home after a night out with friends.  His body was pulled from a river 40 days later.  Dakota's family believe he had been drugged on the night he disappeared and that the condition of his body was too 'pristine'  to have been in the water for so long.  A smiley face was found spray painted on an underpass near where Dakota's body was found.  <br> <br> - Jelani Day went mi
