Leaving his stuff behind means that he wasn't planning on running away.
No history of drug use means he didn't hook up with some "crack ho" at a bar somewhere and currently holed up in a basement in Queens somewhere stoned out of his senses, not knowing what day it is. (Likewise, after two weeks, he should have had a lucid moment to realize where he was.)
I'm hoping he turns up in a hospital somewhere, but the police should be able to find him.
Sad to say that he likely had a bad encounter along one of those walks. There's a lot of greenery around there to get lost in, so he might be found right away. I hope he didn't wind up in either river.
Hiya Tanniker. Hope all is well with you.
I was afraid when I read that he went to Central Park. I’m concerned why he would go for a walk (by himself?) to an unfamiliar place without his phone. I watch Disappeared on ID television and amazed at how many people disappear without a trace.
I feel for his parent, they need prayer too.
