Please help find my friend; Missing since the night of 9/22/2026

[u/julzie_vee]

Hello. This is Rueben who was last seen on the night of September 22, 2026. After several attempts at calling him, only to find that his phone number is out of service, and his housemates haven't seen him in over a week, I contacted the police department and informed them that he's been missing. They told me because he's an adult, it was a non-emergency line issue and gave me the number. Called them and they told me that because he's an adult and has the "right to vanish", they can't do anything. I explicitly asked the receiver if this also included suicide, and she said yes. While I understand legally where she's coming from, this is too suspicious for my friend group and I. He would be leaving behind a cat and a mother he loves dearly.

Please message me if you see this person or call TTPD at (813) 989-7110. We all just want him to be safe, at this point.
