Found Alive CA - Joshua Thiede, 29, Los Angeles, 11 Feb 2018

[rosesfromangels]

Hmmmm, have any of you been following the case about the firefighter who went missing from NY and showed up a week later in California? Still dressed in ski gear, including his ski boots and helmet.. talk about a head scratcher. What's the deal with these guys going missing, then found not knowing what happened to them? Been a few if these lately.

A Toronto firefighter who mysteriously went missing while on a ski trip to upstate New York has been found "alive and in good health" in California, New York State Police say:

IMHO, it usually involves a woman. And one they aren't supposed to be with.

Are there any MSM links to verify, now that he's been found, that Joshua disappeared due to drugs, a secret relationship, or other reasons warranting an apology? Or that his mother didn't travel because she knew it was related to drugs?

If not, does Websleuths as a victim-friendly site still apply? Or is that waived because it's okay to mock him for his shoe material? Would it be okay to mock him if he had died? Hmmmmm ...

I feel the same way. I don't get why all the joking is necessary. Whatever happened to him, this was probably the worst week of his life and the lives of his loved ones. I get that people want to have some fun but there are better places for that.

In fact, if this incident was a result of addiction or mental illness (or a host of other reasons) the journey is far from over for him and his family.

If anything, his story brings to light (at least to this forum) some innovation in alternative materials for footwear that are animal friendly -- what a wonderful thing!

This was already explained a few pages back, but.... nobody is mocking him. We are all happy he is safe. We are just speculating about what happened and having fun with vegan footwear.

This seriously gave me a good laugh! The radio silence on this has saddened me..which of course adds to our speculation!

Thank you. I 100% agree.

And repeating the question was warranted.

Thanks. I know how to report a post on Tapatalk, but the option is not currently appearing for me under "More." It has happened in the past and will hopefully be fixed when they push out the next update. That seems to take care of the issue.

I am going to guess we will get little to none, from here on out.

Someone up thread on one of the first pages commented that he looked like a really nice person. I remember thinking the VERY same thing...But soon realized there's so little on his FB that I was basing my opinion soley on the above (devilishly handsome) photo lol

Agreed. I feel like it'll be handled pretty privately.

His Mom posted on.fb that he was highly traumatized..

This, and the fact he didn’t know where he was for a week, makes me think foul play is involved. I know I’m in the minority for thinking so but some things don’t add up for it to be straight drug binge or a week partying/getting away from it all. I think someone threatened him/kept him locked up/drugged him, like an acquaintance with a grudge or drug deal gone wrong where he owed debts or something. And maybe he escaped and is too scared or ashamed of the repercussions to say anything?

I think that possibly there is foul play involved and because his case gained media attention so early on the people involved freaked out and didn’t carry out what they had planned and just left him on the street disoriented to be found. Something similar to what Jessica Biel’s character went through in “The Sinner” show that was on USA recently. Just MOO though

Maybe. But did we ever find out if the car was being moved to avoid tickets? If so, then I think he was just on a bender. No one else would bother moving his car, imo.

And I think there were also reports of sightings of him during that time. If those are true, then I think he was just hanging out and binging in a drug house. We have seen it before.

If it was foul play, I can't see why they would let him walk around alone on the streets.

LAPD was pretty clear when they said it was not a crime.
