On this day in 1973, Mitchel Weiser and Bonnie Bickwit disappeared en route to a rock concert. They’ve never been seen since. Our investigation has discovered new leads, previously unknown witnesses and potential new search areas for unclaimed bodies. 🔗 rollingstone.com/music/music…

My dad’s best friend disappeared when he was 16. It’s now the oldest missing-teen case in the country. For the past 50 years it’s been my dad’s life mission to find out what happened. Amazing to see @RollingStone cover it like this. rollingstone.com/culture/cul…

Fifty years ago, 600,000 people attended Summer Jam, a concert featuring the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers and the Band. Two never came home. Read what happened to the teens and their family's 50-year (and counting) attempt to find out the truth. trib.al/gItIz5o

"I ask myself why I am obsessed with this for all these years. It’s because if the tables were turned, that’s what Mitchel would do." — Mitchel’s childhood best friend Stuart Karten rollingstone.com/culture/cul…

The case predates photos of missing children on milk cartons by more than 10 years. They vanished decades before the explosion of cell phones and the establishment of the Amber Alert. Law enforcement let them down. They were truly alone. rollingstone.com/culture/cul…

Two teenagers have never been heard from again after leaving for 1973’s historic Watkins Glen Summer Jam. Five decades on — amid accusations of police incompetence — their family and friends still want answers. trib.al/3uhLf9e

Threads feels like an old-school Zuckerberg obsession - he loves growth, and now he's found a platform that feels like it's exploding both in numbers and engagement off of $META's existing social user base. @milkkarten @Kantrowitz on the app's outlook
