Joshua Guimond (born June 18, 1982) is an American man who disappeared on the night of November 9 and 10, 2002, after leaving a party hosted in a dormitory of Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota. He was a 20-year-old junior student at Saint John's, who was partying with friends in the campus' Metten Court dormitory building. He left the party around 11:45 p.m. on the 9th without saying anything. When he did not return, the students at the party assumed that he had gone to sleep elsewhere. The walk to his dormitory, St. Maur, would have taken about three minutes. He was last seen around 12:15 to 12:30 a.m. on the 10th, on a bridge near Stumpf Lake, which is located in between the two buildings.
The disappearance's possible connection to others in the area led to media attention. Investigators from the Stearns County Sheriff's Office discovered Guimond's scent by the lake using a bloodhound, and theorized he had fallen or was pushed into the lake during his walk. In the decades since, divers have searched Stumpf and other nearby bodies of water, and have not found Guimond's body. Based on conversations found on his computer, investigators now theorize he was kidnapped or picked up via a car on the bridge.
