SC SC - Johnny Lamar Brown, 44, Myrtle Beach, 3 Aug 2012 - #2

It would be WONDERFUL to know if they took even one more picture of him that day, one where he is looking at the camera.lease:

I agree! It would also be wonderful to see some photos of him where he might have facial hair, to know whether he's naturally bald or shaves his head, and maybe a little more information on whether or not he has any relatives inthis area. Actually, there's a lot of things I'd like to know....

I have a question,
the poster that is used for Johnny, MissJames has a copy of it on her posts,
when did that poster get released?
Is that poster made by the family?

 

[Peekerfoo]

I was drawn to this case after listening to the radio show with Johnny's sister. I considered her air time as a sort of endorsement, and thought his missing status was certainly important enough to check out after that.

Even though I am too far away to do anything constructive, Johnny's plight has had my full attention ever since.

Again, I have the utmost respect for the many of you who have worked so hard to find him, as well as to keep the case updated for the rest of us following. Bless your hearts!

May tomorrow be THE day...

~jmo~

Shana, that is the statement of the day IMO. It was no secret that some of the people helping were from WS and the radio show confirms that.

I wish everyone felt the same sense of urgency that we do in locating Johnny. Maybe he'd be home by now.

Peekerfoo,
what date did you see Johnny?

From Reannans timeline, how did the family know to search the businesses Johnny was seen at?
Where did they get that information from?

Did anything ever come of the search for "Angie" does anyone know if "Angie" was white (as in the same white woman Johnny was seen with the day after?

I just got an e-mail back from Brianna. First of all, let me say she is a sweetheart. I don't think I can talk about some of the e-mail so I'll say most of it in a generic way.

-She feels the same as we do and has most of the same questions.
-CUE will not return her calls.
-LE has told her there is nothing new to report (no sightings...nothing)
-She would love to do another story about him, but has NOTHING to work with.
-If anything new comes up she will do a story.
-She told me to e-mail her anytime and thanked me.
-Her frustration level is the at the same level as ours due to circumstances beyond our control...

I give her so much credit for TRYING.

So, that's where we're at. Sorry the news isn't better.

I find this odd that CUE are not returning calls from a Reporter?
I emailed CUE a while back, but never received a reply, I put it down to the fact I am from a different country and they probably were too busy but to ignore calls from a reporter who can get the word out there?

I don't know the exact date, but I was told it was the same day as Johnny being seen at the Flea market. Without going back to look right now, I want to say it was August 24th.

I don't know the answers to your other questions, but I'm sure someone does.

I was shocked by that as well. Nothing makes any sense, does it?

Yes ,it was Aug 24th because we were there on the 25th and you told us it was just the day before.

IIRC I copied that picture from one of Summer-Breeze's posts or a link from one of her first posts. :waitasec:

 

[fabgod]

Thanks MissJames
So we havent got a sighting since august 24th, not good

 

[Nonni Brenda]

I don't know what else we can do, you all have done so much. Thanks to Briana, it sounds like she is trying hard to get some answers. My heart is still heavy for Johnny and I pray that wherever he is, someone will help him find his way home. His family must be devastated.
You guys here are fantastic. You all deserve (((((((hugs)))))).

Thanks TxLady 2. You deserve hugs too. No matter how far away, your caring and concern for Johnny comes through loud and clear. Thank you for the encouragement and kindness. We have all done our part. :blowkiss:

BBM I agree with you completely Peek!

 

[MissJames]

Thanks MissJames

None that we know about .

The idea that Johnny might be in 96 or Mauldin (?) must have come from somewhere.

 

[MissJames]

I was shocked by that as well. Nothing makes any sense, does it?

So TES was coming ,then it was postponed ,then put on indefinite hold.

We heard info that CUE was working hard and there were dog hits,but now there is no contact with the media looking for info.

I have my own theories about why there's a breakdown with these amazing resources ,but I'll sit on my hands.

I think we may be the only ones saying Aug 24th was the last sighting based on our personal experiences.

MBPD says it was Aug 5th at an ice cream parlor with a white woman.
Has anyone seen anything different ?
I know MBPD and Surfside followed up on the sightings between Hudson's Flea Market and Denny's but most of the sighting info since August 5th came from sources we aren't allowed to discuss here.

Nonni, I haven't done anything except pray for him and for his family. I don't know why his case grabbed me so, but it did. I will keep praying, that's all I can do. Thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot.

 

[Steely Dan]

What is taking so long on this? :waitasec:

 

[Peekerfoo]

What is taking so long on this? :waitasec:

We could tell you ,but we can't discuss it at the present time.:what:
It is beyond frustrating to feel so helpless, Steely Dan. We can only do so much, but I imagine with some help from others Johnny might actually have been found by now. You can lead an emu to water, but you can't make him drink....

 

[Peekerfoo]

I have a somewhat (ok very much) OT story that happened today that really drives home the need for family involvement when a person with special needs goes missing.

As some of you know, my Mom has Alzheimer's Disease and lives at an Assisted Living facility near me.Today I was driving in to visit her and she was walking on the main road that leads to the Highway. It was truly divine intervention that I saw her because I was actually going to visit later in the day. I can't imagine if I'd arrived ten minutes later where she would be right now. They have moved her to the Alzheimers unit now and she'll have to wear an ankle bracelet. I have been so shaken and upset by this, that I spent most of the day breaking down in tears.

My point is--I ALMOST lost my mother today and I'm a basket case. She wouldn't know how to communicate where I lived or maybe even know my full name. She is safe, and I thank God for that, but I'll never understand how anyone would not be frantic if their loved one was missing. How can that be possible? And WHY?

Exactly what I am thinking, all the sightings even the confirmation of the Ice cream parlor were not LE.
The jeans sighting was confirmed by the same source.

Do we have independent confirmation of the dogs hits or is that the same?

Wow! That was divine intervention. I would be frantic too.
