I am a long time friend and partner of John's and recently heard about this. Have all his Vegas friends combed the Canyons and Crags?

Ch-3, KTVK, Phoenix is doing a story on Rosholt's disappearance today, 5/16. His sister, Jane, drove down from Colorado to get his stuff from his house which is going through foreclosure. I've spoken with some of his friends, and they along with Jane are hoping for the best. Best case is, John hit the jackpot and is off climbing somewhere beautiful and remote. The LVMPD doesn't know what kind of case they have, but there are detectives on the case. I should let the story speak for it's self. LVMPD has not said a lot about the disappearance. Then again, Vegas is the place people go to disappear. Scottsdale PD has done some investigating, but there is not much they can do at this point. How do I know this? I've been working on setting this up and getting it on TV for over a week. People close to John want to know what happend to their friend/ brother. He was very good about keeping in contact with his family. This is very out of the ordinary for him. I'll keep in contact with Jane and LVMPD and hopefully this story get some questions answered.

Wow, that sucks about John. I'm new here, so I just found this topic today.
John and I climbed together at Oak Flats a couple of years ago...He'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Red Rocks is great. Vegas is a hole. I still hope this situation turns out well.

FYI
Yes his car was found. It was at the Silverton Casino which I am told is along Black Diamond Highway. This would be a good location to meet up with another person if one was heading to Black Velvet or surrounding area. This is a favorite area of John's.
Anyone that might be in the area please pay extra attention or possibly take the extra few steps to look around.
Thank you,
Darin

This is cut from the East Valley Tribune. Also, the thread is stickied and bumps only make it harder to find more info.
Scottsdale climber has been missing since Christmas
By Irene Hsiao, Tribune
The Christmas cards remain on the mantle in the living room. The Christmas tree is still in front of the fireplace. All of 48-year-old John Rosholt’s belongings — including his climbing gear, computer and bicycle — are inside his Scottsdale home. Jane Rosholt Watkins last spoke to her younger brother, who is well-known in the rock-climbing community, when he called to thank her for a Christmas present about 8 p.m. Dec. 27 before he left for Las Vegas. At 9:42 p.m., he e-mailed his other sister, Jill Rosholt, telling her he had recently gone to a Phoenix Suns game and he hadn’t received her present yet. He said that was OK because it would be Christmas all over again when he did get it. And that was it.
John Rosholt has been missing ever since.
"John’s a conservative, responsible guy. There’s no way he would just walk away," said Darin Holt, a fellow rock climber and former roommate of John Rosholt’s.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police found his Toyota 4Runner in late April in the parking lot of the Silverton Casino. The department began handling the case last week, said Las Vegas police Sgt. Chris Jones.
Police do not know if he walked away or if there was foul play, Jones said. Watkins reported her brother missing in late February to Scottsdale police after she didn’t hear from him when she called about her daughter’s wedding, she said. He had planned to attend.
Although John Rosholt would frequently be gone for a few months at time, it was unlike him not to respond, Watkins said. Scottsdale police said his financial records were not tampered with and foul play was not suspected in his disappearance at the time, said Scottsdale detective Sam Bailey.
John Rosholt rock climbed regularly. He played poker and invested in the stock market to support himself, Watkins said. A message displayed at www.rockclimbing.com says: "Has anyone seen John Rosholt (gambler) recently?" Holt said John Rosholt, who had an eclectic group of friends, never contacted any of his rock-climbing buddies in the Las Vegas area.
He might have gone hiking in the area instead because of some minor injuries he had suffered, Holt said. Anyone who has information is asked to call Las Vegas police at (702) 229-5678.

If his climbing gear is still in his house, maybe he didn't go for climbing? Then again, he could have just left some behind. Just a brainstorm.

Somewhere near the begining of this thread it was established that this was a gambling trip and not a climbing trip.

Is there any way we could compile all of the posts in this thread that have actual information? Maybe roll it all together and edit it into one of the posts on page 1?

Yeah, a moderator deleting all of the 'bump' posts would be nice...
...especially if it decreased the post counts of the bumpers. Sheesh.

Jane Rosholt Watkins (John's sister) e-mailed me late last night and told me that she is driving up to Vegas today, to positively I.D. the 4-Runner and its contents. At least something positive has finally been located.
