Two people on Facebook have commented and said they spoke to him via phone the night before he disappeared...so the timeline seems correct, at least.
Did they mention anything about the phone calls? I know that I almost never talk to anybody by phone. It's usually texting or social media. If I'm making a call, it usually means that I have something specific to discuss.
Forty-eight would be really late for symptoms of schizophrenia to show up. Typical onset for males is by age 25. If he had it and it went untreated I think it would have interfered with his life and career years ago, and if he'd had it and been treated I'm not sure if he would've been able to keep his career.
And for someone who doesn't know (like a family member or his doctor) to say he was a paranoid schizophrenic is odd. It's specific and what would he be based on?
Depression is another thing entirely though.
My hinky meter - am I using the term correctly? - says mental illness isn't the issue here.
Mike's smart, he's had a great career and I find it hard to believe he wouldn't have a sizable savings. Regardless, he never struck me as the type to kill himself. Something isn't being said, but I don't know what it is. I mean, it took three entire weeks for any details except "he's missing" to come out at all. It just doesn't set right with me.
the implication of being overwhelmed is that he did himself in.... but i suspect if that were the case, there would some evidence... e.g. his body would be at or near his house. as it is not, that suggests something other than suicide, in my opinion.
Unless it just hasn't been found yet. It took over a month for Leanne Bearden's body to be found near her home (suicide, TX). And she was found simply because an older homeowner decided to check the back of his property. This case hasn't had a lot of publicity... have they asked local homeowners to check their properties? How big are the lots? Are their any vacant lots or other undeveloped land nearby?

It's an active community with people mowing yards and kids everywhere. Also, they had cadaver dogs out with the crime scene unit. It's possible they missed it, but doubtful that he is nearby... one would think the odor of a body would significant after this mich time. He has been missing since late May... so we are pushing 2 months at this point.
Also, there arent really any vacant lots or undeveloped land immediately nearby (I guess that depends on your definition of nearby). A neighborhood across the street has some undeveloped lots, but it would seem (to me) illogical to go there. Lots in most neighborhoods in the area are around 1/4 to maybe 1/3 acre. Which is basically small enough to visually survey pretty fast; plus people mow like it's religion here... so I am sure the yards have been seen.

According to the Facebook page, he left without his shoes as well. How far could he go without his shoes?
