Hi All, am I reading into this too much? I just reviewed the FAQ page on FB. It states that the last call on his phone was to/from Ida. She says she last spoke to him at 9am. Does this mean he received zero calls or made zero calls after 9am? Seems a bit odd for a guy working on location (not in an office), and uses his phone for both business and personal, not to get a call between 9am--2:45pm. And yet the phone goes dead at 2:45 with hardly any use?
I would think a guy that works on location far from home and is using a business phone, would generally fully charge it the night before in case his union supervisors, coworkers, and family would need to reach him.
If this is the case, we can conclude that the battery didn't die from use, the phone was purposely disabled. Also, unless he had a throw away phone no one knew of, hard to believe he voluntarily walked off with a GF or someone. He would have surely made a call to tell them "plan on time" or something of that nature. If you're planning to walk away from your life with someone else, you are surely checking in with that person at some point to make sure all is on schedule.
And, if you are that careful to have a 2nd phone for this purpose, and are careful enough not to make even 1 suspicious call on your regular phone that day, why take the company phone with you? Why not just leave it in the car even after you disable it?
Maybe I'm just grasping at straws and reading too much into it, but more than ever as each day passes, I am sadly fearing the worst for RM.
