Orin went missing while visiting [Virmond Beach Park](https://www.ozaukeecounty.gov/668/Virmond-Park) in Mequon. He was swimming that day and told his friends he was going to go back for another swim. That's the last they saw of him. The law enforcement in this case are on the ball: "We currently had mitochondria DNA related to Orin Anderson on file with NamUS and being continually checked through the CODIS network. We have all the original police reports and files as well as all follow up supplemental reports regarding this case."

Here you can see Virmond Park - it's a lot different from what it was in the 70s. But there is a walk way in the southern part that takes you to the slim sliver of beach. Along that beachline, if passable, might have washed up bones or other items that might be evidence. Of coure, that all is if Orin drowned. Be safe going here.
