BF didn't check in Sunday night
OP posted Monday evening with her worry
For a little while DCUM was sympathetic offering suggestions to resolve/ find answers
OP, though consistent with responsive to speculation, didn't take provided advice through last night/this morning
As of htis afternoon, it became clear that the BF may be an asshole that is shady and possibly otherwise involved.
OP was advised for the ENTIRE afternoon to contact authorities, she made a half assed effort
She then attempted to reach out to his family via social media and phone despite knowing very little about them, but was consistently rebuffed
OP started to see writing on the wall
Now we are debating if you stick it to asshole online BF (limited in person interaction) or just run for the hills.


I think that's it.

Brilliant summation. Bravo.

He was going to be hunting bobcats which is illegal.
Believe me, this matters if you intend to spend anytime in the future on DCUM. I predict this will be as important as understanding Chipotle Lady.

Lol, some people were like a dog with a bone on the "illegal" angle. You would've thought he was hunting humans.

Well, that's because anyone that would hunt out of season unless they're starving is scum. And hunting for sport is gross.

Can someone make a list of the other legendary threads?

I may not have read one and I'm a masochist.

Since we're recapping, can someone explain Chipotle Lady? Thanks!

So they found the bf? He didn't go to Maine, right? They found him alive and well at home and now the consensus is that this is how the guy broke up with her?

I need to know about Chipotle Lady also. TIA

Oh I thought the updaters said that DCUMers found the uncle and the boyfriend.

Its hard to explain the epic nature of this thread, but one of the amazing things about it is following the real time, rabid, sleuthing skills of the DCUM community, particular as compared to the OP's basic life skillz.

In part, OP was unable to provide a full picture up front. Started with missing boyfriend and spiraled from there. But key in the turning points of DCUM sympathy was when OP posted her BF was going hunting bobcat in N. Maine. Soon, DCUMers provided a chart proving that it was not bobcat season (but it was gray squirrel season) and thus "poaching bobcat" entered the vocabulary.

OP also posted numerous times on how she had, like, no way to find anyone to help her figure out what happened. Within a brief period of time, DCUMers had not only located a picture and name of the barbarically bearded, cow hauling lothario, who may or may not also be a meth dealer, but also his jolly uncle J, who runs an ice fishing business and has a Facebook page for his dog, or something and, importantly, was NOT hunting with his nephew over the weekend (sadly I missed the posts where the name was posted, so I have not been able to see Jolly Uncle J's FB page, but I hear he's quite a character).

DCUM provided numerous ways to contact Uncle J--and in fact, some perhaps did even contact him--but OP herself seems to have trouble with the mechanics of calling. We are all unclear as to whether OP actually called the sheriff or not, but perhaps Missing Boyfriend and Sheriff are in a meth cartel together.

Halfway through the thread, Jeff pulled up another thread from a couple months ago where OP was complaining that her "boyfriend" would often disappear for hours or days and not answer his phone, and that he lied about stuff. DCUM counseled that she DTMF, but one savvy poster, noting her ostrich like tendency to bury her head in the sand, predicted that she'd be back in two months complaining about him. Et voila. The OP's concern has gone from "Super concerned" to "slightly concerned" but has not yet been able to let it go.


I think we need to let DCUM handle this break up, but I am still trying to figure out the best way. At the very least, MissingBoyfriend88 needs to see this thread so he can see what majesty he has wrought.

Thank you so much 6:17PP! You have done all of DCUM-land a truly valuable service.

Found in the sense DCUM figured out who the BF is. And that the hunting story seems false.

This post is lyricism.

Another update:

OP finally reached Jolly Uncle J by phone today, who explained that he had definitely not been in Maine with her bf (initials "SV") as he has not spoken to him in 2 years. Uncle J gave her some background information on SV's parent's being into some shady stuff (which apparently SV has alluded to before), and said that SV is still a good kid. I believe he provided contact info for the grandparents who live near SV, although Jolly Uncle J is not in contract with the grandparents and probably not related (he's a half uncle).

Police did a wellness check and SV is still unaccounted for and not at his residence. Another friend reported him missing. He was last seen on Friday when he told his grandparents he was going to do a job in PA. He apparently took his dog and some bags with him and has not been heard from since.
