“I understand that they want to protect the investigation but they haven’t let me know what direction they’re going in,” Dumas Sr. explained. “I haven’t talked to them and they haven’t given me no details.”

“I understand they got video coverage of him in the store, but none outside the store, what car did he get into, was anybody following them, doesn’t seem like it’s moving productively enough for me,” Dumas Sr. told News 19.

Missing Alabama Man Was Last Seen Leaving Liquor Store Over 1 Month Ago. Police Say He Wasn't Alone

Family members are reacting to new details about the disappearance of an Alabama man more than a month ago.

Jan 20
Police said security camera footage from the night of Dumas’ disappearance showed the man entered a liquor store on University Drive with two women just before 10:30 p.m. local time.


Dumas “was later seen leaving the store” with the same two women

In a casual comfy outfit. For sure he realised there are always sec cams in liquor shops…But then disappears and phones are shut down.
Another “R. Borgwardt” type of case ? Not so extreme but I do see why LE does not believe in foul play for now.

Isn't it odd then, in that case that le searched the water and area multiple times with canines and divers?

Just a thought that popped into my head, without having seen the video. Maybe he wasn't actually "with" the two women. Maybe they happened to enter the store at the same time he did, and perhaps he politely held the door for them. They might've even said "how's it going" or "thank you" or other small talk. I'd guess that most people already know what they want when they go into a liquor store, and once they found it on the shelf, it's very possible that they happened to reach the cash register(s) at the same time. Plus, if it was at 10:30pm, the store may have been closing, and the cashier(s) were anxious to lock up and get home. If he happened to hold the door for them either arriving and/or leaving (especially), it could appear that they knew each other and/or were leaving together. In other words, maybe it was just a coincidence, and the two women had nothing to do with his disappearance?

JMO MOO etc. etc. etc.

My observation and opinion(s) that may or may not be unpopular:


<modsnip>

As far as them believing he is not endangered, it is easy to look at this and wonder why that is (and I do to some degree), but if all available footage of Mr. Dumas after he went missing does not show him in distress, even if he is with unknown parties, they have to take that into consideration. We wish LE could treat every missing person case as if they are endangered because you never know, but unfortunately that is not realistic and adults do have a “right” to be “missing.” MOO.

I do hope that if something bad has happened to him, then he is found quickly and justice is served as swiftly and solidly as possible. And I hope that if Mr. Dumas has done this of his own accord and is still alive, that he comes to his senses ASAP no matter the reasons why, and stops putting his loved ones through this. MOO.

That’s a good point. Either way, whether he was with them or not, why haven’t they come forward? Even if just to say “we saw him, he held the door for us.” The fact that NO ONE has come forward with ANYTHING is what bothers me the most.

I’m hoping it’s not that LE doesn’t “believe” there’s foul play but that they just can’t find any proof or actual evidence that would point them in that direction. I totally get that they need SOMETHING to go on, and unfortunately the only “evidence” they have is that he’s still missing after all this time…but that’s not proof of anything.

It could just be that some people strongly dislike law enforcement
