It is kind of strange, but if he really is missing, why haven’t his friends and family been asking for help in finding him? The only mention of him online is from various websites, all speculating on his whereabouts. No mention from mainstream sources.
People talk. If this guy has disappeared, those responsible would have to somehow quiet all those in his life asking questions.
I dunno...odd.
I suspect any friends and family are happy to keep a low profile during this year’s ARKANCIDE season.
