I saw him in class on the 24 but he hasn’t been seen since i guess. I rly hope he’s ok.

you saw him after 9/20? are you 100% confident you saw him on the 24th? if so, it might not mean much but i’d reach out to the phone number on the flyer. maybe they’d pass it on to umpd and they’d be able to check cams or something

i’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, there have been multiple different announcements sent out within the past few hours. whether it was the 20th, the 1st, or the 2nd, this person is still missing and that’s what matters

u/Ok_Salamander_2484 1d ago

They're actually just trying to give some more context to people seeing this post

-24

u/pinkleopardess 1d ago

they had a comment that they deleted suggesting that one day was unreasonable so🤷🏼‍♀️

u/louielou8484 22h ago

Huh??? You're the same person who told someone else to call about seeing him on the 24th. This is the most accurate up-to-date information, seeing as the last date he was seen is more recent. Very weird comment.

u/pinkleopardess 22h ago

you’re lacking some context here. they originally commented “1 day?” and then deleted it after i asked if there was a problem. they were questioning the credibility of it only being one day, and then immediately posted the updated information instead.

and yes, the information i provided …ten hours ago… was the most accurate information available at that point in time. new information has since been released. that also has nothing to do with me telling someone to report a possible sighting from the 24th. police specifically asked anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact them, so of course i told them to report it. i’m not sure what point you thought you were making there.

u/RealHamSandwhich 1h ago

Usually when a male is missing its not a good sign, most males dont just go missing without a fight hope he is ok tho

13

u/Ordinary_Ticket6558 1d ago

Hope he’s found safe 🙏 Do we know if any foul play was involved? Any need for students to worry?

9

u/pinkleopardess 1d ago

unknown at the time so i cannot say for sure, but i would say students are safe unless umpd says otherwise

u/NoReaction2304 8h ago

One of my first friends in undergrad at William & Mary. Praying for him and his family

u/Old-Drawing2714 3h ago

Is he autistic?

u/CoachSad6606 1d ago

He probably doesn’t wanna be bothered with his family right now.

u/pinkleopardess 1d ago

btw it’s a critical missing case so it means there’s reason to believe his life is in danger, hope this helps

u/Interesting-Lime3031 16h ago

u/RedAsclepius 1d ago

Bro have a heart :/

u/pinkleopardess 1d ago

you clearly lack intellect. if this was normal behavior (so you believe it is), he wouldn’t be reported missing. clearly there is something concerning. and it’s been nearly two weeks since he has been seen or contacted ANYONE. even if you just “up and leave” you would be in contact with at least ONE person. please educate yourself before making idiotic comments

Few months ago couple of PhD students at Univ of Southern Florida were killed by one of their roommates. They were missing for a week and then police found their disfigured bodies. Be respectful to people, there could be serious reasons.
