"Gabe wouldn’t run off, Focaracci said. In addition to his weeks’ worth of groceries, he also bought a ticket to attend a concert on Sunday, June 26, with his roommates. They contacted Focaracci when Gabe didn’t show up. On Monday, Gabe missed work – all out of character for her son, she said, especially since he has not reached out to any family members or friends."

I'm confused about something. He has roommates. The WLOS article says they noticed him missing Sunday June 26 when he didn't meet them at the concert. If he went missing on June 24, wouldn't his roommates have noticed him missing two days earlier, well before the concert?

“We just are at a loss as to what has happened,” Rochelle Focaracci said. “We have to find him. We definitely think something has happened to him. He’s gullible, he wants friends. He’s embarrassed about his autism, so he does a lot of masking and mirroring.”

Rochelle Focaracci has set up a tip line and a Facebook page in hopes people will submit photos of possible sightings, questions or any information that may lead to Gabe’s location. So far, more than two dozen tips have come in.

Right now, Gabe’s car sits at a tow lot in Asheville. An APD spokesperson said nothing of significance was found inside.
