Charlie Dowd was a retired San Francisco firefighter who boarded an Amtrak train going from California to Chicago on September 12. He had planned on switching trains in Chicago to go to Montreal to visit his son. According to NBC News, "...when the train pulled into the Chicago station, Dowd was not aboard, yet his luggage, cell phone and medication were." Fox news reports that some "...passengers that saw him had investigators thinking he may have fallen off the train in eastern Colorado or western Nebraska." NBC was a little more thorough with their report by saying that one witness said that they saw him lingering around a train door around 11 pm. They also say that some people saw a man who seemed disoriented and confused, saying he was in an apartment not realizing he was still on the train. Now Dowd's body has been found in Nebraska near the train tracks. The statement released from the family is as follows, “While the family is devastated, they would like to express their gratitude for the many prayers, support, and messages posted to the Charlie Dowd Facebook page, and for the efforts of the many volunteers who have helped search for him this past week."
