I am hoping I created this thread properly, I did notice the age is wrong in the title. It should be 20, not 22. Can a mod correct this? This is a friend of my best friend's son. Just trying to get the word out.

‘We really want him home'

From the article:
Tri-County Times-

"Kerridge is a 2019 graduate of Linden High School. She said he’s been living with his father in Waterford for about a year."

"Kerridge was last seen Monday, April 19 at approximately 4:50 p.m. His mother said he’s not responding to his phone and no one has seen him"

MOO I haven't been able to find a FB for him, but maybe he used other SM. A Monday afternoon to just up and vanish really worries me.

Please look closely at the above picture of Noah Kerridge. Noah, 20, has been missing since Monday, April 19th. Noah is from Linden, and was last scene between Linden and Waterford.

Noah's information and pictures have been all over social media. Someone has to know something. According to one post on his father Keith's Facebook page, Noah has had a string of bad luck lately. He has no vehicle so he would be relying on a car ride service or a friend(s) to get around. More than anything, his friends and family just want to know that he is safe.

The father's FB indicates he was last scene leaving the apartment complex in Waterford, has there been any other sightings or information that he was headed to Linden?

I was curious if any searches have been conducted in the immediate area around the apartment complex including the woods and small lakes / ponds? Or there's some indication he's left the Waterford area?

 

[GMS]

It's been 2 weeks, and unfortunately, NK is still missing. I know his family is actively reaching out on FB, but haven't seen any updates from LE. I wonder if they believe he's still in the Waterford area?

 

[GMS]

It's been 1 month, and unfortunately, NK is still missing.

The latest report indicates he got a lift to the Meijer's in Southfield @ 7:30pm the night he went missing April 19th. That's the last known location / sighting. I've attached a map for those in Michigan who are familiar with the area.

$2,500 reward offered for information on whereabouts of 20-year-old man missing from Waterford, Michigan

It’s been seven weeks since 20-year-old Noah Kerridge disappeared when he went for a walk near his Michigan home -- and his family tells Dateline they just want to know if he’s safe.

“We just want him to know that we’re looking for him and that we miss him,” Noah’s stepfather, Josh Whitson, told Dateline. “We just want to make sure he’s OK.”

“We’re out here daily posting flyers, talking to people, and just looking for any signs of Noah,” his stepfather told Dateline. “We’re hoping someone will recognize him from social media or the news and contact us.”

Waterford Township Police say they are actively searching for Noah and anyone with information that might lead to his whereabouts should call police or 911.

Noah, who had been working at a local gas station in Waterford at the time, is a 2019 graduate of Linden High School where he ran cross country and was on the robotics team.

His family created the Facebook group “Help find Noah Kerridge” where they organize searches for Noah, post updates about his case, and messages directly to him - with the hope that he’ll read them.

Hard working young man. Cross country runner. Knows Robotics. Where is he?

Wondering because he was out a car and depending on rides would that help finding out the different people he was getting rides from?

 

[spyblond]

JMO- the family seems to be speaking directly to Noah. This leads me to believe that they think he left voluntarily. I wonder if there was any sort of disagreement or fallout before he left.

 

[GMS]

I've been following the case from the beginning, and originally from the same area in Michigan, so it's peaked an extra interest.

Below are some timeline notes along with questions that seem to stand out.

1. NK tells Dad he's going for walk @ 4:50pm. It doesn't appear he took extra clothing or anything that would indicate he intended to leave for an extended period of time.

Did it start as just a walk and then turned into meeting friend/s later that night? Why didn't NK tell or feel like he could tell his dad he was going to meet or hangout with friends if that was his intended plan.

2. Family confirms NK gets a lift to a Meijer's store approximately 30 miles away @ 7:30pm that same night. This is the last known reported sighting.

Why this Meijer's? There are Meijer's closer to where NK was living with his Dad. Was he planning to meet someone who worked at this particular store or one of the other stores in this strip mall? NK didn't have a car...so he had to rely on Lyft, Uber or friends to get around, so it was an effort to travel to this particular location.

3. NK phone has been turned-off with no communication to friends, etc. since the evening he went missing.

Was this a plan to walk-away? or did he meet someone, and it turned nefarious with foul play? I feel like if NK had planned self-harm, there wouldn't have been a need to travel to the Meijer's and the surrounding area.

MISSING: Noah Kerridge went for a walk in Waterford, hasn't been seen in 2 months

Kerridge, from Lyndon, told his dad he was going for a walk to clear his head on April 19th. He was last seen leaving the apartments, where Whitson lived - off Cherokee Drive in Waterford.

Noah Kerridge never came home.

"He blocked friends and family a couple of weeks prior to that (on social media), which is not normal," Whitson said.

Other than that, his step-dad says Noah had no documented mental illness or odd behavior.

When Waterford Township Police got involved in the missing person case they tracked a purchase Noah made at Meijer in Southfield, at Telegraph and 12 Mile.

"They saw him on a camera and that was the last physical location we know where he was at," Whitson said.

...snipped by me

The lead investigator of Waterford Township police told FOX 2 they’re actively tracking all social media trails and credit transactions Noah might have - none though since Meijer.

I guess they need to figure out how he got to that Meijer, for starters. Why had he been living with his father, recently (year)?
What was the purchase at Meijer? Have there been any searches around there?
I hope this young man is ok and just needed some time away. I can’t get a firm guess on this one…

Hoping Noah is blissfully enjoying fireworks and carefree life this weekend and will be in contact his family as soon as he can.
