TAMPA - Tuesday will mark one month since Jason Galehouse and Michael Wachholtz, strangers with much in common, disappeared.

One man is dead. The whereabouts of the other is a mystery.

At sunset Sunday at Ben T. Davis Beach, people will light candles and scatter white roses for Galehouse and Wachholtz, both 26. After the hourlong vigil, at 7 p.m., the group will throw a "life celebration" party for Wachholtz at Georgie's Alibi, 3100 Third Avenue N in St. Petersburg.

On Jan. 6, Wachholtz's body was found wrapped in a sheet in the back seat of a sport utility vehicle in Town 'N Country. His cause of death is unknown.

Friends and relatives continue to search for Galehouse. They have set up a fund in Galehouse's name at Wachovia bank and have created a Web site, www.FindJasonNOW.com with background on the case, fliers and phone numbers of law enforcement officials.
