Hey may not have intended to be gone long. Run to an ATM, meet up to say a quick "hi" to a friend...any number of reasons that someone might wander away for what is expected to be a short moment, especially in such a populate area with so many bars, restaurants, etc. nearby.

Potosi is my hometown. Weird that it's happening there after happening here. :(

He's from my hometown. :( We just went through a high-profile missing person case here in Columbus. Hoping Brandon is found safe. This is happening all too frequently.

That's my feeling too. If someone told me a friend had gone missing, I would find it incredible and text/call as well.

Do you have a source? I checked their website and didn't see any reference to this. And wouldn't he have been here yesterday if they found a male in his 20s in the river?

Well...probably for a while. But they don't typically just let them go. If there is any possibility that a victim could ID the perpetrators or location, they probably dispose of them.

If it was a very violent crime, the victim's face may not be identifiable. :( The clothes seem like it would be enough for the family to ID the victim. His prints wouldn't be used for identification. Unless he's had a government or public school job (or a prior record), his prints wouldn't be in...

I'm not convinced that Joey was a victim of human trafficking. Perpetrators of human trafficking typically target vulnerable populations (prostitutes, drug addicts, teenage runaways, etc.). Joey wasn't any of those things. He was an athletic, college-educated man with a job and by all accounts a...

There are a lot of assumptions in this post.

The convention center where the Arnold is held is just a few blocks down High Street from Union. AFAIK getting to the Scioto would have been a pretty major detour.

I just got a 10tv news alert saying a body was found in the Scioto river.

Skeletal remains...sounds like they've been there for a while. I don't imagine that it's Joey. But hope they identify and announce soon.

Absolutely. Back when I was single, I was driving down High St. in the Short North and I had to pull into an alley to turn around and in my headlights I saw a guy who looked like he was getting roughed up by another. I honked, flashed my lights, and put my car in park and got out and yelled...

But this, coupled with the fact the from MY location 5 miles away he also appeared to be at Union, means that it's likely that's where he was (and he was known to last be seen). It's not exactly triangulation, but if he was 5 miles from me (and so is Union) and X feet away from you (also Union)...

It doesn't give an address; it shows a location on a map, as well as battery level of the device. It can only be disabled if you know the user's Apple ID and password. It will work so long as the phone is on, but obviously if the battery is dead it won't work. I have to find my mother-in-law's...

There is no inherent shame in using location-based dating apps. Like everything, it's about exercising judgment and moderation.

The one I found Joey on was not Grindr, it was Scruff. AFAIK Scruff users can't be pinpointed to their exact location.

I wouldn't necessarily expect CPD to let me in on any information they find should they choose to pursue this route, but they could. I left my name and number when I gave them the tip. At this point, they haven't followed up with me for any additional information.

The particular app I saw his profile on (not Tinder) doesn't use location services in the background, so the app would have had to have been open for his location to update. A profile will show a different color dot to show online status (green = online now, orange = online recently, and gray =...
