Missing person help

Might try the /r/bayarea subreddit. It gets a good amount of traffic
 
Sorry to hear Aaron, and best of luck finding your Dad.
 
Another hug this morning, Aaron. Praying for a positive outcome.

Aaron-

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you locate your Dad safe and well.

I know that you are checking with FB, but you should also log onto Nextdoor.com for HMB. That website is full of Busy Bodies with nothing else to do, other than spy on their neighbors.

I did that and looked through the past history to see if anything out of the ordinary was mentioned. Didn't see anything.
thanks
 
Hey man, just wishing you well and the news that your Dad is found safe and sound. Sorry you’re going through this.
 
I'm just getting caught up on this thread. I'm really hoping for a good outcome here. I'd be worried sick.

I wonder if there's any info you can get from PG&E - either to see if he's missed payments there, or if you can get more granular info on utility usage - it'd give a pretty clear picture of when he left home.

His Energy consumption drops off after september so it looks like he was last there late sept/ early october.
 
I am too far away to be any actual help, but I am following this thread with strong hope and optimistic well wishes.
 
Been looking everyday and I've not gotten any more useful information nor have I gotten any calls from the fliers. It's been getting pretty depressing and I'm coming to grips that I'll probably never see him again. I would just like to know what happened.

I am not going through this, and I don't know how you feel but the thought of losing my mom or my dad in the current state of where they live causes me so much anxiety. I feel for you, and if there was anything I could do to help I would be willing. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I hope I say this with confidence, the BARF community is here for you. Keep your head up, reach out to any of us anytime, even just to talk. I'm really sorry.
 
I have been kind of following this and am not sure if it has been mentioned but have you looked around his neighborhood to see if anyone has any security cameras or ring doorbells or something that may have recorded him around that time frame so at least you could get a general idea of maybe the direction he was heading? I know my cameras record motion and I have video from months ago and me personally would not mind helping someone out.

That sounds like searching for a needle in a barn full of haystacks. It's also something I would absolutely do if my dad went missing.

Still keeping the fingers and toes crossed for you, Aaron. Hoping for a good outcome here.

For someone's family missing I would scour months of video for them. Hell someone called and asked me if my cameras caught a dump truck that messed up our local bridge because my camera catches traffic on the road sometimes and I looked through a few days of footage for them but no luck.

If you can find one person to look and you see where he kind of headed then you could start asking along the path of travel and see what you can find.
 
If you or someone you know has TikTok, have them post up the missing person information. TikTok is full of people who like to play detective and solve things.

I didn't think it was true until my wife started showing me all kinds of posts(tiktoks?) of people solving things just like this.
 
I placed your flier on the bookface a few days ago and around 5 friends of mine have since shared it out, two of which grew up in Half Moon Bay, so hopefully that helps extend a meaningful reach.

I will PM if I hear anything.
 
Thanks!

I didn't see anyone with cams around. It's a low income trailer park that he lived in and there aren't any other houses along the way from his place to the shopping centers, banks and main street.

My current head cannon of what happened is he always pays his rent in cash so maybe someone saw him withdrawal a chunk of change and preyed on him on his way to the rental mangers office. I am trying to get a warrant to have Wells Fargo tell me the last withdrawal and then see if I can find CCTV from nearby businesses to see what happened to him after that. But they deputy said they can't get a warrant signed unless we can demonstrate that he's in immediate danger.
 
Sounds like the Sheriff's office is just passing the buck.

He's been missing for over a month, his rent hasn't been paid, he is clearly a missing person and they should be doing their job to try to find where he is.

I'd be calling the Sheriff and telling him that my next call will be to 7 on your side or another TV station if they don't start doing something. Sometimes you need to use leverage to get government people to do their job.

I would hope that if I had been vanished without a trace for 2 months I would be considered "in immediate danger" smh
 
Aaron!! I shared from Eldittie’s fb post not realizing whose father this is.
Would it help if we paid the rent on bhis place? How far behind is he?
I just messaged a friend from HMB for just another set of eyes.
