I apologize for that. But that thread was one of the oddest threads ever. And the OP wasn't his friend, just intrigued by the story.

Bailing out on your family is being a bigger dick than posting information form the public domain.
Trash comment. We don't know what's going on in that man's head that pushed him to these limits. Show some empathy.
Very good point. Everyone has their struggles and no one knows what anyone else is going through. I've seen it first hand from friends.
Agreed. Sometimes you gotta to do what you gotta to do out of self-preservation.

Barnes said it best in Platoon. 'when the machine breaks down, we break down.'

So godspeed to this dude. I just hope he's somewhere nice until he gets things sorted out.

Stupid question if this has been covered. Have they ruled out that this was a random crime/carjacking? From what I read the focus is on finding him and not some car they have on camera where something bad happened early in the AM. This is Houston.

If the guy torched his car and told nobody and ran. I'd put my twenty bucks on the guy owed money to some bad dudes.

Something I tell my Soldiers. We maintain and work on our vehicles every Monday in the motor pool. If you don't, it breaks down.

We have to follow a similar approach to maintaining our health holistically as well. We can only go so far without shutting down because we failed to take care of our Soldiers and check in more often.

I hope they find him, and that the circumstances have an easier solution than he's seeing right now.

Have they ruled out the possibility that he was running arms for the crown prince of Liechtenstein when he got caught sniffing around the princess's royal boudoir?

Ehhh...I'm sure yall will crack the case.

If I understand correctly foul play is not suspected.

Don't think they've ruled it out but they don't think it was involved.

I think it's quite possible his wife knew something was a bit off. She was probably surprised he left early, and didn't tell her he was leaving early. Probably turned off his phone / life 360 and wasn't responding to calls.

My son did this a few weeks ago. While everything turned out OK, we considered calling the cops to help us find him. He was hiding from us because he wanted to go to a store (pretty innocent at the end), but we knew something wasn't right pretty quick.

Looks like he tried to stage a suicide / disappear but wasn't very good at it to hide from lawsuits. Hope he shows back up and all this gets resolved. Stress makes you do crazy stuff.

It was the same in that other case a few weeks ago.

That guy that left the back gate open and the wife was all over it.

Thats all anybody talked about was the dude leaving the back the gate open.

If the dude had shut the gate he might have been gone all day with no one noticing or caring.

But the guy here may have burned his truck. So that's his version of leaving the back gate open.

He might regret burning his truck though. He might have been better off parking it at IAH and let it sit like that ABIA honda. We just dont' know what the circumstances might be. We''ve got no idea what might have happened.

Maybe the truck wasn't torched. It was a Dodge after all. Damn thing just caught fire, dude parked it, jumped out, banged his head pretty good and started walking.

Glad it all turned out well for him, his family, and his friends. Not always the case but good to hear he's safe.

Now I guess this is all we're gonna ever hear from this again. Not any info on what happened, where he was found, how he was found, etc?

I'm assuming not for a while at the very least. If I hear anything that I can share I will. Thank you all for the prayers, theories, and everything.

Add his new truck to the list of his debts. Insurance isn't going to pay for that.

I live in the same neighborhood and have a friend who knows him well. When this started people were proposing all kinds of theories - most were way off the charts crazy (random kidnapping, cartel stealing his identity, etc etc.) In reality when you hear these things it's usually a combination of a few things - depression, debt, drugs/alcohol , or another woman. The simple answer is usually the correct answer.

As well as you think you know someone you never really know their entire story. People compartmentalize their lives. That neighbor you think is so successful just might be living paycheck to paycheck and up to their ears in debt, and drowning in stress.

Glad he was found alive, have a bunch of mutual friends who were all over this.

Side note, that's a weird picture to attach to the announcement tweet...

Great news on him being located. Such a weird story.

The Woodlands guy walking out his back gate makes more sense. Guy just lost it and needed a few days with a special someone to get his head straight.

If you need a few days with a special gal or guy, you dont burn your truck then head over to the motel. This is likely driven by something financial.

Regardless, it doesnt really matter. Guy will get lots of hugs when he returns and then spend the rest of the year in the doghouse.

In fairness, it IS a Dodge. High probability it caught on fire by itself.

The first red flag was that yellow truck. Damn that thing is ugly and an indicator of questionable decision making.


Glad he is alive.

Extreme financial pressure often drives people to suicide or mental breakdown. Regardless of what drove him to do this, I hope he can get the help he needs and that his family can heal. I'd personally be takin my @ss to church and focusing on both mental and physical health.

I hope his wife isn't the super materialistic type who is obsessed with "keeping up with the Joneses". That won't make restructuring life/lifestyle any easier.

She runs an Instagram account titled "Hide It From Your Husband" that highlights all the **** she buys or wants to buy on Amazon. She likes to shop her feelings away.

You don't actually think that's just her wish list, do you? That's a business to her. She makes money promoting these products.

She doesn't appear to have taken his last name in that account. Wonder if that's always been the case or what?
