    man, every time this thread bumps to the top of the stickies my stomach flips and i think 'they found him'
    there was a canadian girl down in peru or something, her family hadn't heard from her in 6 months, they feared kidnapping, a few months after it was published in the newspaper she turned up, she had gone to work on some farm and neglected to let her parents know. i'm praying that's the case here

    Same here. I get an email from the message pit every time someone responds to this thread. The next email subject below this one was a breaking news email from the Columbus NBC affiliate. I actually get a lot of those news emails, but still, every time I get an email from this thread, something inside me gets worried...

    Thats Crazy. Eddie made an announcement about this when they played at Cincinatti on June, 24 2006. Then they played Wishlist and dedicated it to him. Sure hope he is found!

    Luckily, someone's video camera was rolling and was able to upload that announcement to the internet so we all could watch:

    I just saw a DVD of the Cincy show and that was a very touching moment during the concert.

    That myspace profile was recently featured on Columbus news. I've been meaning to post it, but it kept slipping my mind.

    Part of me still doesn't think it was a crime. Usually, when there's a crime, there's some sort of sign, or a witness, or clues. But if it wasn't a crime, then what was it? Did he just instantly forget who he was and take on another identity? If he had to flee for a bit, you'd hope he would have left a note or something, even if it was something like:

    "I have to leave...I don't know when i'll be back...Don't try calling me, but I just need some time alone. I'll be thinking of you"

    There wasn't even a note.

    A criminal investigation should have long been started.
    If this were my 28 year old kid...I would hound them until it was.
    They need to get on it...as they wait, evidence and god knows what else is being hiddden and lost.
    He is a missing person, regardless of whether he wants to be missing or not...he is missing.
    Now, becasue of that...an investigation would force thsoe "friends" his to be questioned...and hopefully undertake a lie detector test for the police.
    This has gone on too long.

    I love how you think you have the slightest clue about what the family should do/have done. Don't you go and freakin judge people in that kind of situation, who knows how you would handle it.

    I KNOW if my 28 year old daughter, which I do have one, was missing, what I would do!!!! I'd be damned if I didn't do everything possible.
    When the last people who saw her refuses to take polygraphs...I know damn well what I would do. Don't judge me either.

    To say you know how you would react is quite silly, but whatever, have fun feeling righteous.

    Nobody's feeling righteous, not many of us know what it's like for his family, but I think most of us could imagine that we would devote every second to finding him... and I'm sure his family are doing the same. We all would just have different ways of going about that though. I personally would go the Jack Bauer route to be honest, but that's just me.

    It doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to know that if my kid was missing I would HAVE to take ALL avenues to find her.
    Righteousness has nothing to do with it.
    Actually, now that I think about it, my 14 year old son was missing for 3 days from a place about 3 hours from our home. I was at home at the time. This was many years ago. I searched the ditches along the expressway and somehow managed to get all the truckers to watch for him along the route he was last seen on. I pulled all kinds of stuff to find him. I never stopped. I questioned every single person who last saw him, etc, etc.
    I think you are the one judging.
    It is an easy answer to at least eliminate the last people who were with him and get them out of the way if they are innocent. Its common sense, not righteousness.

    Sorry, i was thinking about the family here, imagine if they came here thinking they're gonna get support only to find out they're being fuckin judged by people who don't know anything. Imagine being accused of not doing enough for your missing son.
