Ah, gotcha! If someone doesn’t do it by tomorrow, I’ll do it. I can’t seem to cut and paste from the Tapatalk app on my phone.

Qmfr:

"Black button down shirt; Black pants; Black jacket with "ARCTERYX" in white in upper corner. Jacket has green string on zipper and green hemming around collar. Jacket may have a hood with the same green hemming around the edges"

Is this correct?

Doing it now. It's okay if they see my pic as Abby and Libby.


(FBI Link for reference:

Eta: Done, I let them know that the NAMUS info was incorrect.

 

[margarita25]

Agree with this. Someone on the Denver subreddit mentioned thinking they may have seen him on Scruff (another app) at some point as well. I'm not sure what kind of tracking is available if you don't have his login but looking into this avenue was definitely my initial thought as well

Bringing this forward, in case.

s marion pkwy to smith lake or west to the culvert under s kalmath st to the river are good places to look if operating under the assumption he walked himself somewhere. how tall are the two nearest bridges?

Bringing this forward.

Bridges? :lookingitup:

Can we please make a collective list of places to search if LE/Adam's family approves?; I can get some local friends/colleagues together and go check it out as long as it doesnt interfere with LE and its oKay with his family. Thanks. I will also get approval from the detective handling the case, so as to not go in places in which LE might want to search first (if they have not done already, surely they've already conducted some grid searches of the area) so as to not contaminate potential evidence, etc. The last thing that needs to be done is contaminate dog scent trails, etc. Time is so of essence right now!!

Snow is supposed to come in again tomorrow I think? :lookingitup:

What dogs have been out and where and when so far?

*Note to multi quote/review search area suggestions submitted so far with fresh eyes.

Eta: I also have some very strong connections here in the local LGBT community.

LE: Can we please get a review of the status of this investigation asap?

 

[margarita25]

Mappers where are you, Skibby, Hollye, Otto...etc etc. I/we need your help please! Urgent!

Eta: FindHG can you please ask your old man to check this out when he has a chance....thank you (terrain map notables, etc).

I'm going to retreat for now until more information is released and LE/ Adam's family asks for more help.

Eta: Please know I am here with bells on to help. My colleagues here know I don't fool around....Holiday/Schmoliday...this man needs to come home. He sounds like such a wonderful person who is greatly loved and missed!

Adam

Note to contact Kevin Torres, 9 News, was great in Dylan's case.

Good Morning all.... Let us not forget Adam Also has connections in Wyoming. For all we know he met up with someone and they drove out to Wyoming. Just a thought.

I shared the news story with Cheyenne CBS and local newspapers. The university of Wyoming ran the info in the campus updates. Wyoming has been covered with the message and the posters

my point was not to bring up legal weed to say it's at all a reason for the disappearance. My intention was to illustrate that, in fact, smoking pot isn't a big deal - all sorts of people do it here but - getting back to my original point, those that do partake responsibly (like I do) try not to drive after consumption, so going out to "after party" with someone, if that would involve imbibing, would be a valid reason to leave your car at home. That's where this conversation started in the first place.

I think on these forums, especially with readers from around the world, it's important to set context about the environment the incident took place in. Plenty of folks smoke weed around here and we leave our cars at home - most of us are normal people. There are still plenty of communities that believe that weed is evil and linked to all sorts of crazy stuff.

ETA: and just to be clear - we haven't seen any evidence of any use of any substances other than alcohol and of the videos we have seen I don't see intoxicated behavior.

I think running through scenarios of why someone would leave the house without their car, after midnight, could help uncover ideas/leads.

He is a nurse so I doubt he was smoking weed. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but i believe they still do random drug screens on health care personnel in CO.

Oops didn’t mean to post anything! Bump I guess.

Oh one thing I thought about. I have not seen much about this on the news. I feel like police may not feel there is a threat, meaning he went missing on his own.

I completely agree it's interesting / in my (layman's) opinion seems kind of noteworthy that DPD has been SO quiet about this case - I definitely found Bsmall's (former LE) insight upthread pointing this out as well to be very interesting/helpful.
I don't know how to do a partial quote here, but from Bsmall1968 (on p 16):

"Unfortunately, because DPD is being VERY tight lipped about this, it makes me curious as to what they know/don't know. Why have we not had statements or updates directly from DPD asking for public help? This is very unusual in missing cases, unless they are aware of something very specific."

It does seem odd. Every news article is pretty much the same, and filled with...nothing, or nothing new at least. Obviously there's a lot going on behind the scenes, but seems weird that they wouldn't have made ANY further statements or wanted to continue to publicize his case and keep it in the public's mind. If anyone has any insight on what this might mean, I'm curious to hear it.

I know I personally keep coming back to the dating site meetup gone wrong theory (the fact that he was on his phone that WHOLE time he was at Syntax tells me he was trying to coordinate a meetup(s)). Followed closely by the leaving of his own accord theory - but something doesn't quite add up in my mind there.

I know where it is. I’m just wondering why that bar hasn’t been mentioned anywhere else. Not on the Find Adam FB, not on the Find Adam website, not in the news.. nowhere.

Should have been more clear on that.

You're not going to see this on the news. This isn't a pretty little white girl or teen honors student. It's an adult gay man. For all the progress we've made society still doesn't care when a man goes missing, a gay man they care even less about. This is the same problem with the police, they simply don't care. I wouldn't be surprised if they make a statement in the next week or so that they've determined Adam left "on his own." That's a nice, even handed way for LE to wash their hands of it and move on to something more important, like a missing girl.

I really hope that is not the case and you are wrong but I would not be surprise.

I wanted to make a posting about LE practices in these type of missing cases. While we all are trying desperately to put the pieces of this puzzle together with very limited information, LE has all the pieces. There are various schools of thought in social media uses in missing persons. Some LE agencies strictly limit public release of information in order to limit the number of tips they receive. For instance, we have talked a lot about the "strange Hispanic male" information that we cannot validate. This type of misinformation can lead to unnecessary calls to the tip lines. This can divert investigators to follow leads and tips that have nothing to do with the case. Therefore, LE does not release a lot of information. This I understand.

However, as a former detective/investigator, any lead is better than no lead. With that being said, we are far enough into this case now that LE should be able to release key information that would help the public put the pieces together. The true goal here is to locate Adam!!!! Whether this disappearance was of his own accord or there is a "third party actor" involved is irrelevant in my opinion. We need to find Adam and bring closure to this case. The family has hired private investigative help and maybe this will assist the family in getting answers.

As others have mentioned, we MAY see information from LE, but I am guessing that we have heard everything we will from official LE sources....which is nothing. No formal statement has been made by LE. Even if they are trying to keep a lid on tips, etc.....we should hear something. I fear that we will not though.

Just want to put a couple rumors/assumptions to rest:

Adam is not a translator for the DEA. He is a yoga instructor and part-time case manager RN at Denver Health which may specifically involve Spanish-speaking patients, I'm not sure.
Because marijuana is legal in Colorado, Adam would not be screened for it nor can they control what he does outside the job (ie in the same way they can't tell you you can't drink alcohol or smoke). Based on what we know, trying to make any connections between Adam and marijuana are presumptive and should be left out of the discussion until there is evidence making it relevant.
