heard this on the news, i think i saw him going to his car as i was jogging the day he disappeared

he looked a bit stressed as far as i know, i knew what be looked like obvs, saw him twicebefore he disappeared

Stay strong man. best of luck :(

I dont know if there's much more you can do, after having him filed to the police and tracked through the devices he was carrying. I dont really know you or your family structure, so i cant really say anything without sounding like a shrink, but you have to be strong for your family now until he returns, it must be horribly hard for you and for your mom and sibblings, that out of nowhere you find yourself in such a situation. I cant even imagine how I would begin to deal with that.

But in reality, you're for now the oldest man in the house, and you're gonna play a crucial role with supporting your family's mental state. I imagine your mother must be pretty stired up, and so must your brothers. Best you can do, apart from actively searching for your father, is maintaining your family together, helping your mother as much as you can, and making sure your brothers are going through this time healthly(not getting into trouble in school, not to do drugs etc...), staying positive and transmitting the positive vibes to your family members.

If you have the capacity to do that, it'll be positive both in the short-run, (until you find your father), as you'll keep your family hoping and motivated, and in the long-run, in the grim case that he does not come back, you'll have allowed your family to go through an extremely rough time, all while maintaining a somewhat balanced family structure, by helping your brothers develop until adulthood and by being present for your mother, who, undoubtebly needs someone by her side.

I truely wish all goes well for you and your family

Did it say what his name was? I don't doubt you heard it on the news because we gave the story to a bunch of networks, but I wanna know if you got the correct story before I get hopes up.

Any common fishing holes he frequented?

He never fished.

I'm in the Levittown area which is about a half hour away from Doylestown. Do you have a link to a news report with a picture of any more information?

try posting stuff on:

best of luck man

No stories as of yet. My mom called a news station under the idea that it's possible my dad used the sleeping pills, woke up, and then might find a tv and hear whatever she has to say.

Is he a drinker? If so he might be in one of the millions of bars in the area. It sucks because theres so many places he could be in the area because Bucks/Philly is so populated.

your news paper has a section for thins like this i'm sure.

^
Good call with the newspaper. The big news paper around here is http://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/ so try and get in contact with them

Not at all.

"Me and my family are new here"

How new? Months? "I've been planning this for months."

Why did you guys move? For work? Did he get a new job when you guys moved?

what are you going to do if you do find him

running away from problems...

good luck to you, your brother and mom. probably need to look for a man or get a job to help around the house. hope he turns up alive

He got a job almost immediately. We moved here November 1st of 2013. And yes, we moved here for work, and because we lived in Alabama previously and my mom wanted a place with "more than two seasons."

It depends on how we find him. If he's alive, we'll need to find out why he ran away. If it's worse case scenario and he's dead, my mom wants to move somewhere closer to family until she gets back on her feet, and she wants to bring him with her so we can bury him in a place where we will stay permanently.

I already have a job as a grocery store bagger for $8 an hour. I started last week. I told my mom I could help financially if need be, but she wants to hear none of it and actually REFUSES to let me help.

GUYS! MY MOM WAS SITTING ON THE SOFA CRYING AND HER PHONE WENT OFF! HE CALLED! HES ALIVE! I'll update as things progress.

Thank you all. To everybody who prayed and hoped. My mom is staying on the phone as she drives to where he is. From the way she talks to him, it sounds like he's really tired, so it can be assumed he tried to OD on sleeping pills and failed.

holy shit.

Congratulations that he is alive. I'm sure that is a relief

i hope everything's ok!!

CONGRATS!!!!!! the power of prayer

HUGE UPDATE: My dad contacted my mom on her cell phone and told her where to find him. She drove to him and found him. He HAS taken the pills and it wasn't long ago. Due to the nature of the search for him, he is now on route to a hospital so that they can remove the pills from his body and then give him a psyche evaluation to see what caused this.

To those who pray; please continue to do so, for those who don't, please keep your fingers crossed, the worst is over but there is more to come.

Again, thank you to all of you who prayed, hoped, gave me advice, and anything else you may have done, I'm very grateful. Thank you.

Been stalking this thread waiting for something positive to come up, and finally some good news. All the best man, keep holding strong and I hope your dad can get all the support he needs.

Holy shit dude you're so lucky you found him! Hope you can help your dad through this, goodluck!

Fuck that's awesome, please update us whenever you can. Very pleased this seems to have had a positive outcome.

Holy fuck you are lucky, thank the stars. I was really worried for you, even though I never met you and never will. It sounds like your dad has severe depression from stress and tried to suicide, which I understand with since I also suffer from depression. You need to let him know that no matter how shitty his life can be, the world is an amazing place, and as long as you guys have each other nothing else matters.

I certainly will. For the next few days, there won't be many available updates though, as I said; he'll be in the hospital for at least 72 hours, so the most Ill be able to do is come on after visits and say how he seems to be doing. But I'll do what I can to keep you guys up to date.

Wow I am actually relieved and I have never met the guy. That's awesome and I hope he makes a full recovery.
