    No search parties that I'm aware of but I'd definitely join in on one.

    If I can get more information, is there any interest in putting together a search party?

    Last place Andy used his credit card was Point Reyes. Please keep an eye out for Andy and his ‘94 4Runner.

    Not to sound like a dick, but do you have any actionable intelligence?

    It'd be useful to know:
    • Where the source of your information is, a more reliable source would help
    • When the last swipe on his credit card was, a location doesn't really give us anything
    • What was on the last swipe, what did he buy
    • Are the police treating this as an actual missing persons case
    • If so, why hasn't the Novato Police department put a notice on their Facebook Page or reached out to News Sources
    • A photograph of his vehicle, as has been previously requested
    Otherwise without anything to go on besides a face, there's nothing we can really do to help even if we wanted to.

    Any idea of if he told anyone what he was doing that day besides going to point reyes? In addition he doesn’t happen to like weed does he?

    Before a private search is mounted, how would interested parties even be sure this was a legit situation? How do we know he's missing? Was he due to return somewhere that Sunday evening? Where and to whom?

    And if it's legit, what steps are underway by professionals?

    Where did this picture/poster come from, and do you personally know folks related / involved here?

    This. But particularly the bolded bits. Nothing is being found by reasonable Google searching.

    You mention '94 4 runner twice, the poster says '96. Typo?


    Pardon my obvious skepticism, but there are too many missing links here, and there is way to much frivolity going on in social media. Like the Area 51 shenanigans.

    IF he is truly missing, very best wishes for good results.

    You can call the police dept number on the flier and ask the popos if he’s in missing persons.

    And hopefully the cops got surveillance footage of him making the purchase, or at least got a clerk to id a picture of him. Without that, all you know is that his credit card was used, not that he used it.

    Sorry I’m providing all the information I have. I have asked his family for more info but they haven’t gotten back to yet. I’ll add info as soon as I get it.

    At this point I’m just asking you guys to keep an eye out for him and his 1994 4Runner.

    As to the legitimacy of this, I’m not sure how you can confirm it’s real (although I don’t know why anyone would make something like that up) but as others have said, you’re welcome to call the number to confirm.

    Thanks all.
