Aju Chukwudiebere Iroaga

In 2017, 11 years after he vanished Internet pages with some of this information are gone.

There is a long list of sudden without warning student disappearances.

List of other cases

May 15, 2006, Iroaga quit his 2nd year deep forest tree planting job after a dispute with his boss about how the trees should be planted.  He was sent to sit by the side of the road waiting for the return bus to the worker's camp site, 8 km west of White River, Ontario.        Information on line says the work site was 70 km North of White River.  

He waved to other workers as they drove by all day. The last sighting was at  4:00 p.m. at Domtar Rd 100,  Bayfield Twp, Lake Rampieke.

When the bus arrived he was gone.  

Canadian born, he held both Nigerian and Canadian citizenship.    His passport and Canadian Health card, as well as everything he had brought with him for the stay at the summer job site was back at the main camp.     He was on a day assignment site location with nothing but what he wore and possibly a pair of heavy boots. 

Given it was his 2nd year planting trees he should have known everything there was to know about it. So why the dispute?  Both he, other workers, and the boss would have been following prescribed planting schemes.

After he vanished his crew drove trucks around local forest access roads blowing the horns, and calling out his name. Helicopters were brought in to search for him.  He was no where to be found.   The search was suspended May 23, 2006.

Accounts on line say scent dogs did not find a trail.    That discounted the theory that as someone who ran 30 km in the morning before work, he had jogged until someone picked him up, or walked the 66 km to the Trans Canadian Highway.   At 26 he was fit and trained as a distance runner.

There is no information available about his study habits, or computer use.  The fact that he was an engineering student, had a pointless dispute, and vanished without warning suggests that this was a Subliminal Distraction caused episode.

If that is true, when the sudden onset Subliminal Distraction mental break struck,  he would have hallucinated something which was so disturbing to him that he ran away.  The failure of scent dogs to find a trail complicates this scenario.

There was no information about what he might have left for the dogs to get his scent.  Something like clothing would have been necessary to start the dogs searching for a trail. 

If someone picked him up where he sat at the side of the road, why didn't he hitchhike back to the camp location near White River to get his papers?

Without a Trace: The Mysterious Disappearance of Aju Iroaga
Reader’s Digest Canada, March 2008  https://www.readersdigest.ca/?p=24600

The Jamison family disappearance here copies the situation of remote location disappearance.  In that case there is video evidence of the "mental break causing design mistake" in the side by side placement of bedroom computer workstations.  The three bodies of the Jamison's were found miles from where they abandoned, and locked up their truck.

His father had a site about him but there was no reply to my email. You can see the family belief on the video link below.   In the video but not mentioned in any of the stories, it is revealed that he was a 3rd year engineering student at McMaster University.  There were five Canadian engineering students missing.  Only one has been found.  He had wandered to Texas.

Visual Subliminal Distraction explains sudden strange disappearances.

First

These episodes do not always end in a death. There have been recoveries with safe returns.

Ahmad Arain, UCLA vanished after leaving a bus in Watts on his way to a school meeting.

Six weeks later he recovered enough to email home from Mexico.

He had walked from LA drinking water from hoses in front yards, losing 30 pounds.

                       His family admitted a mental break.              Here    

Xin Rong sole occupant, pilot, vanished from a Cessna in flight.

University of Michigan,  twenty seven year old doctorial student in Artificial Intelligence gave no hint of depression,

or other mental difficulty.

The plane crashed in Canada, unoccupied with no indication of anyone leaving the site.   Here

Kelly Nash got out of bed, 4 AM, walked away wearing pj's, and boat shoes.

Seen walking by on a business surveillance video he was alone.

Georgia Gwinnett College student, he was found a month later a gun shot suicide in a nearby lake. Here

Missing from the residence, his 9mm Glock has not been found.

Michael Negrete walked away from UCLA after a dorm floor party, December 10, 1999.

He was wearing gym trunks, and dorm shoes, too light for outdoor wear.

Scent dogs followed a wandering course around campus ending at a bus stop off campus.

