Spreading the word at my office. Lots of younger folks here who live on that side of town.
someone told me they just started a volunteer search at the corner of lenoir st and fayetteville st next to the marriott hotel.

Kind of sad that his friends left him, lying down drunk on the side of the road.![]()
From my understanding, it was an unrelated group of people who didn't know him.
I pulled it up on Google satellite. Like someone said, it is smack dab center city. There are no bodies of water that I can see that would be 'walkable' from that area. Raleigh is also a relatively safe city downtown - or it used to be - so I can't really see someone just randomly grabbing him off the side of the street. I think I would be checking alleys in case he had an accident, or I would be looking at storefront cameras to see if, when, or how he walked away from the bar. There should be plenty of video around there.
Girlfriend's story doesn't seem sketchy for now, but we all know how that can change with a quickness.

The family of an Apex man missing since Friday night focused their search near the Raleigh Convention Center Tuesday, after two Shaw University students provided a clue to his whereabouts.
Vandemerwe's mother, Becky Daly, said the Shaw students told her they saw him lying on the ground outside the convention center early Saturday, and they even took a picture of him. When they offered to help him, the students told Daly, he declined.

So we've had folks say it is "safe" downtown.
I commented last night (to friends, while downtown) that it amazes me one place you see this guy who is doing crazy dancing motions while crossing the road. Obvious mental impairment. Then less than 60 feet folks sitting in front of a bar drinking $12 beer.
There is a large homeless population downtown. There are a lot of drugs downtown. I would not walk alone downtown, and I don't think anyone else should.
This case sounds just like Jacob Lipp's
both went missing after arguing with their g/f and being left behind after leaving a bar
I bumped Jacob's thread if anyone is interested in looking at it!
There a LOT of cases similar to this one. Often, there is an argument, and they often occur because someone is really tanked.

I wonder if they tweeted the picture of him?
