He works at a golf course.

Sometimes parents don't know the whole story. I don't think it is anything sinister. I think they are trying to convey clarity, grasping at anything they can to help them find their baby. I am married to an addict. He is in recovery 5 years now. His mother was very involved in his life and she didn't know the truth about a lot of things. He could have said whatever to keep them from worrying. We need to focus on finding him and not blaming the family for their missteps in an unimaginable situation.

Just an insight...if you have an addiction to one drug, you can NOT do any "mind altering" substance. Not to share to much of my personal life, but I am a recovering alcoholic..been sober for seven years...If David was a heroin addict, and he drank alcohol, it was only a matter of time before he went back to heroin. As someone said before, he was setting up different "stories" to get away from his parents because he wanted to use. Relapse happens in your mind way before you actually use, drink, etc...moo
I do not think anyone is blaming the parents for anything. I can only speak for myself... I am just wondering if they have info that could be pertinent without realizing it. I agree with what was said that they are giving more bits and pieces as they become more desperate. But, definitely not blaming the family for a thing.
My apologies in advance if this has already been discussed. And this is mostly due to the fact that English is my second language, but according to David's mom:
"He had 2 small suitcases, and 4 shoeboxes for his shoes (he keeps all of his shoes at home in boxes)." (BBM)

Is it safe to assume he took the shoes, not just the boxes (I'm sorry ... I know this is a silly question, but I wanted to make sure)? Or did his parents find the shoes without boxes at home? And if they didn't, have the shoes been located, and if so, where (e.g., still in his car, in the womens' possession, or yet someone else's)? I also find it somewhat interesting that the parents know how many boxes/pairs of shoes David took. Maybe they were checking his closet on a regular basis to make sure he wasn't hiding any drugs in there ....
I am wondering because one theory I can think of is that David was intending to sell the shoes for drugs or for cash to buy drugs with .... In any case, it may be worthwhile for LE to try to locate the shoes (no easy task, I'm sure). Or maybe if the parents or friends have pictures of these shoes, they can post them on the FB page (or at least descriptions).
I also think it would be helpful to have a VI with this case in particular. I don't believe I have seen any posts from David's friends or family, other than his mom, on the FB page, either. It would be nice to get someone else's perspective, IMO.
I am also going along with the heroin relapse. He had already had several relapses on alcohol so heroin wasn't far behind. As a recovering addict myself, the relapse happens long before you pick up the drug.
I hate for this post to be buried but there is no news. David's mom posted on David's FB page a couple of days ago that said nothing new.
Any news in the LE investigation? What about girl 2 and uncle? Their story doesn't add up...even a baby can understand that.
The only thing I have seen is that the mother posted that the girls have not been named. The name of one is circulating but no other info.
Not a lot of new information. David's mom posted on her FB that the PI (I am assuming they hired one) believes he walked away.