A picture, NLA, showed him using an incorrectly placed computer desk in the two person dorm room.

Brogan Dulle, University of Cincinnati, functioned normally all day.

He helped build a picnic table at home,

then phoned his mother when he drove back to school that afternoon assuring her he arrived safely.

That night he went to dinner with friends, then rode with them back to his apartment.

He put his key in the door, left it there, as well as leaving his wallet, and ID inside,

There is video of him  walking back and forth on the street looking for his cell.

                                            Eight days later he was found a suicide in the basement of an apartment house under renovation.  Dulle/College Suicides page

  Kayelyn Louder was unemployed, living with a roommate, and two dogs.

She was a heavy computer user on social media, and working on her resume.

After making several 911 calls about violence she thought was happening at a party nearby,

she ran out into a rain storm barefoot wearing only shorts, and a top.

There is video of her running down to a parking area, and then away, alone.

A month later her decomposed body was found hung up in debris, in the water, under a bridge.

The stream connected to a creek behind her apartment.

It was not possible to determine a cause of death

Report showing this incident, 911 calls, and video.     YouTube

Ron Tammen walked away from Miami of Ohio, April 1953.

He had played upright bass for a party that afternoon. He was seen about 8 PM but had vanished by 10 PM.

Sighted a three hour walk from the school, he was so confused he didn't know his name.

Unaware he was missing, he was given directions,

then he walked away into the early Spring snow, wearing a light blanket sweater.

Pictures posted by the library at Miami show he created the "special circumstances"                           

         for the "mental break causing design mistake" with the positioning of his study desk.

He has not been seen since.   Tammen

Joe Morse left all his possessions in the dorm, withdrew his last $120, and vanished spring semester 2003.

Four years later the Georgia Tech Police found him as an unidentified suicide in Miami.

He had flown there, broken into a construction site, climbed a 187 foot crane, and jumped, the day after he left Tech.

His roommate emailed a sketch of their dorm room study area revealing Morse had three sources

of Subliminal Distraction exposure.   Morse.

The Jamison's experienced bizarre visions, saw "spirits" on their roof.

They vanished on a property viewing trip leaving their locked truck abandoned.

The family dog, and $30,000 was found in the truck cab.

Their skeletal remains were eventually found miles away in the forest.

Video on the TV program Disappeared showed their side by side bedroom computer workstations

Jamison Family Disappearance

Connie Tucker

To understand the potential for this normal feature of everyone's physiology of sight,

see the office picture, and hospital record of what psychiatrists saw,

after Connie Tucker's office was changed, eliminating Cubicle Level Protection in 2002.   Here,

The Sudden Strange Disappearances page has other cases from around the world, going back over a hundred years. Here.

There is usually not enough information in each case to prove they were Subliminal Distraction caused fugue episodes.

But if you read enough of the incidents, a pattern develops.

Today most are high achieving students, and the sudden disappearances group around times of intense study when incorrectly designed

computer workstations, and study areas would be heavily used for longer periods of time.

 The episode arises from a normal feature of the physiology of sight we all have.

They have been known to happen as a believed-harmless event in incorrectly designed offices since 1964.

College administrations, students, the public, and mental health services are unaware they exist.

Not mental illness, visual subliminal distraction is explained in psychology lectures about peripheral vision reflexes.

The design problem takes the same name, Subliminal Distraction.

Additional Site Links

This site begun in 2002 is a psychology investigation to show the outcomes from a problem engineers found,

when it caused believed harmless mental breaks for office workers.

If this is your first visit to my investigation project,  I can prove what I tell you is true.

 My demonstration of subliminal sight and habituation in peripheral vision, Demo,

allows you to experience the onset of subliminal exposure.

The experiment to cause psychiatric symptoms, depression,

                        in a short period of Subliminal Distraction exposure, is not on site.      Warning

While safe if instructions are followed, the effect remits with rest from exposure.

It is too dangerous for careless attempts.

Do you know anyone in mental health services or research who can cause psychiatric symptoms experimentally?
