I'd just like his full name so I can look into some things. Out of respect, if you'd like to PM it to me do that. He's an awesome guy and helped out a lot around here, this is definitely starting to bother me. A normal absence doesn't usually extend this far, not when you were happy to be directly involved. I mean, even when Ryudo left, he at least kept in contact elsewhere and even poked in but just once to give an update.

My searches in the police databases turned up nothing.
I thought I had a hit but it turned out to not be Wude.

Yama, Ill contact you on Facebook.

Please do not try to look in police databases, that is hard to get away with.

Peter wrote: What difference does it make what the situation is? He was a valuable contributor who hasn't been seen back here, or on his own photography website in over a year. Why shouldn't some of us be concerned? We would do the same if it were you who had left.


A pretty big difference. How many valuable contributors from the past just stopped coming altogether? He's not the only one.

It's weird that there are no traces of him anywhere else but when I hear you guys getting incredibly worried and hearing words like "police databases", then that automatically makes this different and that demands some sort of explanation.

Nobody has found anything tangible at all yet Kenny. He was not in any police database that we know of. I've gotten info from a few sources, put it together and have at least what we feel is some concrete background information. Beyond that, just what my admin capabilities here helped provide, which is his basic location the last day he logged in which also happens to be the last day he was activate pretty much everywhere else. It's likely something happened on or around that date, whatever it may be.

I'm sure it's already been done, but his name for example. Do we have thay? Check Facebook, Twitter or even Google+. Even a Google search? Hope the guy is ok. Yea ok, we do all leave from time to time, but you at least pop your head in. Plus as a moderator you kinda need to log in at least now and again. He would have known that, or at least let Yama or one of us know.

If I remember correctly he lives in Meknes. I will be in Morocco in a few months so if anyone has any information to give me that would help find the guy while there feel free to PM me it.

I did some looking into him with his personal info, name and location. His name is extremely common in Morocco. I do not know what he looks like to narrow it down further.

This whole time I had the wrong last name lol. Error on my part so my investigations prior are now obsolete.

Ill have to do some social engineering.

If there is a way to find out what kind of factory he worked in (I remember him mentioning he had a factory job) that would narrow it down enough for me to find him.

BUMP.

Still no information. A coworker of mine is actually from Morocco so I will be giving him info next time he goes home to hopefully dig up some information.

Hate to bring it up, but this this announcement really pains me when thinking of Wude... He deserves to hear and see this.
