Just heard about this missing persons case via the Yahoo article. Very sad.

Unfortunately, it's not surprising that there are very few details about JBT's disappearance. Other than that he was last seen at a party, there aren't really any other details/clues as to what happened here.

However, I suspect that - unfortunately - he did not just vanish on his own to start a new life somewhere else.
