I cannot find any updates other than something from I think a family member in 2023 saying that they were going to hire a private investigator.

Curious about the alias' choices ?
Hope his family has answers soon.
I'm guessing voluntary disappearance, but that's somewhat scary if he's contacted no one at all !
Omo.

This article states that some of the community were "concerned about him and the rest of our homeless" Does that mean Mr. Wells was homeless? He owned a Mercedes Benz but they say nothing about his residence. I did find through the white pages an address for him (he has an unusual middle name which is mother has used in social media). It's in King County Washington, an apartment complex, but I can't verify that he was actually living there at the time of his disappearance. No court records, criminal, civil, or domestic in the Fife area county court records, or in King County Superior Court records, so I have no idea why he'd be using an alias(s).

Still no answers after Tacoma man disappeared in 2023, parents ask for help

Eric's parents told FOX 13 their son was driving out toward the McKenna Yelm area in March 2023 to meet someone, when he had a flat tire. He hasn’t been seen since.

www.fox13seattle.com

While Eric did not live in Fife, his last known location was at a hotel in that city, which is why the Fife Police Department is investigating what happened, according to Assistant Chief of Police for the Fife Police Department, Doug Newman. "The leads are very sparse," Newman said. "His disappearance is of a suspicious nature, and we do have some information that Mr. Wells may or may not have had some struggles as many people do with substance abuse."

..."The challenge really has been to try and find significant leads in people who have last seen him," Newman said.
