That's really sad. Sounds like he walked into the ocean.
@findem I came here to say this
Why wait 7 months to say something???? This is weird! It should have been since day one that he disappeared that they should’ve raised their voices.
@ainacct they’ve been saying this for the past 7 months , it’s just now picking up traction
they put in lots of effort and money to find the killer of a CEO but not for anyone else. huh. 7 months is too much for "all efforts"
This sadly sounds like suicide
@coquicoquii Why would he take off his shoes and socks to commit suicide ?
