Scary Real Life Situation. Need some advice on what to do.

We are moving back to Canada in June. Back to the real world ;)


The problem here is the difference in haves and have nots. You have one neighbourhood that has 13 billionaires. Then 5 minutes down the road a ghetto with 1000s of people living in tents. Crazy shit.

Apparently the police have some leads and feel they may be on to finding out what happened.

Good news. Seems like they are working hard to find this out at least.

Possible kidnapping for ransom also. Does this guy have money or the company he works for have any kind of history on paying out ransoms?

I would avoid getting personally involved if you have nobody watching your back out there otherwise you risk making yourself a target also.

shut the fuck up you two bit employee. The adults are having a conversation here.

"the cold world" you mean.
Thats going to be a serious adjustment.

Interesting story about the bahamas. Last year (or i should say every year) around Christmas time robberies sky rocket. What happened last year was there was a group of guys that would hold up restaurants every few days. They'd go to the restaurant, take care of the security and rob everyone of their money and jewelery (they mostly robbed the white people and targeted the white restaurants). Anyhow the disturbing part about it was no reports of it in the newspapers or radio/tv. The only way people found was through email and word of mouth. Any news that would hurt tourism is basically not reported.

Living here you really learn to avoid putting yourself in a situation that could be dangerous.

Shap, hit me up. If you remember I was Cop and a Investigator before his career took off for me.

Good news.

that's insane! sorry to hear about your friend Shap. I have 2 or 3 friends who live there as well and they didn't know about this abduction or disappearance. Really scary

good luck in finding him Shap.. now you gotta definitely keep us posted on his whereabouts.

Shap, This is from a PI friend of mine, good luck

Obviously (unfortunately) it sounds like fowl play because of the groceries in the car - and the car still there, door open, the credit card, etc. Was the car door open too? Any blood at the scene? Anything that could have been used as a weapon - rock, pipe, bullet casings, drag marks.....

Does he live near the water? - I know it's an island, but how close to the water? Any footprints leading away from the house. Any lights on ? (like he actually went inside the house?) Was the car in the driveway or a garage or carport?

Does he have a girlfriend, wife, etc. any friends at all? anyone on the mainland? Have they checked with them, relatives, etc. Who was the last to see him? Is it an apartment or regular home. Any neighbors?

Anyone at work mad at him (someone who wanted promotion, etc. anyone fired lately by him, or because of him? )

Where was he going for the new promotion? Obviously he didn't leave with the door open and the groceries in the car voluntarily. Do you know if there was any blood on the scene? Did they dust for prints on the car and front door. Where the cards were used, are there cameras (almost every ATM has them) and if they were used for purchases, did they check with the people where the goods were purchased? WHERE was the card used? Was anyone else (wife, kid, girlfriend, etc.) on the card (someone else that could use it)?

What about a cell phone - does he have one? Did they check the cell and home phones for any calls?
Has anyone called the cell? Check at his office - look for a calendar with any meetings, etc. that he may have put down. Does he have a secretary? Who was the last person to see him on Tuesday.

Go to the grocery store where he got the groceries. did he pay with the same credit card or cash.

Was he despondent, have a bad breakup (wife, girlfriend, or "significant" other?
any financial problems?
Was the car his? or a rental, company car, etc. Has his company (the hotel) done anything to check out all this?

They need a good forensic person. Hell, I'd consider calling someone like Mark Ferman (OJ trial cop - he IS a good guy)

The FIRST thing is check the film at the banks to see if it was HIM making the withdrawls! Check with businesses around the bank and see if they have any surveillance cameras also.

I don't think it would do any good to check airlines, etc. My instincts say fowl play - from the circumstances.

Any recent criminal activity in the neighborhood?

After 24 hours - NOT a good sign. But if someone can check with the bank - does he have a substantial amount of $ in the account being used?

I am sure you are doing everything a P.I would do.

Sad to say, but you really cannot do much better than a P.I

Doesn't sound good..probably murdered unfortunately Hopefully not but you hear about that happening all the time

I'd hire a press agent or someone who can get the story out and make it on the news... if he's alive that's probably your best shot
