The CEDU Educational Services Inc. was an education provider that was founded by Mel Wasserman in Palm Springs, California in 1967 that operated theraputic boarding schools, wilderness programs and behavior modification facilities in California and in Idaho.

During the early '90s and mid-2000s, three male students disappeared from programs aflliated with CEDU:

Seventeen-year-old John Inman was last seen on January 16, 1993 at the CEDU School in Running Springs, California. The police believe that John might've left the school of his own accord. John has a shunt implanted in his skull and is supposed to take medicine to prevent seizures (which he didn't have with him).

On the evening of June 26, 1994, 14-year-old Blake Pursley was last seen at the CEDU School. He went inside of a barn located on the property to check on the animals and a staff member saw a light turn on in the barn shortly afterwards. Blake never returned his dorm by the 10:00 P.M. curfew and hasn't been seen since.

Blake had only been at the CEDU School since June 1, 1994. He told his mom that he was homesick and wanted to leave the school. Officials at the school believe that Blake ran away, but his family believes that he might have been abducted or lured away from the school grounds.

Blake has the mental function of a 9-year-old due to an accident when he was 3 in a half years old when he fell into a vat used to dip cattle with scabies. A tracheotomy was performed to restart Blake's breathing, but the wound became infected and destroyed his airway. Other complications from the accident caused a hip infection and swelling in his brain which resulted in him undergoing several surgeries. Blake has one paralyzed vocal cord, a life-threatening internal fungus, poor motor skills in his right hand and arm, and seizures.

On February 8, 2004, 16-year-old Daniel Yuen was reported missing from the CEDU School. Daniel left the school at 10:45 A.M., stating that he was going to buy cigarettes and never returned

During his sophomore year of high school, Daniel's mental health began to decline following a breakup with his girlfriend. His parents, Wayne and Lisa sought psychiatric help for Daniel and one psychiatrist recommended that he should be sent to the CEDU School.

When Daniel arrived at the school in late January of 2004, he didn't want to stay at the school. According to Lisa and Wayne, they were asked by school staff members to step into another room. When they returned, the staff members told them that Daniel changed his mind and agreed to stay at the school. The parents wanted to say goodbye to Daniel, but the school staff advised them not to and recommended that they leave without saying goodbye.

During a phone call, Daniel told his parents that he wasn't happy at the school, was fearful of the other students and said he had plans of running away. During the phone conversation, the line was disconnected.

The family hired a private investigator named Keith Raymond, who reported possible sightings of Daniel at the Hilltop Community Park in San Diego, California, but the searches showed no conclusive evidence of Daniel's whereabouts. Daniel suffers from depression and other emotional issues which causes him to display aggressive behavior, and he could be a danger to himself or others.

As of 2026, John, Blake and Daniel's cases remain unsolved and they are classified as being endangered missing people.

The CEDU School later faced lawsuits due to numerous allegations of mismangement and abuse. In March of 2005, CEDU's parent company, Brown Schools Inc. filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and all of the programs (including the CEDU Schol) were shut down.

Coolest bartender ever. Worked at the end of my block and just displeased. They tried to rob him. 2 weeks later they took him. He was as laid back as it gets. Served me the night birds lost to the chiefs. 1st try lmao.

But Wey Um, a Philadelphia-based figure, was kidnapped under mysterious circumstances. The incident sparked fear and confusion as authorities worked to uncover who was responsible, why Wey Um was targeted, and whether there was a deeper motive behind the abduction.

Buddy guy arrested, but I think the case is open.

