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

  • #441
To the JLB gang,
We have all done whatever we were able to do given our circumstances.
I am in awe of some of the posters on here who have worked so hard (you all know who you are), I would be proud to have any or all of you as friends, I truly mean that.

People like you are the exception to the rule nowadays unfortunatley, but while there are people who are willing to look out for others, then we have hope.

Somehow, Johnny has slipped out of our grasp, I, like most of us on here was so sure we could have brought him home and I really think that we almost pulled it off, even without knowing hardly any of the facts.

It doesnt look like there is much being done in the search for Johnny and that is sad, there is more to this situation that we dont know, I'm certain of that and some people need to look at themselves and ask if they truly believe they have done everything that they could to find Johnny.
There was/is a fantastic network of willing helpers here, on the ground, in the area that Johnny was last seen, why has it not been utilised properly?

As far as comments made on the threads concerning Johnny, there has never been anything negative, vindictive or hurtful from anyone, we have been frustrated at lack of information, the reason being, we want to help, we are concerned, we care!

If any of the Family read this post, please get in touch with us, let us know if you need help, we can think of different approaches, different angles and so on. Our thoughts are for Johnny, nothing else

Fab

Loved this post, Fabgod!
The frustrated part is so true! We want so badly to be of some help, but we have nothing new to go on. Does life just go on after several weeks of losing a loved one? I am action-oriented and I don't see any action other than what goes on here. I'm sad for Johnny because he seems to be a non-story now.

Please--if you are family and you do read here, take Fabgod's advice and get in touch with us! We want to help!!!

Well said, Fabgod! Today is the first day that I have gone to google, switched to the "news" function, and searched for "Johnny Brown Myrtle Beach" - and I get nothing - nada, zip. If I modify the search string to "Johnny Brown Missing", I get a hit for a completely different Johnny Brown who went missing in July from Columbus, Ohio. So, this case has officially fallen off the radar. :banghead:

I usually Google "Johnny Lamar Brown Missing" and the results I get are my Topix posts, WS and the old news stories---that's it. Even cartersville doesn't have a follow up story. I'd be banging the door down at my local newspaper to keep the story active. Heck, he's not even my family member and I've tried to do that here! Johnny CANNOT just fade into oblivion!

I just updated all of the Topix posts I have out there. I like to see Johnny's name on the main page in the forums and polls section!

Anyone can do this in your own town. There's no big registration and you can use any name you like. If you comment on it it will show up on the main page. I just keep commenting on my own post to keep it up there. I'm not sure who actually reads Topix, but it's something....

I love to plan parties, so I DO hope we get to have one when Johnny is found! And yes indeed - I think Fabgod needs to be here!!! :rocker:

You aren't far at all . Wow! Wouldn't that be amazing ?

fabgod, what an awesome post! You really do rock. What a caring group of people.

MissJames, you are so right about "keeping on keeping on" with this thread. Even when we think we don't have anything new to say, we can always say that we do care greatly for JLB, and hope and pray he is found soon. It's up to us to keep the thread moving, in case he, or someone who knows where he is, may see it.

To Johnny's family, we care about you too, and if you do run across something that is important in finding Johnny, please let us know so we can continue searching. I know we can help find Johnny if we can get the info we need. God bless you.

I am so proud to be a member of Websleuths with all of you...Nonni

I haven't been able to get it up either. Maybe it was taken down?

I'm sure that's the case, Fabgod. :woohoo: They are most likely getting the new FB page ready to put up with all kinds of pictures of JB on it and information galore! It'll probably be up in an hour....:moo:

Does FB have any rules about soliciting funds? :what:

ed. to add
Only wondering because the "old" facebook did ask for funds to help the family. I wasn't sure if that was OK with FB and if not it might be why it's gone?

I don't know Peek. I don't know if FB has any rules at all. Some of the things I see posted are somewhat over the line at times.:gasp: I know you can press a button and report it.

I wonder if a FB page can expire if no one ever updates it...ever?

Just popping in to say my hands are really numb from being sat on. I read here everyday and pray Johnny finds his way to those that love him. Sticking my hands back under me now. :)
