For the better part from 1972 to 1978, Steven attended Hope College in Holland, Michigan. When one day he wandered out to Lake Michigan over the frozen waters and his tracks mysteriously disappeared. But the story gets much stranger as his website details.

On a frigid winter day in 1978, Steven Kubacki went cross-country skiing on the frozen ice of Lake Michigan, and he never came back. Two snowmobilers discovered his skis, poles, and backpack, and after an exhaustive search, search-and-rescue teams determined the 23-year-old college senior must have fallen into one of the deep crevasses in the ice and drowned. His family and friends mourned his death. Fifteen months later, a motorist in Massachusetts picked up a hitchhiker who asked to be taken to the nearest pay phone. It was Steven Kubacki.

What do you think happened to him? Do you think he was abducted or went through some kind of time portal? The truth is still out there.
