[caradana]

There but for the grace of God go I, this situation. The complexity of the circumstances and all that went unreported and was, MOO, blindly accepted … !!!!!!. I pray that they are both alive and living life in some radically independent way, free of all this.

Has it been ascertained who exactly reported Bake missing?

Has it been ascertained who exactly reported Bake missing?

No, it hasn't as far as I've seen.

Has it been mentioned anywhere what the initial investigation was about?

The article I read stated that Blake was realized to be missing during a homicide investigation. And that FPD’s homicide unit has searched 3 locations in connection to this investigation.

Can you recall which article?
I've tried to read many but due to my location I can't always access them.
I hadn't seen that LE had shared that information yet, just bits on sm from birth family.

I agree. I hope they escaped whatever was happening and are found alive and living independently. However, my gut says something else is going on. These two were failed by many people, IMO.

However, according to police, the family only reported him missing recently as part of a separate police investigation.

Police and the FBI confirm they searched three locations in Fayetteville last week, but haven't disclosed the specific locations.

In March 2024, while police were conducting interviews as part of a separate unrelated investigation, several members of Blake's family said they had not seen him in years. He was reported missing at this time.

BBM. Homicide? Do we know if the adoptive mother is alive? Or was this about some other (third) adopted child? Or something third entirely?

I'm thinking something else entirely. That's just me. I hope they're working hard and will let public know info asap, because this situation is so strange and eerie. I cannot stop researching!

 

[DoctorRose]

Does it explicitly say that the first investigation was related to a homicide?

 

[Laughing]

Will this prove to be similar to Adam Herrman -- a sibling turned to LE when they could not find their brother?

Does it explicitly say that the first investigation was related to a homicide?

I’ve only seen the news article stating that the Homicide Unit (along with FBI) is investigating. I haven’t seen it specifically stating that there has been a homicide or the reason for the first investigation.

I’m not sure if Homicide would only investigate known homicides or would they also participate if it was suspicious missing persons?

On March 27, FPD's Homicide Unit, and the FBI searched three locations in Fayetteville as part of the expanding investigation to find Blake.

Right so the homicide unit is helping look for Blake but we don’t know if they were part of the previous investigation that led to police learning that Blake was missing.

 

[lightofmine99]

Why would a bunch of relatives start bringing up Blake during a homicide investigation?

 

[PeregrineFalcon]

Or came back to get him maybe?

That's what I've been thinking as well. Kinda hope it's true.

 

[Regal Beagle]

Any idea if the adoptive mom is in touch with LE?

 

[LaylaD]

Any idea if the adoptive mom is in touch with LE?

I’ve wondered this. If she isn’t cooperating, that may be why there are no current photos?