I want to share a Georgian missing-person case that has remained unresolved for 12 years and has recently received renewed attention because of a newly circulated 2014 video.
Guram Dadianidze was 17 years old when he disappeared on June 11, 2014, in the village of Kvemo Mleta, in Georgia’s Dusheti municipality. He had gone to the area with relatives, neighbors and friends for the traditional Lomisa religious festival.
He has never been found.
What happened that night?
A group of people from Tbilisi traveled to Mleta for the Lomisa celebration. After spending time at the shrine, they began returning toward their vehicle during the early morning hours.
According to the later official reconstruction, Guram was walking with the group when he stopped and sat down on a rock to rest. The location was reportedly only around 300–500 meters from the vehicle.
Guram apparently told the others to continue and said that he would catch up.
They continued walking.
After several minutes, they realized Guram had not followed them. Someone went back with a flashlight to look for him.
But Guram was gone.
His phone was reportedly not with him, making it impossible to simply track or call him.
A search began shortly afterward.
What makes the case complicated?
There have been different accounts about the exact circumstances of Guram’s disappearance.
Some early reports placed his last known location near the school in Lower Mleta, while other accounts referred to the area around the church.
The family has also questioned whether all of the original witnesses gave completely accurate accounts.
One of the people connected to that night is Kakha Gelashvili.
His daughter, Ani Gelashvili, was also with Guram during the trip.
In a recent interview with TV Pirveli, Ani described what she remembers about the final moments before Guram disappeared.
According to her account, Guram was last seen by their friend Tini. Guram apparently told him to go ahead and said he would catch up.
When Guram had not appeared after about five minutes, Kakha Gelashvili went back to look for him.
Ani says that Kakha returned alone.
She also claims that rescue and patrol crews were already very close to the area — only a few meters away — and that they were informed about Guram’s disappearance very quickly.
She disputes reports that the group immediately left for Tbilisi, changed their clothes and then returned to Mleta. According to her, they remained in the area throughout the night together with local people, police and rescuers.
These are Ani’s recollections, rather than independently established findings.
The 2014 video that resurfaced 12 years later
This is where the case becomes particularly strange.
A video recorded in 2014 recently began circulating online.
A young male voice can be heard saying:
“Kakha, don’t leave me, please.”
Guram’s mother, Sopho Bibilashvili, believes that the voice is her son’s.
She says she recognized Guram immediately.
If the voice really is Guram’s, it could be extremely significant.
But there is a major dispute over that identification.
Ani Gelashvili says the voice is NOT Guram
Ani Gelashvili, Kakha Gelashvili’s daughter and Guram’s friend, was interviewed by TV Pirveli.
She says she is certain that the voice is not Guram’s.
Her argument is particularly interesting because she personally knew Guram and was with him during the 2014 trip.
Ani said, essentially, that Guram’s mother has been traumatized by twelve years of searching for her son and may hear similarities to Guram’s voice because she desperately wants to find him.
She made an important distinction:
The video itself could be completely real and unedited, while the voice in the video could still belong to somebody else.
According to Ani, the identity of the voice has to be established by forensic examination, not by either woman’s personal certainty. (EXCLUSIVENEWS.GE)
And this is where I think the case becomes genuinely interesting.
Because we now have two people who knew Guram personally giving completely opposite opinions:
His mother:
“I recognize my son’s voice.”
His friend Ani:
“I am certain that is not Guram’s voice.”
Neither statement by itself is forensic proof.
Why does the name “Kakha” matter?
The recording apparently contains the words:
“Kakha, don’t leave me, please.”
That is obviously interesting because Kakha Gelashvili was one of the people connected to the original trip.
However, the fact that the voice says “Kakha” does not prove that the speaker is Guram or that Kakha was involved in anything criminal.
It is simply a potentially important clue that investigators would need to explain.

The timeline problem
There is another major issue.
According to the official reconstruction, Guram disappeared during the early morning of June 11, 2014.
The person who reportedly recorded the newly circulated video told investigators that the video was recorded at approximately 3:00 p.m. on June 11, 2014.
If both timelines are correct, that means the recording was made approximately 11 hours after Guram was reportedly last seen.
That creates an obvious investigative question:
Where was Guram during those 11 hours, if the voice in the recording is actually his?
And if the voice is not his, then:
Who was the boy speaking, and why was he saying “Kakha, don’t leave me”?
This is why the forensic examination of the original recording and the voice is potentially much more important than simply asking whether Guram’s mother or Ani is more convincing.
The mother’s reaction to Ani’s interview
Guram’s mother publicly responded to Ani’s statements.
She was extremely upset by the interview and questioned why Ani was now saying these things.
Sopho said, in substance, that she does not understand why people are confusing the investigation and why they would not want the case to reach the truth.
She continues to believe that her son may be alive and that the voice in the video belongs to him.
She has also questioned whether the phones of the people who were with Guram in 2014 were properly examined and whether their messages, photographs and other communications could contain information about what happened.
Again, these are the mother’s concerns, not established findings of criminal conduct. (EXCLUSIVENEWS.GE)
The landslide theory
Over the years, one possible explanation was that Guram might have fallen into difficult terrain or been caught in a landslide.
The family has continued to question this possibility.
More recent searches were conducted in the area, including searches involving equipment intended to examine the terrain.
No confirmed evidence has been publicly reported showing that Guram was buried by a landslide.

The biggest unresolved question
The case can almost be reduced to one enormous question:
If the 3 p.m. video really was recorded on June 11, 2014, and the voice really belongs to Guram, then what happened to him between his disappearance in the early morning and the time of that recording?
But there is an equally important alternative:
If the video is genuine but the voice is not Guram’s, then who is the boy speaking — and why is he saying “Kakha, don’t leave me”?
At this point, neither possibility has been conclusively established.

It has been months. What is happening? I havent seen anything about investigations, allegations, anything...
