Hopefully someone sees him before he gets too far.

[Roamer]

He went missing on Tuesday. On foot. Strange someone hasn't seen him by now.

Well someone could see him and think nothing of it. Hope he's home soon!

I think someone in his position should wear some type of bracelet that can be tracked if they go missing. If everyone in his position would wear them there would be less missing persons. IMO.

I sure hope he is found safe.

I spoke with Captain Kilgo at the Boaz Police Department this morning. Mr. Shirley has been found safe, but he has no other details.

Thanks for the update, Roamer. If you hadn't made the personal contact I wonder if we would have ever heard he was found.

[Roamer]

Probably not. I've been checking the news everyday, and, as usual, they don't do updates unless the poor people are found deceased.
