Snipping a few quotes that help to explain Bruce's situation:

"Crowley, a drug addiction counselor, had told no one where he was going, failed to deliver medication to a client on Dec. 28, and missed work on Thursday, Dec. 29, according to his coworker JM, a technician at Power of Recovery in Revere. The organization’s website states that Crowley is a “primary therapist” and was pursuing a master’s degree in psychology and addiction counseling."

"About four years ago, he developed a drug problem and was using crack cocaine, she said. He came back to Massachusetts, where he is from, to get treatment.

Crowley lives in Malden at a sober home, which he also manages. He works at the Philip Edward Salon in Charlestown as well as at Power of Recovery."

"JM and D both told the Independentthat Crowley withdrew $950 from his bank account on Dec. 28. “And then he went to Provincetown without telling anyone — not a soul,” JM said."

Crowley has tattoos on his neck, hands, arms, and chest — a detail that might stand out to someone sitting next to him at a bar, Davis said.

On Dec. 28, he was wearing a navy turtleneck under a navy V-neck sweater. He had on black and blue plaid pants and dress shoes with navy blue on the toe and black at the heel, McIntyre said. The surveillance footage from the Anchor Inn showed Crowley wearing dark jeans and a dark top on Dec. 30, Davis said.
