"Sentimental ties to the beaches" doesn't sound good. I'm guessing there were some mental health warning signs.

I wonder if surveillance was done around the car before it was recovered, and if so, for how long.

My first guess would be rip currents.

Have not been able to find any additional news.

Someone in Florida could be baker acted and no one would know. I’m not sure how long they keep you but I had a friend that was falsely baker acted by an ex girlfriend and I think he was gone about a month. That could be a possibility.

I wonder how do you get to this possibility?

I wonder how do you get to this possibility?

Extremely far-fetched IMO. Sounds like a case of self harm.

 

[oceanstarryeyes]

I wonder how do you get to this possibility?

If he was arrested there would be a trace. Baker acted no one knows so it could be a possibility. Only in Florida

If he was Baker Acted, they'd be required to release him within 72 hours. If he voluntarily agreed to stay, then yeah, he could be holed up somewhere in a treatment facility. Oh, and yes, they can do an involuntary hold too but that is unusual.

Why was he in Florida?

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Fredrick Huffman is now in NamUs.
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

First name is currently spelled "Fredrick" in NamUs.

Fred left home saying he was going to the bank and to run errands. Did not return. Reported missing to Atlanta PD on Oct 26 and they assigned a Report number. He texted me early the next morning and they traced the cell phone. Our automobile was found abandoned with his wallet and phone in Flagler Beach FL on Oct 29. Extensive search including helicopters, boats, and dogs found nothing.

I hope he is found safe soon. Wonder about the text message? I feel for his family.

What did the text message say?

 

[ChatteringBirds]

What did the text message say?

I wonder as well. Under Circumstances on NamUs, the reporting party said he sent her a text message the morning after he went missing, but it doesn't say what the text said.

(I can understand withholding that...)
