In a check of publically available court records for him in either his county of residence or the last county seen was a fairly recent judgment against him in small claims court (less than $5000) that appears to be in default. A small claims hearing is scheduled May 4 of this year to review payment.

Appears to be 2 judgements ~10k total.

These appear to be credit card default judgments.

I live here in Provincetown - but no one I know has heard anything about which guesthouse he was staying in, whether he checked out of it, or what he did while he was here. People are concerned and curious and wishing there were more details. Our community facebook page is filled with questions. If I learn anything solid I will certainly post it here. We are surrounded by water and vast stretches of woods and dunes with lots of hidden spots. I'm out wandering there, off the trails, with my dog almost every day... I'm keeping my eyes open, sort of with dread.

There definitely seems to be a lack of follow up information in the news and I’ve been wondering if maybe he’s no longer missing and that just wasn’t broadcast. If he is still missing I hope they share more info and keep alerts active and known. Thanks for sharing info!

Was he spending the weekend with someone or solo?

 

[polywog]

There have been some recent articles in the NYT and other places about the rash of drugging and robberies of gay men, mostly happening in bars - I wonder if that is a reason that not much info is being released? Maybe the police are investigating something/someone and are not releasing details to protect the investigation? I'm only guessing, of course - but it seems like New Years Eve in Ptown has potential for plenty of opportunities for some creeps to attempt this. I can't think of why else there is so little being released about this disturbing case.

I agree, it’s odd. Maybe there is something calculated about the lack of info but if not it’s also disturbing so little being said since I agree the potential of it being sinister given the circumstances is there. It’s a bit distressing that there was of course the huge missing person case of AW getting a lot of news space in the same timeframe but now there appears to be another missing woman case in MA to the west and it’s in the news. As a female I feel its ok for me to say I hope gender doesn’t play a part in what is deemed newsworthy.

There is no news on Bruce and today is his Birthday. It's a very sad day, especially for his family.

Thank you for posting this. I have known Bruce for almost 20 years. I search the news every day for any kind of update.

<modsnip - quoted post removed - verification needed>

Thank you for updating I’ve wondered if he’s been found and am sad to learn he remains missing.

 

[Knox]

Do any of you who know Bruce have any ideas as to what may have happened to him? Anything troubling him recently? Did he have a SO? What was found in his car? Keys, wallet, cell phone?

 

[WingsOverTX]

I am curious if there is any video of him in the lot where his car was parked. Has anyone at his accommodation that weekend been interviewed?

Bank or credit card transactions traced? Do we know where he dined?

 

[Jbetty567]

I am related to Bruce and he is still missing. His family members are sharing this flyer now to try to keep the police and the news working on finding him. Thank you polywog for keeping an eye out as you walk. I do not have any answers I am just posting to keep the search going.

I’m in MA and there is very little available info on this case. I hope the police are keeping the family updated on their efforts to find Bruce. If they aren’t, they may need a push.

There doesn't seem to be much of anything to go on. I'm most worried about the car being abandoned and the length of time that anyone has heard from Bruce.
