What a nice smile he has. I wonder if the family has checked hospitals, not for accident but for possible cerebral or neuro issue. My Dad had a mild stroke in his 70's that left him unable to really process who he was or where he was (at the time). He was found fairly quickly (at home on his property) and taken to the hospital and recovered fully (he lived to be 101, healthy til the end). But it's scary how quickly it can happen to someone seemingly healthy and fit.

I am going to take this sentence to mean that he didn't have a cell phone with him, since his family said their texts to him weren't going through. MOO

"Schwarz did not have a cell phone and his car was left behind, according to detectives."

Oh no, this is less than two miles away.

'We want to know what happened': Family of missing Liberty Township man pleads for answers

60-year-old Scott Schwarz went missing from his apartment at the Liberty Center in Butler County on the night of Friday, Aug. 9.

She (his daughter) flew home to Georgia and said she sent some texts to her father when she landed.

Victoria said none of the messages went through and were showing up as "undelivered."

That's when she told her mom that something wasn't right.

"She said she hadn't spoken to him yet, but he was planning on going into the office, and that's kind of where we expected him to be," Victoria said.

There was no sign of him at the office.

Hoping this isn’t the missing man since it’s been reported that his car was left at his residence…but then again, he could’ve had a “company car”/work vehicle.

True. This article gives a little more information - found in a supermarket parking lot, and the vehicle had been there for "quite some time." So, perhaps this isn't Scott. If not, what a coincidence. MOO

Peace to the man in the car in the parking lot.

Where is Scott?

 

[mlhenn]

I can’t find any type of update.

Unable to find any updates. I wonder if they have been able to check if he used Uber or Lyft. I’m thinking he could have been headed to the VOA Music Fest. It’s about a 5 minute drive and it was the first night of the event. That could explain why he left his car. Concerned because this is supposed to be a safe area.

Or, what if he walked? It’s about a 45 minute walk. He looks in decent shape in photos, and not sure if he was the type. What if he had some sort of accident at the fest (if he made it), or on the walk to/from? It would have been dark out, and there are a lot of possible hazards around. I wonder if law enforcement has been searching the wilder areas between his apartment and the park?

If they haven’t checked, they need to see if he bought a ticket to the music fest to ascertain if that’s where he was headed.

There must be blind spots though, right? Otherwise, they should have been able to track him coming out of the apartment. He can’t just disappear into thin air.

He didn’t drive away, so he either left with someone else, left on foot, or is still there.
