Found Deceased MA - Michael Kelleher, 23, Boston, 29 March 2017

[BostonMom]

I agree that something is going on in Boston. This first caught my eye last year when Zachary Marr went missing after being kicked out of bell in hand. It was the coldest night of the year in Boston and the man was no allowed to go and get his coat. From there he walked to an ATM close by and about a month later he turned up in the Harbor. This is not a coincidence, and in my opinion BPD needs to put more of an effort into searching different parts of the water than just under the Zakim bridge. Can Uber release details about where he was heading? Possibly show credit card charges or ATM withdrawals from when he left the game until he was last seen? What happened between 9-940 when he called the uber? it takes no more than 10 minutes to walk to Paul Revere Park and if this kid had season tickets to the Celtics, then he would be familiar to the area. It was also cold and rainy that night why would he be walking to a park and be outside for that long alone. This all does not add up there are questions that need to be answered. The following attached article shows multiple males disappearing all around the Boston area over the past decade or so.

It was reported there was no activity on his debit or credit cards.
I have lived in the Boston area all my life. I have been to many events at the garden yet I have no idea about the area!

What time do the games start? Trying to get a sense of how much he missed (around 9 am ) translate to how much of the game would he have missed?

Now I am down into the "drug" hole. I suppose we can say this about all cases, but there is something other than the going missing part.

We had much more nuance on JOey, the cell phone the texts .

Zachary the smoking, the texts etc

Dakota etc

We are missing the first link motivator to leave a game you paid to go with and abandoning your friend? Both bizaire behaviors IMO.

I smoke , room looks like China on a day where they are wearing masks!! So I get that, but all one would have to do is exit a door where noone is and keep the door open so you can back in. Maybe that is what he had been doing and he accidently got locked out.

WHy not text her and tell her to come down and let him in. Staff as the event moves along get less involved take breaks eat socialise etc etc

I guess I am curious about what stories she told. She is the beginning of the series of events IMO. That IMO is a big gap here.moo

Could he have hit blackout and forgot where they parked?

Was she over his behavior and pissed and just left?

Was it her car or his?

Did they stop serving and he went to get a drink?

Run out of ciggs?

Needed to puke?

There is just something "off" about leaving.



Do we know times he tried to Uber? It would make sense if it was right around when the game let out for it to be hard. Will Uber let you know right away sorry we have no-one avail?

How much cheaper is Uber than reg taxi! What is its allure? Why did it take off the way it did? Everyone has cells (cept me!) so people could just call a taxi like the old days.

Just rambling!

I just wanted to point out how impossible it would be to just leave a door blocked open or have a friend come and let you in. North station is the bottom floor, then you go up a series of escalators and go through the security check point. Then you can take an elevator if your seats are way up high. There are stairs you can go down to the bottom floor when you leave, but there are guards at every floor and additional guards who patrol the stairways.

North Station/TD gardens are considered a primary target for a terrorist attack in Boston, they have bomb sniffing dogs who regularly patrol the bottom level.

Their security measures and no re-entry policies were implemented after 9/11 and tightened even more after the Boston Bombings. Once you exit, there is absolutely no way back in.

are you ok with pretending like you are a reporter and telling your audience the most bizarre, scary and or funny uber experiences?

I am confident I am not alone in looking forward to your post should you feel inclined!!!!!!!

I wish I had crazy stories to tell! But most rides were uneventful, thank goodness. Actually there is one in particular comes to mind that could almost tie in with the missing men. About three years ago, I received a ride request from a college age man. The pickup location was behind the TD Garden in Nashua street. I was a little guarded because there was no reason why anyone should be over there at 300 am. The bars had let out and there's not a bar or building or anything at the pickup location. As I'm driving over, the passenger calls me. He's asking me how far away I am and wants to make sure I'm coming. I assure him I'm on my way and I'm less than ten minutes away. Well a few minutes later, he calls again to make sure I'm coming. Now I'm getting more concerned and I almost canceled the ride. The majority of passengers don't call the driver because you can watch the route the car takes.
I finally get there and it's the passenger and his friend about the same age. They get in and start telling me this story about how they just escaped from this cab driver. The cab driver was on the phone talking in a different language. The friend happened to understand what he was saying. Which was to the effect of he was going to drive around with the two passengers and run up their fare. So the they called him out on it and demanded to be let out. The cab driver apparently pulled out a knife and was yelling at them. They managed to get out of the car and request my ride.
I probably wouldn't have believed them but they were so genuinely scared and thankful that I picked them up and got them home that I really don't believe they were lying. There was no reason to.

