#Rochester #Professor #Missing
I’m praying with hope that they find him safe and well.
Shacked up with a co Ed
You don’t know that.
This is what happens when visiting US, not a safe place. Unfortunately country infested with crime and criminals
It’s a good thing he’s white. . so they’ve already begun looking
Sounds like a Russian spy novel. Very napharius
Finland and that region. I do an origin of name, search. I really never liked my professors, that were hard to understand, a waste of energy, had a guy who would say he was from Pakistan, hmm he hated America.
we have Americans who could even be Sent to school growing home less daily.
he too was an economics professor, books used were his countries books against the USA though in line with our corporate despots and politicians they own.
and what the heck ” E conomics” eco nomics.
*nefarious
Rochester dangerous. Young drug dealers and criminals everywhere driving around in $70K cars!!
It’s Hollowevil people and children are being abducted for sacrificing/ murdered but grown man he has to be drugged pray for him and his family
That is false.
Grindr date gone wrong
@L. A. of course not, just speculating
Attacking Universities in different ways could be a thing. This war has dimensions that are beyond the scope of anything we have seen before.
Nobody attacked a university in this news story.
@L. A.2 REPLIES
We’re all in danger
So im “safe” today?
It certainly sounds like kidnapping by someone who didn’t like what he was teaching.
Sounds like they killed because he seems Jewish?
Ask his wife.
ROCHESTER
RPD: Missing University of Rochester professor Heikki Rantakari seen falling into river
by: James Battaglia ROCHESTER, N.Y. 📰
(WROC) — A University of Rochester professor who went missing one week ago fell off a bridge into the Genesee River, according to Rochester police.
Heikki Rantakari, 44, was reported missing on October 21 after failing to show up for a Saturday class. Police initially said his last known location was on Exchange Street in the city one night earlier.
According to investigators, video evidence shows Rantakari falling off the pedestrian bridge on Bragdon Place and into the Genesee River early in the morning of October 21. Police said Friday there was no evidence of foul play.
The RPD scuba team has searched the river, but has not found Rantakari. Search efforts will continue.
Rantakari is an associate professor of economics and management at the University of Rochester’s Simon Business School. He was on partial leave this semester, also serving as a visiting professor of applied economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Management.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
NY governor and police believe “migrant” are more important than a professor.
He fell into a river. The question is, why did he?
Covid jab
Sounds suicidal
Who would be holding him and why? A researcher, so what was he working on?
If you can’t tell us the whole story, don’t ask for the public’s help. We, the people, are tired of being used and lied to by law enforcement/government entities.
