Army Spc. Joseph Bushling was days away from starting training to be a nurse.

“He had a career path in mind,” said his father, Kevin Bushling.

That path veered May 8 when Joseph Bushling vanished near Dugway Proving Ground in Tooele County. The elder Bushling wonders if his son is the victim of foul play.