Hey guys, first post here but I'm just going to throw out my two cents as a LEO.
1.) Something was obviously pertinent enough for him to get out of his seat at the game and leave. A few options here: he was in a big fight with the friend, had some disturbing news, or he went to a drug deal. Possibly more, but these are my opinion.
2.) His route is so unnatural, from what I've read and seen on here, that leads me to believe that whatever he was doing was either done to protect secrecy I.e. drugs or, he was legitimately lost. He had a phone, however, and plenty of places to ask for directions, which again pushes me back to the drug theory.
3.) There is an obvious, albeit strange, pattern with these disappearances. You have intoxicated young men who, having been one myself, are much more vulnerable to committing to ill-advised acts that they wouldn't otherwise. This could be also a few things. Could it be women praying on men by their allure? It's happened in my jurisdiction using online dating sites and the like. Or again, drugs? Perhaps both? Your typical SK doesn't prey on young men, at least not in a typical manner.
4.) The picture of him walking just throws me off. The manner in which he is walking and more importantly, the way his hand looks holding that phone, seems very indicative of someone on heroin. The way the hand is canted is very similar to many people I've seen on it whose hands just don't sit right during the high, almost as if they forget their own posture and gait. Of course, it could just be the way he holds the cell phone.

Either way, I hope he's okay and I hope that if it is drug involved, nothing permanent comes from the incident. I'm just giving my opinion based on what I've seen thus far.

I also thought that it could be a drug deal that would make him leave. But as I thought more about it, it seems to
me most heroin addicts are not also heavy drinkers. I really believe if he did leave for drugs, it probably wasn't heroin or any type of opiate/opiod. Maybe cocaine or weed?

Also the picture that is being used on some of the flyers was taken minutes before he left the game. That picture didn't look like one who is high on opiates. In fact, his pupils seemed on the larger side as opposed to the "pinned" look that would indicate opiates.

Thanks! And I could see it being something besides heroin. Even something as small as weed would make someone new to the game nervous if they're having to do it behind friend's backs. That would explain the extensive traveling. I know a lot of people around here will travel to the big city to hang out and make a day out of their drug buy.

Nice to see some new posters here.
I've lived in the Boston area for 50+ years and see no evidence of a SK or foul play. I followed the ZM case very closely and I think he was alone when he went into the water. The common thread in all these cases is heavy drinking and being separated from friends resulting in a fatal accident that nobody is around to prevent. It doesn't happen frequently with women since they use the buddy system. Men are too macho

:Welcome1: CherrokeOne. Thanks for joining the discussion.

So I just have 1 thought - BBM on your #4 "The way his hand is canted". I can see it in a drug high. I can also see it in neurological problems, injury, etc, but in a single still frame taken from a likely reasonably smooth video it could be as simple as stopped mid-motion. For instance taking out his phone, bringing it forward and then turning it over to look his friend's text. Frozen mid motion before he turns it over. It just seems to me that a still is not enough to see how his gait really is. Stop anyone in mid motion and freeze it. People have all sorts of odd candid quirks. So we don't really know if he is just holding it that way while he walks or if it is a more fluid motion, albeit for someone drinking heavily.

SO JMO, and welcome to the forum

I agree with that, for sure. One of my first thoughts was some sort of mental illness, but that would've been public knowledge by now. Then there was what his dad said, which made me even more so think drugs. But you're right, without seeing the whole video, he could've just been flipping his phone. It just sticks with me because many of the people I've dealt with who are into different drugs, keep their hand in that position while high. It's like it effects their brain so bad they don't realize they're doing it, even though they walk and talk....for the most part lol...just fine.

And thanks for the welcome. 😀

The image of Michael from that night, do we know when or where that was taken? Seems weird that there arent more videos with him on it.

They do this on most all of these. They have video why dont they release it in video form. Someone might remember passing someone more if the showed it as video. The gail, whatever, but in any context IMO if one has video play it , it gives much more context.
It took them what a year to release Joey as video.

