CPS now say they private messaged him.

Ya they edited out the investigating officer's phone number.

Just hold off a smidge. I just want to double check on this one ... will get back asap.

This one is a bit different, because we normally consider the comment section to be rumour, but in this case it is CPS who is making the comment and it appears they are communicating through the comment section.

Well... he put his name, story, picture, friends, posts, and history out there for all to see... it's not really a demonstration of concern for his own privacy or personal safety.

Had he discreetly phoned CPS, no one would know who he is. He outed himself.

He should have but he could have been in a state of panic and was not thinking clearly. His rights may have been violated from the beginning but I don't know the law.

I doubt it CPS is very very tight lipped on their investigations and they rarely put out persons of interest that are not suspects.

Yes true, but it would have been so simple for him to have just made that call instead of bringing it into public. Now it is *really* into the public. I'm sure police also had been trying to contact him before ever releasing his photo.. to no avail.. so where was he? Hiding out? If he was *that* uncomfortable about talking to police, and he is also innocent, he could have just called, and he could have brought a lawyer or other representative in with him when he went in to speak to police in person.

And this is where I worry about broadcasting this person as wanted for an unrelated matter that he is not considered a suspect. What if she was robbed and those that robbed her are also involved in her disappearance and this AP person saw who that was and now he has been identified thru his photograph first and now his name? What if he is truly an honest kid who returned a wallett and now is freaking out because his privacy was violated and now possibly his safety. He must know more because surely CPS would not put an innocent bystander at risk.

There is an 'acting in the public interest' element in LE posting someone they need to speak to. They said he is not a suspect.

There was no need to panic. He calls CPS and they release that they found him, spoke to him, and thank everyone and the man in question for their efforts.

Just as an aside...

Calgary sure has a disproportionate share of strange events, especially when it comes to missing persons.

There definitely has been a lot of odd things happen over the last 2 years. Last year was our highest # of murders in a year in a long time.

Most people I know would have chosen the quick and painless route but this person may be very concerned that he has become a suspect based on his good-will gesture of returning a wallett. Maybe he has watched too many movie drama gangster flicks and is seriously scared for his freedom.

 

[debsy99]

What's the rule about posting rumors?

 

[deugirtni]

I get the impression that police had already been trying and trying to contact him through other means, but were unsuccessful and so had to resort to this measure... which wouldn't have happened if only he had spoken to them in the first place.. so why didn't he? They knew his name and appearance, like his place of work, address, phone number, perhaps spoke to family members/friends.. that is what I believe.. I'm sure they did their underground research first before outting him.

I wonder how long this web story had been published before AP commented in the comments section, ie.. he is obviously watching this story in the news?

Given time stamps at least 14 hours.

In all fairness, he may not have been aware they were looking for him until someone he knew saw his picture online and contacted him.

Not everyone links everything to Facebook so that they get messages instantly.

I guess this is how rumors can tend to get started..

Then why would you post it here?

 

[stan laurel]

I don't understand why they released his photo in the hopes that someone would recognize him and convince him to come forward if they know who he is. Why don't they just go pick him up and ask him?

maybe the pic was lifted off her phone and there is no accompanying name with it?

They said it came from a tip. Chances are someone knew him and the ID story. It's probably their picture... or she could cloud save her pictures...

 

[deugirtni]

I only posted a link bessie, and I thought it was fair game, considering this person right now is obviously a person of interest to police. Although the pic was taken in 'fun' at the time, it also shows a capacity for thinking about such gruesome stuff, and so do his author choices.

Then why would you post it here?
