SC SC - Johnny Lamar Brown, 44, Myrtle Beach, 3 Aug 2012 - #1

[fabgod]

I'm just hanging out waiting for J to show up. I have about 25 questions, as follows:
Ask about FB page, make it more personal, not just about donations. Who is maintaining FB page? On FB talk about how he says certain words, special mannerisms, his capabilities. Better and more pictures of Johnny.
Does he remember phone numbers or have them written down. Ask why J thinks he has stopped calling, or has he?

what do you think is happing right now? in Cartersville? Atlanta, MB?
anymore sightings you have heard about?
Have you heard from Rev and Rubypop? What are t he doing up there?
Is Cue still looking? where: any leads?
Did LE tell you not to talk to us or not to work with us, exactly what did they tell you to do? do they want you and family to continue to look or come home and stay?
Start a reward fund. Cue can help also Writer has offered to help?
Call Ctsv police and tell them to call GBI and have him added to missing persons. GBi will put him on Mattie's Call list, for disabled and elderly. YOU have to do this.
Where are your friends, church members, is not one helping you and supporting family?
did he have money on him? What instructions did you give him when he left to go to Family KIngdom Where he was allowed to go, how much money to spend?: did you tell hin to come back at certain time. did he have a watch. does he walk around town by himself at home. has he ever gotten lost b4?
What is his concept of money? can he make and count change?
What exactly is his mental functioning? IQ? Has he ever been evaluated/diagnosed? What was that diagnosis, and by whom?
What did you feel was LE's attitude about searhes and search groups?
How capable is Johnny away from family out in the street? Can he walk to get food alone? How often did he go out alone when at home? Any problems then? If so, where did you find him then, and how long was he gone? What has LE told you that we at WS don't know about? What do you think has happened, now that there are no more sightings? Is Johnny on disability? Who is his legal guardian? Can he tell time? Was he wearing a watch/ Does he usually get a taxi by himself here at home? Would he ride with strangers? Hitch hike? has he ever been arrested/ Would his finger prints be in the system? Has he ever been in the hospital? Does he have insurance, or medicaid, medicare? If he needed medical care, how would he/you pay for it?

Nonni Brenda
Would it be worth asking what Johnny is attracted to, like would he stay by a church because of his Father and possibly his upbringing or would he for example like to be at shopping areas or Mcdonalds and so on, maybe the ocean or amusement parks - it might help to narrow down the search a little

LOL I don't know about amazing, but I do have some interviewing skills. I was a mental health counselor for Dept of Fam & Ch svcs. I just saw the picture of the man in Grady hosp who was shoot. It does look like him.

I'm starting to panic!! I'm freaking out worried Julie isn't gonna show up!!!! Hey Nonni, when J gets there just go over to your keyboard and type an "H" meaning Here!! That way I can settle down!! Let her know so many people are praying for Johnny's safe return!!!

 

[Peekerfoo]

According to his Namus file Johnny does not have any tattoos.

I will say he does look a lot like Johnny, but the guy at the hospital is 190lbs and Johnny only weighs about 140 (probably less by now)

 

[Nonni Brenda]

The family need to see this,
I think Peekerfoo found out Johnny had no tattoos when she was looking into the body in the water a couple of days back but Im not completely sure and the height of this man is put around 6 feet, Johnny according to the various missing websites is anywhere between 5 feet 6 and 5 feet 11.

If Nonni Brenda is here it would be worth pointing the family in this direction

Thanks longtallcold

Hi fabgod. It does look like him, what we can see. But I believe is is shorter, and lighterweight. When/if Julie gets here I'll show it to her. I just called her and left a voice mail asking if Johnny has any tatoos. another thing, his hair is shorter that Johnny's would be if he hasn't had a haircut.
Wonder where Julie is?ullhair:

I wonder why he stopped calling home after the first few tries. That really worries me.

We really don't know if he has stopped trying . It took a while to find out he called home in the first place. I'm not assuming anything anymore.
We know he tried to use the phone at Denny's 2 weeks ago .

You can see Johnny's file here. It's a little sparse, but it does not have a check mark next to tattoos. (Click on the left side of the page for info)

Have you heard anything yet?

 

[Simp]

Nonni isn't on here right now. Maybe Julie is there. (crossing fingers)

 

[Nonni Brenda]

All I can say is ,there's a disconnect between what we are being told by family and what's going on.

When I call JB's sister she has not had a problem giving me lists of places to check out,places to contact and other things to do. She's always asked I continue ,even with things only the family can really do ,like contacting TES.....
snip...

Given all she asked me to do with each phone call I thought she wanted the help.
I've been following her lead,but when they don't follow up with anything ,it does make me wonder what's really going on.


Oh, MissJ, I so see what you were talking about way back on this post. I have waited for 2 days for Julie to join me to put out fliers. Of course I didn't feel like moving. Today I have expected her to come over since 10am. About 15 min ago I called her and left a message asking if Johnny has tatoos. She just called me back and said, Oh, Ms Brenda looks like I'm not gonna make if over there today (about 2 mi. away). I'm sitting here with my family and talking about all this..." I asked if Rev and Ruby were home, she said they are on their way. I told her I have a lot of questions that may help, so I'll just come over there and can get input from the rest of her family. She said that she hated for me to do that, she'll just come over here for a few minutes. I told her no, I don't want to take her away from the family's discussion, that I'll just call her tomorrow with the questions. WTH????
:gasp:

Well Simp, looks like your feeling was right. Won't be typing an "H" tonight. Something stinks to high heaven here??? :what:

I feel so bad for you, Nonni. You gave up your entire day to wait for her and she didn't show up. I didn't think she would, but I was hopeful. How many times will something like this happen before people realize that something about this is just plain strange? If it was your loved one would you not make the effort to talk with someone who has the eyes and ears of thousands of people on WS? Of course you would--we all would if we thought there was even an iota of a chance that someone could help. Who were the first people here beating the streets to hang up flyers and ask questions? WSers. Who has been in contact with the family in GA and offering every kind of help imaginable? WSers. Who has made contact with CUE and everyone else they can possibly think of? WSers. Who has kept this story in the media? WSers.

All I can say is that there is NO EXCUSE for this.
I'm sorry she let you down, Nonni Brenda, but more importantly, I'm sorry that she let Johnny down....

Oh,
I'm certain we've missed plenty . I just don't know what .

 

[MissJames]

I have to go pick up my two granddaughters who were in a wedding tonight so their mom and dad can enjoy the reception .

I don't know what to think anymore .

Enjoy your granddaughters, MissJames. Check in when you can.

I sense the defeat in your posts and I understand completely.

 

[MissJames]

JVM just had to get the picture up of "a beautiful ,young woman" who boarded her dog at the vets and hasn't been seen since .

I do not begrudge that family getting their daughters info out there , but what about all the Johnnys?
