Witness Claims Odd Sighting After College Student Disappears
Dorm roommate returns to a strange scene.
What happened to Ronald Tammen Jr.?
That’s the question everyone familiar with this case continues to ask themselves. How is that, over six decades and counting, a 19-year-old college student mysteriously goes missing from his dorm, and that his case remains cold to this day?
Ronald Henry Tammen Jr. was born on July 23, 1933, and, at the time of his disappearance, was 19-years-old, and on the varsity wrestling team in college. He played string bass in the school’s dance band, the Campus Owls, and was a business major and was doing well academically. He had brown hair and brown eyes. His height is listed as 5'9–6'0, and his weight at 175 pounds. At the time he went missing, he had a muscular build and dark/reddish complexion. He did not have a steady girlfriend at the time he vanished, though he did go on dates.
A Fishy Surprise
Ronald’s last sighting was in Old Fisher Hall, a former Victorian mental asylum-turned dormitory, at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, on April 19, 1953. Around this time, and while living there in room 225, he was a resident hall advisor.
