It’s sad there’s really not much information on this man’s disappearance.

Questions we wish we knew answers to:
The article said he was known to frequent the Somerville area. How did he usually get there? By taxi, Uber, or bus (since I note that he’s legally blind.)
Does he have any low-vision aids he uses regularly that might make him stand out like a magnifier, special eyeglasses, a cane? Does he use a cellphone? Did he live alone? Did he work? Was he despondent?

The article from boston states he is blind in one eye and wears a contact in the other eye. Also states his sister filled the missing report on the 21st. Said he would go Davis square, but no real place is mentioned and credit card was last used at a starbucks in Cambridge. He's in his late 50's and most people in this area that age and hanging out in Somerville will usually get their coffee from a dunkin not a starbucks. So not sure if it was him using the card, no video available. Sister said he had gone out the night before to a local bar to watch the game, but didn't mention the name of the bar.

Thanks for the update. I think this is the article you are referencing:

Legally blind Arlington man still missing three weeks after disappearance

Edward Leydon, 56, of Arlington was last seen wearing jeans, sneakers, and a blue windbreaker jacket on the morning of March 20.

I don’t know if he actually ever was at the bar to watch a game, but that the sister had assumed he may have gone there (jmo):

Leydon was reportedly asleep when she last saw him on the morning of March 20. When she came home that night, Charlene assumed her brother had stepped out to watch a game at a local bar, but she became worried and filed a missing person report the next morning when she still didn’t hear from him.
