    This is sad. He lives very close to me and I have no recollection of seeing him before. Did he just walk out of his home or was here somewhere else at the time he went missing? I hope he’s found safely.

    I hope so too. These cases are always heartbreaking. I wonder if the woman missing last winter was ever found? WSR?

    I’ve posed the same question — why so long? This is heartbreaking — someone from our own nabe.
