Topaz Point - Maurice Dametz disappearance
USA

This view overlooks Topaz Point, a picnic area along Rampart Range Road near Devils Head, Colorado.  This area also marks where 84 year old (other sources say he was 75) Maurice Dametz disappeared on April 29, 1981 while rockhounding for topaz in the area.  At the time this location was known as the Virgin's Bath.  More info below:

 

Maurice Gordon Dametz went missing on April 29, 1981 near the Topaz Point picnic area, Devil's Head, Colorado in the Pike National Forest. Dametz was last seen approximately 50 yards west of Rampart Range Road. He and a friend were rock hunting, the friend being approximately 50 yards away from Dametz.


Dametz was in his 80s, had arthritis and a blood disorder. He often went rock hunting with a friend, who would assist him in moving around to his dig sites. Dametz could not walk well on his own.

At approximately 3pm, the witness went to check on Dametz, who had been digging for topaz in a fixed location, and told him they would probably head home soon. The witness returned to his own dig site, then approximately 15 minutes later, went back to check on Dametz, but Dametz was gone. Not even his tools remained. The witness, surprised that Dametz could make it up the hill on his own, checked back at their car, waited, honked the horn a few times, but there was no response; Dametz was nowhere to be found. The site where Dametz was last seen was not disturbed, other than the small pit Dametz was digging out of. No sign of a struggle in the dirt and no blood was present.

The witness flagged down a motorist on Rampart Range Road. Around 11pm that night the Douglas County Sheriff had been notified and SAR teams were at the scene. For the following week, the area was searched with no sign of Dametz. The search dogs could not even pick up a scent.

More About USA

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.