In none of these, these are not "close up" cameras they are more panoramic. It can't be like Zachary just popped up on video and went in. There has to be a precursor in terms of watching him or anyone.

FOr the Boston Marathon intially they did stills but really quickly got out video. The fort Lauderdale shooter they did the little video.

It can't be that cameras pick terrorists as video but missing young college men seem only to be stills.

I have pondered in some cases if the victim was so blasted that they were walking sloppy, but in the beginning of a case that would draw attn. They are gonna do a tox screen anyhow when seen so they all seem to go down in history as being blasted

There are all kinds of recall cues when seeing video maybe someone did not remember him exactly but noticed another person near him . That triggers seeing him etc etc a car in the background ..............

IMO its frustrating and confusing

[CARIIS]

Could he put in multiple requests?

Order an Uber, wait 5 minutes, order another one because you feel like it should be there already, etc

He's not a city regular so I wonder if he was nervous about being out alone and trying hard to get back before he missed his ride home.

The friend said she knows why he left. She told his family and investigators but they're obviously choosing not to disclose it.

The find Michael Facebook page isn't being run very well, unfortunately.

But then doesn;t that have to take us to something nefarious? He is drinking age, he smokes, so if noone is releasing that ( including her from the onset then really I think the only place left to go is drugs. What else could it be??

Open for another notion in which a family member does not want to put out every detail

I have no idea why I am moving more from buying to dealing - but I have no reason why that has just started to "feel" more like that.

The game is almost over hey give me an hour and I will get it then vs I have someone who wants to buy $500 of X - the motivation and willingness to miss a game that he is obvious into makes more sense in this context .

The motivation for leaving when he did, IMO is huge angle to this story.

As I said before, his card could have declined. You can store numerous cards. Instead of trying a new one, he may have continued to request the ride under the same card, thus, repeated declines.

It seems (this is like Grindr not ever helping as far as we know) that Uber would be able to provide a lot of these questions - if card declined, if driver showed and did not find him, demand at the time he tried - all that data , on Ubers, end has to be IMO, easily accessible.

This is the data age !!

Again who knows maybe it was a driver they have had some trouble with and don't want to open all that up .

Maybe he got one and something really bad happened in the car - he escaped and had to try again - Uber would want to say little just rambling

Maybe he was being totally obnoxious and the first driver dumped him out. He tried again, the first driver let the driver that picked up the second let the second driver know he was really a mess, or threatening, or fearing like he might need to get involved with transporting someone to the hospital for some medical emergency .

Regular Uber users - what have your experinces been in terms :

how often they dont find you

how often is it when you have to wait a long time

how often is the app problematic

how often have drivers made you feel uncomfortable for what ever reason

How often do they try to jack up the fare by taking the most efficient route?

IM(not super uber knowledgeable)O the uber requests failed means the transaction didn't happen at all, many reasons but if there was a network error they recommend you restart your device. He may have done so and tried without it going through more than once. My phone (iPhone 6s) likes to restart randomly.

I've tried Uber once and wouldn't dream of using it again (although it was in its infancy when I attempted to use it).

My experience had me stood outside a train station for an hour and a half after three attempts to book and nothing arriving... it does happen.

So he brought $500 worth of drugs into a game he is going to be patted down by security before entering? Doubt it.

I can answer these from a drivers perspective.

I would say Less than half of the time it is difficult to find a passenger. I usually call the passenger if I'm having trouble. I think most drivers do because our ratings go down if we cancel too many times. If your rating drops too low, you are deactivated as a driver.
These days there are so many drivers, you can get a ride fairly easy. Unless there is a big event like a concert or sporting event.
A driver can try to jack up the fare but there is record of the route. THE passenger, driver and Uber all have the details of the route. A passenger can submit a fare review and be refunded part of the trip fare if Uber determines the driver purposely took a long way around.

Any other questions, let me know! I'll do my best to answer

 

[Electric Sheep]

Yes, it would. They could have been parked in the North Station parking, right under the Garden, but that is the most expensive option. Two young restaurant workers would probably choose a cheaper option.

Speaking of Grindr and adding in tinder and others too, there's a few possibilities other than drugs for why he may have left in middle of game if something unexpected came up that might not be publicly stated. Drugs do seem the most likely scenario but not the only one.
