Huntington, WV (HNN) - A friend of Ruth “Tuesday” Hovemeyer, who has been reported missing by the West Virginia State Police, told HNN the woman “fell off the radar” between Nov. 9 and Nov. 16.
The West Virginia State Police have asked for help in locating the 22-year-old MU student who lived at an apartment on Second Street West and Eighth Avenue. The woman’s family has reported her missing November 16, 2010.
According to the WVSP release the member of the WV Air National Guard was last seen Nov. 11 at her apartment. Hovemeyer is described as five foot eight inches tall, 149 pounds, with blue eyes and blond hair. Anyone with information on the missing woman should call WVSP at (304) 528-5555.
Hovemeyer, a member of the WV Air National Guard, had last been seen at her apartment on West Second Street and Eighth Avenue. According to an internet site, she may have been a member of the “Hiking” community. Huntington Police Chief Skip Holbrook told HNN immediately following tonight’s Finance Committee meeting that he was not familiar with the missing person report.
By researching Facebook, HNN received a response from one of her friends who states that “she fell off the radar.” Angelo Fioravante, a senior political science major, edits the Monster Clutter “zine” for monsters by monsters and about monsters. Fioravante responded that “I’ve not seen her since November 9th.” He tells of each of them loaning books to each other, but “I heard she fell of the radar and I was hoping to see her on the 16th for Poetry Club but she did not show. “
However, continued internet research on Facebook and other sites indicate that she “liked” the MU Sustainability Club ( the university’s recycling /green organization), a creative writing group, and the aforementioned Monster Clutter, a small fan based locally published “zine,” on the subject of monsters.
In addition, a “blog” posting contains a missing person’s story posted from the Herald-Dispatch. It refers to her as having several names. It suggests that the “hiking community” should be contacted.
Referring to her by the last name of “Falar,” the site calls her a “missing sister.” The location identifies itself as that of a “still semi-newly married couple residing near Barboursville, W.Va.” (Click: http://www.shalar.net)
Based on links and postings, the couple who apparently traveled to Huntington from Minnesota developed an interest in letterboxing. Other sites call this an “outdoor treasure hunting pastime.” Google defines it as an intriguing mix of “treasure hunting, art, and navigational skills,” which surround rubber stamp artistry. ( http://www.letterboxing.org ) The puzzle solving game has players hiding small waterproof boxes in publicly-accessible places (like parks). Clues are distributed in printed catalogs, websites, or word of mouth, explains Wikipedia.
The game’s origin traces to Dartmoor, Devon, England in 1854.
Letterboxing North America indicates that there is an active community in West Virginia and that one of the boxes is in Ritter Park. It was last found August 9, 2010. http://www.atlasquest.com/boxes/clue/index.html?gBoxId=92549; http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gBoxId=92549; and http://www.letterboxing.org/BoxByRegion.php?region=West Virginia.
This site lists multiple objects hidden in Huntington. One object is listed in Milton hidden by “CMHS Science.”
HNN found a “blog” apparently written by the missing woman describing a letterboxing search on May 9, 2010 in Beech Fork. http://www.shalar.net/?tag=mmorpgs
Other types of “role playing” games are identified such as Dresden Files RPG and Incurro.
In another posting “Falar” stated: “I’ve been writing semi-deep things that confuse me. Confusion is wonderful. So raise your glass and let’s toast being muddled and unsure. It is our generation, after all.” http://www.shalar.net/?tag=cory-doctorow
