Joe Pichler

“I’m going to be there one day, Mom.” That’s what Joe Pichler told his mom as a child when they were watching The Academy Awards together. While many kids have said something like that, Joe actively worked to make his dreams come true. A role in a local commercial led to gigs in TV and movies, and his star was on the rise. After returning to his hometown of Bremerton, Washington to finish high school, Joe was making plans to return to Hollywood and pick up where he left off. But in the early morning hours of January 5, 2006, he made a phone call to his friend, and then vanished. When his car was found days later, police said the evidence pointed to suicide. But that didn’t sit right with his family. For twenty years, the Pichler family has been saying that there’s more to the story of Joe’s disappearance, and that there are people out there who know more than they’re saying. If you have any information about Joe Pichler’s disappearance, please contact the Bremerton Police Department at 1-360-308-5400.
