Rather than using flames, water cremation uses water, and a small amount of an alkali like potassium hydroxide, heated to around 150℃. A combination of the heat, pressure and chemical break down body tissue, which dissolves harmlessly into the water. The skeletal remains are then put into a cremulator, which turns them into a fine, sand-like powder, similar to ash.

On September 7, 1987, Tom Young closed up his bookshop in the tiny village of Silver Plume, Colorado, and along with his dog, Gus, disappeared. Nine months later, a new resident of Silver Plume, Keith Reinhard, opened an antique shop at exactly the same location.

On August 7, 1988, Keith closed up his shop for the day. Less than two hours later, Keith Reinhard also disappeared.

Keith Reinhard and Tom Young both rented the same store. They both left town promising to return. Strangest of all, Keith was writing a book about Tom’s disappearance, when he too suddenly vanished.

On July 31, 1988, ten months after Tom Young disappeared, two hunters found the remains of Tom and his dog in the mountains near Silver Plume. Each had died from a bullet wound to the head.

No trace of Keith Reinhard has ever been found.
