Details of Disappearance
Police and fire officials conducted a routine search of the Chippewa River for clues into his disappearance. He was last seen on Water Street in Eau Claire before losing contact with friends. He had been denied entry to the Pickle Bar because of how drunk he was. Liedtka separated from his friends later on in the evening but had telephone contact with one of them at approximately 12:25 am Sunday morning. James was last seen at 1:13am on November 4th walking Eastbound behind the Pickle Tavern. Liedtka is an Army veteran who served in Afghanistan.
I personally don't buy the foul play angle and believe he fell into the river. If you wish to explore the foul play stuff, Websleuths link has a discussion of it and the Vanished podcast.
