I just went through this, sort of, with my Dad. But my Dad is old and had a beater of a car.
We kept calling ALL of the hospitals. A patient can say they do not want to talk to family or anyone(privacy laws and protection from wife beaters) and it is possible he is in a hospital and not wanting to talk to his family.
After I filed the Missing Persons report we kept calling all of the hospitals and after three days of harassing the hospitals over and over, one hospital finally admitted they had him. I think the Missing Persons Report loosened up the hospital staff.
I am sorry to say our friend was found deceased in Lincoln.
Before you all apologize to me, I'll let you know that I did not know him well. He was the best friend of a couple of my best friends and a friend of my wife's as well. I was simply connected n that way.
With that said, he was a great kid and for whatever reason it had to end this way. Just always know that even the people in your life that seem the happiest on the outside might not always be singing that tune on the inside.
