http://blog.syracuse.com/opinion/2012/01/t...es_but_the.html Two different stories, but the same ending: They both drove off and were never heard from again Published: Sunday, January 29, 2012, 2:13 AM Updated: Sunday, January 29, 2012, 10:00 AM Dick Case / Post-Standard columnist By Dick Case / Post-Standard columnist What a strange twist of fate it was. Arline Pyke died Jan. 1 of this year at the age of 78. Her obituary in The Post-Standard said she’d “passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family and her four-legged companion, Mazie.” But without her husband. The death notice mentioned Arline’s survivors, including two great-grandsons, and “her husband of over 50 years, Guy M. Pyke, who has been missing since April 2, 1999.” We don’t what happened to Guy Pyke. He’s not been seen by anyone in his family at his home in Howlett Hill in almost 13 years. He drove his car north from Evans Mills in Jefferson County and out of our lives. His blue and black 1989 Chevy Blazer is missing, too. “We haven’t heard anything in all this time,” Guy’s granddaughter, Jennifer Wood, told me last week. I got the same report from the Onondaga Sheriff’s Department, which has been investigating Guy’s disappearance since 1999. The deputies are clueless, after 13 years, according to Sgt. John D’Eredita, a department spokesman. “There are no new leads.” Guy Pyke was 73 in 1999. He is described as 6 feet tall, weighing 170 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes. His family thought he had dementia. His hands shook. He tired easily. He left his home on Aitchison Road west of Syracuse driving his Blazer, with a full tank of gas, on April 2, 1999. Guy told his wife, Arline, he was headed to Watertown to visit relatives. He had kin north of the Thruway. He’d spent summers in Watertown as a boy. The last person who reported seeing him was a cousin, who lives in Evans Mills, north of Watertown. The cousin told deputies Guy never got out of his car; a barking dog kept him from going in. He backed out of the driveway and drove north, toward Gouverneur. That’s the last report we have of him. Carol Wood, 30, a green-eyed blond, is another Central New Yorker who just disappeared one day. She was last seen Aug. 4, 1996, when she angrily drove away from Anthony’s, a bar in Oswego, the tires of her ’93 red Toyota Corolla squealing onto Bridge Street. Apparently, she’d had a fight with a boyfriend. She’d not been seen since. Nor has her car. She left behind a six-year-old son, Eric, who would be 22 today; her mother and siblings. Authorities are just as puzzled by Carol’s not being where she should be. “Carol Wood still is missing,” Oswego police said last week. “The case is open. We’re pursuing leads as they come in. Frankly, we haven’t had that many lately.” In the case of Guy Pyke, the family wishes there had been a water search for his missing car. (In Carol Woods’ case, there was a search in 1999 of the Oswego River and the harbor on Lake Ontario at Oswego, using two boats equipped with sonar, for her car. Nothing was found.) Pyke’s granddaughter, Jennifer Wood (who is not related to Carol Wood), said this is based partially on information given to Arline Pyke by a psychic, who told her “the vehicle is submerged” and that Guy Pyke “is not far from the vehicle.” Jennifer said the family tried searching for the Blazer themselves “to see if someone might have driven it to Canada” with no results. Evans Mills borders Fort Drum and is not far from the St. Lawrence River. “We tried to get the (Onondaga) sheriff’s department to transfer the search to the State Police,” in northern New York, “but they turned us down,” Jennifer said. However, Sgt. John D’Eredita said his department would consider that idea. D’Eredita said the officer originally assigned to the case, Det. Valerie Brogan, had been in contact with the family. Barry Pyke, Guy’s son, has died also. When I wrote about the case in 2007, he told me the family wasn’t happy with the sheriff’s department’s investigation of his dad’s disappearance. At one point, he said the Pykes had to get a court order to see copies of sheriff’s detectives’ files on the case. I also talked to Arline Pyke in 2007. “If he’s not here, why should I be here?” she asked. “I get angry some days. How come he just go and not come back? He could not help that. Sometimes, I just need some time to myself for a while.” Barry Pyke said the family had sifted through many scenarios about Guy’s disappearance. None of them answered the key question: what happened to him? In an interview with a Post-Standard reporter earlier, in 1999, Arline Pyke explained she waited for any word about her husband of 49 years. Each day at 3 p.m., the hour he’d left home, she marked the number of days he’s been gone on her calendar. Today it’s more than 4,000 days, and still counting... |
