FL FL - Noel Beckman, 48, Fort Pierce, May 2015

[Equestrianista]

I am posting my biological Father. He was last seen a few days before his birthday, which is may 5th 2015. Me and him have never been close, and he has been in and out of prison most of his life, and mine.

He was living homeless in some woodsfor the past couple of years with a large homeless groups who all knew my dad well, and when I came looking for him right after i heard he has been missing (January 2016 is when i found out he has been missing) they were all concerned for him as well and had not seen him since before his birthday.

I found out he was missing when his exgirlfriend (a shady woman, who the cops are very familiar with, and im not fond of....) messaged me on fb out of the blue to inform me "have you seen your dad sweety? No one has seen him in months. Im not trying to scare you, but you know they found a body in the woods in lakewood park right? We all thought it might be him."

Upon hearing this, i immediately went and spoke to a detective who assured me they dont believe the body is my father's and they are waiting for DNA results to come back as they already think they know who the man is. Whew, a bit of a relief there....but...where IS my dad?

I spoke to his cousin whom he has always been VERY close with, and he too had no seen him since a few days before his birthday, and my dad told him "i just dont want live anymore" (my dad has a drug problem and mental illness)

So i filed a missing person report. It was a bit difficult to convince the cops to let me file one, i had to explain that my dad IS suicidal and a danger to himself. Im thankful they allowed me to file.

Now, my dad was awarded SSI and was getting $733 a month. He uses his cousins address for his bank statements. I recently found out my dad has a little over $7000 in his bank account that has not seen touched since the 1st of May in 2015. My dad had previously been overdrawing his account every single month until after may by atleast $50 bucks.....therefor, i am certain my dad is not alive and well somewhere. And it breaks my heart. I just want to know where he is. He deserves a proper burial. And to know that i do love and care about him despite our past. Where are you, dad???? :'(

(Also i tried to enter him into NAMUS back in January, i submitted all the info i had including the case # yet it is still not on NAMUS. Very frustrating....!)

Equestrianista, I have been 'following' you and your dad's journey over on the UID forum and am very glad you were able to post in this section as well! I am not very good with words, but wanted to let you know how much respect I have for you and your desire to find your dad or find out what happened to him. I can't imagine how I could possibly be of any help to you, but you (& your dad) will be in my thoughts. Everybody deserves to live and die with dignity, regardless of their past actions or inactions. I wish you nothing but the best, take care and please keep us updated!

 

[Equestrianista]

Thank you so very, very much! That means a lot to me!!

My job is very time consuming, so i am not able to post here as much as i wish I could. But I will keep everyone updated.

I sincerely hope that you find him Equestrianista. Did the police check to see if he's been incarcerated in a city or county jail somewhere in Florida? Is there any chance he could have left Florida and been arrested in a different state?

 

[Tulessa]

Oh gosh Equestrianista. Prayers that you find answers.

 

[Equestrianista]

Thank you for your support.

The detective on his case has already checked into jails and prisons, supposedly nationwide, and he is not there.

 

[Equestrianista]

Not much of an update...but Just letting ya'll know his whereabouts still remain unknown. Have not heard any further info. No possible sightings. Nothing at all.

Very sorry for what you are going through.

Did you (or someone on your behalf) search the funeral homes in the area? If he passed away "unclaimed" then they may have just sent him to the funeral home to be cremated and then included in the periodic spreading of ashes. Harsh I know but unfortunately I have had experience with this.

Equestrianista hasn't been seen her for a few years, but I see her father is still missing, so perhaps the 2023 search wasn't for him, or wasn't successful.

I know I have not been active here in quite a few years. But it has been hard for me to even think about him, most of the time I try not to....but then, I can not get him off of my mind and wondering where he is..where he isn't... and why did this happen? Could I have prevented it? And I feel guilt as well, because there were times he had reached out to me (via my FB messages) and I did not always reply for long periods of time (when he went missing I was living across the country, in California...and did not even know he had been missing for nearly 6 months...when me and my hubby moved to my hometown in Fort Pierce and when I went to try and find my dad/see him/contact him I could not find him and everyone told me no one had seen him for 6 months.... we were never close, I was raised by my grandparent's..my mom's parents...and my dad had his issues, was in an out of prison most my life, on various drugs, and I believe at some point was possibly diagnosed with schizophrenia (and heard a story of him once attempting suicide but have conflicting stories on whether it was via crashing his car or cutting himself or a combo of both...) but I do KNOW he was collecting SSI disability for mental health issues from a couple years before and up to him going missing [it was the fact he has his bank statements mailed to his cousin's home and reading them after he been missing for over 6+ months and them showing he had collected over like $7,000 in SSI payments all LEFT UNTOUCHED after he went missing that made me KNOW he was no longer alive...all he had was those payments to live on and had overdrawn his account by $50 EVERY month up until he went missing......] but I always wonder if I had just spoke to him more...not been so far away...would this have happened? Could I have saved him (from himself...or whatever caused him to go missing) and it eats away at me and it's so hard. The wondering, and never knowing, is the hardest of all and I feel stuck in a time loop when I think about the whole situation...

There have been no updates...I have heard nothing...and it is a deafening silence...

Thank you for those who have reached out to me, and have tried to help keep his search and memory alive. I love you dad...I am so sorry to have let you down.
