Seemingly these men just vanished!

Quite puzzling!

Weird.
I wonder where they worked. And why won't LE say where they found the car? That's not helpful.

Two professionals, just gone. Assuming they are together. Hoping they are together, safe and in no danger.
I just have a bad feeling that this could be a dangerous situation for one or both of them.
Positive thoughts for these two guys.

It is home to Tufts University, which has its campus along the Medford and Somerville border. Wikipedia

New article, nothing new, unfortunately.

Mmm, very skimpy on the facts.
This weekend is the 10 year anniversary of the Marathon bombing in Boston.
These two remind me a little of the two guys missing near Atlanta - Jason and Kenny.

Pavel was in Montreal in January, I wonder if he goes to Canada often?

I wonder if Kiryl's profession is a factor here. I'm not suggesting that he was doing anything wrong but cybersecurity is a field that can involve controversy, investigations and litigation (or worse). There are lots of possibilities here. Pavel could have simply been with Kiryl at the wrong time. It would be good to know where they found the car, if they found cell phones, and if they searched the Locust Street apartments.

Odd, but WHDH has edited their article to include "Sunday." I sure don't see anything happening anywhere, and it's 10:40 AM on the East Coast. MOO

Authorities are expected to provide an updated Sunday morning on the investigation into two missing Medford men.

I looked and couldn't find anything either.

These men are from my town, and the disappearance is very odd. The apartments they are missing from are in a fine area of Medford, and relatively expensive. It’s not clear if they are friends, roommates or partners. Not that it matters except understanding the relationship for getting ideas about them missing.

Same time given on another station for press conference but it’s well past now. I wonder if it didn’t happen, or maybe did and no news coverage?

Sorry just saw this was already posted.

Lots of things happening in the area this weekend due to the marathon tomorrow, and I wonder if all the coverage is focused on that.

Moo
