This is his Facebook page:

Arsim Zendeli (Facebook)

He lived in Fountain Hills, Arizona when he was posting on his Facebook page. IMO, he moved back to Michigan somewhat recently. His Facebook friends list has a relative, NZ, with more info.

He also has these SM:

His family has a "find" website, with not too much info. It's mostly just asking for tips to be submitted:

Police said the young man's vehicle was located at Water's Edge at 2:45 a.m. that same morning with minor damage, and it is believe that Zendeli may be suffering from mental illness.
Arsim Zendeli left his home early April 7 in his vehicle. Police said the vehicle was found several hours later with minor front end damage in the parking lot of Water’s Edge in Grosse Ile.

Is it possible he hit something? None of the searches done by the authorities have found anything. Air, k-9, water, and ground searches and nothing, but if he hit something shouldn't there be some evidence of it? An animal, damaged property, or even a person?

I also wondered what Arsim's vehicle ran into. I would think that LE would be able to tell, to some extent, what made the damage to the car. Running into concrete (i.e. a pillar or wall) would cause different damage than running into a tree/large bush. It is also possible he bumped into another vehicle. I certainly hope he didn't hit a person or an animal, but that damage would also look different. I'm not an expert in vehicle damage, but I have had some personal experience!

Here is a map of the Water's Edge Country Club, and the Water's Edge Marina. I don't know which of these two facilities is being refered to by the police:

I found the same thing when it comes to Facebook . He may have just moved back. I also found a bankruptcy hearing from Arizona that is about to be finished. The timing is weird.

About the car.. I haven’t seen pictures of the damage but depending on exactly where it is he could have hit a parking block hence the evidence kinda stops there.

I wonder if they have looked in the water? Sad to think it, but he may have been upset and went into the water voluntarily.

He's in the water. When it gives him up he will be found.

Hope I'm wrong but this scenario is so familiar.

All I had to hear was that his car was found at Water's Edge. I mean, that shouts out to me what happened to him. But I hope I'm wrong.

Bashka Zendeli said she last saw her son shortly after midnight on April 7.

"He left with the car, and the state of mind that he left in was definitely not him," she said. "We reported him missing at 10:30 a.m. but police didn't take it very seriously yet."

Note: Arsim had a birthday on Apr 18.

Guy + missing car + near water = guy drowned. You can remove the "missing car" part and still have a sadly workable equation. Guy's in the water. Betting shops wouldn't even make this a play.

You just hope that, if he was despairing, some kind soul came along and offered him a ride and solace for awhile, a place to stay until he's ready to face the world.
