On February 9, 2008, Wall Street trader Alphonse "Mike" Barbiere, 23, disappeared in Breckenridge, Colorado, after leaving a bar. He was reportedly intoxicated when he headed back to his rented condominium in blizzard conditions.
The Search
A search was mounted with about 60 people and three dogs, but was suspended by police on February 11. On April 4, a local man found Barbiere's American Express card in a field, and a body believed to be his was found in the field the following day, buried in deep snow. An autopsy on April 8 officially identified the body as Barbiere, who died of hypothermia due to exposure.-

- "Mike is a very smart, trusting person," he continued. "Our feeling now, because they can't locate him, is that he's done something he's done in the past like sticking his thumb out to get a ride. It leads us to believe he got into a car, either in good faith or in bad faith. He's either in a safe place or potentially something very bad has happened to him, like a criminal act."
