His fb (under a pseudonym): Ray Stone

After his disappearance his relatives started posting on his fb. It looks like they have his phone, too. There's also a gf in the picture.

He seems like an upbeat person and happily in love. I wonder if he went with the wrong crowd or found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

His June 2 post:

Through all of my ups and downs, habits, and disloyalty that I've experienced from the onces closest to me, one thing I've managed to do was keep a smile on my face through it all. I broke free of the chains that were held upon me from my demons. Overall I love this life of mine.

I have a few thoughts on this one.

The first is related to his privacy. If he goes by Ray Stone and that is how his friends and associates know him, then that is how his loved ones need to be communicating about him on social media, espcially if they post on his own FB profile. Imagine if he is alive somewhere, exposing anything private about him could endanger him and his family, or could anger or embarass him. JMO. It would be helpful to start a "Finding Ray Stone" FB page. If everyone knows his name is Kyler, then thi is a moot point but overall I think respecting missing adults in terms of chosen identity is important when using the internet to find them.

The second is wondering why LE is so sure there is no foul play involved. Do they think he harmed himelf? I really doubt he just left his things and phone behind and walked out of his home in a tshirt in October to go start a new life without any precipitating cause.

The location he was last seen appears to be an upscale heavily wooded suburb:

There are a couple large ponds and a creek right there, how thoroughly has all that been searched? Has LE used dogs on this area? What about ring cameras on those businesses or homes?

His girlfriend is so hopeful that he is alive and will return. I hope she is right.

His girlfriend is so hopeful that he is alive and will return. I hope she is right.

Sadly, it seems he’s still missing. As recent as March, his girlfriend was still posting about him and how much she missing him.

So sad. She was still posting in October 2021. She loves him so much. No updates sadly

He left on foot without his phone? Very unusual and worrisome.
