I haven't heard from my boyfriend since Friday night

[Anonymous]

Op, people have posted the number for Hampton. Why do you need a laptop? Seriously, what's going on? I feel like there is something you aren't telling us. You've responded a couple of times since the number has been posted so you obviously had time to call

[Anonymous]

She says she has to wait until she gets home to call, apparently. OP, I wouldn't post again until you've called the cops once you are home.

It hasn't quite been 48 hours yet. I agree she should be driving up or calling the cops, but I just wanted to point that out. He was due home Sunday night.

If you're facebook friends, have you posted on his timeline to see if his friends and family know his whereabouts?

The prevailing wisdom seems to be that she'd rather let him die of hypothermia/bear mauling on the trail than get the cops involved (because of his poaching).

I hope your cowardice in calling them doesn't hurt him.

She doesn't want to tell them he was poaching. Try to follow along.

Then tell them he was hiking. Definitely not a reason to not call at all.

There was a mention of a friend who is a police officer and getting his advice/opinion but evidently it must not be a good friend because she hasn't taken his advice - instead of contacting the proper authorities she's intent on correcting anyone who speculates incorrectly about the few details she's disclosed. Do you have any good friends OP that you can get some insight about this situation from?

OP here: are you serious?

wft OP, you're responding to this stupid comment instead of calling the Hampton police? Get your priorities straight.

Every hunting season, we had to keep the horses in to prevent them from being (accidentally) shot. We didn't own the bordering forest, so couldn't prevent the hunters, and hunting was a really common hobby out there. Most hunters were nice people who shot deer in season and then took them to the butcher to be processed, and their families ate the venison.

But there were a few known poachers, and poaching was universally despised by the local "normal" hunters. I don't think it was a coincidence that the poachers were also rumored to be involved with other sketchy activities, OR that the only two people I have known for a fact to have been heavily into meth were also poachers (hello, rural high school).

She's scared because she doesn't want the police to find out that her boyfriend is doing some of the other illegal activities that go along with poaching.

You're probably right, and would make sense since she's only interested in fb messaging the uncle he was with, so far. But at what point does your actual concern for someone's well-being overtake and you just do the right thing? Or even CALL the uncle rather than just fb message him?

You'd be surprised by the almost cartoonish mistrust those people (of the Western Pennsylvania rural poaching culture I described above) have for police. And I guess they have good reason for it? My dad used to be friends with one of the "good hunters" (non-poaching locals). I remember my dad telling him that he was going to call the Penn. Game Commission and police because he'd seen one of the known poachers parked somewhere with a deer strapped on his car (way out of season). My dad's hunter friend was quite adamant in his assurance that there would be swift, regrettable consequences if a poacher suspected that my dad had ratted him out. Poachers are criminals, and they are poorly educated, and they will avoid police involvement at almost all costs.

OP here: I'm so close to just giving you all my boyfriends name and just letting you all do research since I apparently am not doing it correctly. I am doing the BEST that I can here. I am going to call the Hampton police in 10 mins when I get home and can get on my laptop and start doing all this.

I didn't ask for all your boyfriend's info. Just the uncle's last name. Last name with first initial would be helpful.

Right. And she's willing to post his name here and send personal info to an unsolicited yahoo account for an anonymous DCUM poster.

Can we get an over/under on the number of teeth her poaching meth tweaker boyfriend is missing?

I've read this whole darn thread. It's 2:45...you're going home from work now? You had time to post here, but not to look up one person's phone number?

My main question is this, aside from hawking FB, emailing a friend who gave you the same advice you've gotten 100 times on this website, and calling your BF's cell phone that is not on, what exactly are you doing to find your BF?

Why haven't you put the uncle's name into www.whitepages.com, come up with a number, and then called him directly?

Or, do the same with either of the two friends that you've met. Surely if they know you, they will understand why you searched for their numbers and then actually picked up a phone and made a call. You've basically done nothing, gotten tons of suggestions and now you're getting mad and complaining that everyone is mean. Do something...anything.

Hee!!

OP- Any idea how often he and his uncle talk? It sounds like they're close, but I know guys aren't phone people. Just wondering at what point Uncle would raise the flag of worry. In my family we always say, let me know you got home safe.[b] The women at least request that...

I'm starting to envision the white supremacist gang from Breaking Bad as OP's beau and family. Yikes. I initially thought of "cabin" as a quaint place without A/C and heat. But now I envision it as a repurposed shipping container.
