Washington Snowboarder Missing For 7 Years

by The Editors on September 12, 2011

Joshua-Korvin-3The night that an accidental house fire broke out at his home, snowboarder and shop owner Joshua Korvin disappeared. And for the past seven years no one has heard a word from him, according to a story on King5.com. Not his only daughter, his mother. No one.

Joshua has had personal struggles in his own life to include substance abuse and brushes with the law. Several weeks before his disappearance, he was involved in fights and disorderly conduct in Bellingham, where he was arrested. Joshua owned and managed the Evolution Board Shop in Bellingham.

Police say all the their leads have “been exhausted” and they’d like to shut this case. Anyone with info on Joshua’s whereabout should contact the Mount Vernon Police Department.

This is my son, he has a daughter who is now going on 9 years…all she has is an album of snowboard photos…and pictures of him holding her as a baby. Anyone who knew Josh knew that although he had problems, he had a good heart, would have done anything to help a friend and mentored many youth in snowboard/skateboard stuff.

Mount Baker was his mountain and home, I am still looking for him – “a soul will not rest until buried” and a mother will never give up. If you know anything contact through his facebook page or call the Mt Vernon Police Department. He disappeared on March 14, 2004 and I’m still looking.
Josh Korvins Mom,

who was the last person to see him? how did the accidental fire start? Jake Wittenberg from King5 news reported this story:New clues sought in case of missing pro snowboarder by JAKE WHITTENBERG / KING 5 News. And then Jake Whittenberg reports this story: http://www.king5.com/story/local/2014/08/20/12942148/. Any connection?

Was that fire ACCIDENTAL? Hmmmmmmmm…. There’s a saying: “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, BUT….you can’t fool ALL of the people ALL of the time”…and you can NEVER FOOL GOD.
Today is Joshua’s birthday…this is for you.

Consuelo Guandique, I knew your son well when he lived up in Glacier. Though I heard about his personal problems, I knew him to be a very sweet, kind and gentle man! I am so sorry for your loss! I know it is hard to heal without laying him to rest somehwere. The same sort of thing happened to another man that both Josh and I knew, Sean Mansfield (aka Donkey) his body was also never recovered. It’s just not the same without that sort of peace of mind. I think of them both from time to time. I never had the privilege of meeting you, or Josh’s daughter, but I hope you both are dealing ok.

Today is Joshua’s birthday. Thinking of him. What’s weird is to have been a part of the family’s life for 40+ years…to have been a CONFIDANT as a ‘best friend forever’ (thank the GOOD LORD that’s over) to josh’s MOTHER and to realize it is not unknown what happened to him. Ask the MOTHER. She knows.

Any new info on Josh Korvins Disappearance?

I’m several years late on this, but I hope there is a response. Is there any connection between Joshua’s disappearance and Israel Keyes? Keyes resided in Washington in 2004. Keyes’s victims were both male and female who he likely stalked for months before abducting them. Just curious.
