I’ve talked to the police already, but they are limited in what they can do. There also may be issues of addiction which make him skittish with the police. The last of his family recently passed away and I live out of state and have inherited responsibility for him. Just hoping some people may have info that would be of use.

This is so sad.

It is. He’s a brilliant individual but life hasn’t been easy and I fear addiction may have gotten the best of him but I’m hoping to help him turn that around.

I hope you find him.

I appreciate it. I think odds are that he’s somewhere in the area still, so I’m hopeful.

If this is real I hope you find him. But this seems like a troll.

I get that the internet (and specifically Reddit) is weird, but this is no troll. It would be an oddly specific one to post into a local forum as well.

This is a guy that’s had a very unfortunate set of circumstances unfold in addition to his disability that has left him unsupported and unprotected. I don’t know what one would get out of a troll of this nature. I’m just looking for any confirmed sightings so I know where to start my search and his last known place of residence was in Hamden, CT.

Why don’t you hire a private investigator or come to Connecticut? I want to believe you and would be willing to help but I smell something weird about this

I plan to come to CT, but I don’t live local anymore - I’ve resided in DC for over a decade now. This is part of why confirmed sightings will help me to hone in on my search. I’ve looked into PIs as well and may hire one, but most have seemed unreliable and have pretty steep fees with no guarantee of results.

I’m not asking for anything aside from a potential “hey, I’ve seen a blind guy in the area recently that fits the description”.

If you want more details or a picture feel free to DM me and I can provide that.
