The Dungeon Master

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dungeon Master: The Disappearance of James Dallas Egbert III is a 1984 nonfiction book written by private investigator William Dear, giving his explanation of the 1979 "steam tunnel incident", which he feels was misrepresented by the news media. The book recounts his experience investigating the 1979 disappearance of James Dallas Egbert III, a student at Michigan State University. Egbert had committed suicide by self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1980. Dear had kept the true circumstances of Egbert's disappearance a secret until four years after his death.
