The Alton Telegraph reports that on Friday night, October 16th, in Godfrey, Illinois, investment analyst Jeremy Ashford was abducted from his home. Mr. Ashford is NPO - unable to ingest food or drink by mouth. Without his tube feeding equipment, Ashford is subject to death by dehydration in as few as 48 hours. And now, on Saturday the 17th, in Brighton, Illinois, another tube feeder, unemployed landscape worker Michael Armstrong, has gone missing under questionable circumstances. Madison County Sheriff's department has few leads as to the abductor's identity: only that he is a large man, driving a pickup truck, who apparently was known by both victims. Not much to go on. And time may be running out for Jeremy Ashford.
