Bellingham's Black Widow

I've been following this story my father sent me and its led me to an interesting urban legend.(here is another link) After trolling some of Western's student forums it appears many people beleive Clark may have been picked up by the infamous Bellingham "Black Widow". This Black Widow is a male serial rapist who dresses up like an Asian woman and offers rides to young man. If this was a gay party (and some students implied that Clark was gay by his choice of clothing) then the Black Widow might have known where that scene was having parties and could have been waiting for someone to stagger out. The other possibility being thrown around is that he was kidnapped by a gang of Lummi transients who have come out of the forest and setup camp on railroad ave. But the locals (and myself) felt that he was too far from downtown at the time, or the forested areas, to be involved with transients.Then of course there is this lead which apparently happened the same day. But a truck full of people with bats..sounds fake to me.

The black widow is true.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
