[AnnaGrace]

I'm really glad to read this update and that they're still searching. I hope he's OK and is safe. Hopefully he'lll be located soon. My thoughts are with his family.

Is it just me or does it seem there is just no info on this case? I mean I understand they don't have much to go on but it just seems so quiet. Makes me think about all the different missing persons cases and why some are so prevalent in the media and public's eye and some aren't. Praying for Rob's safe return

Totally agree. Look at Michael Vanzandt. He disappeared from a night out with friends several weeks ago - not a trace. But somehow the Joey LaBute case is getting WAY more attention. Why?

LivingJuicy's post above had more info than the entire thread. It's not getting very much attention at all.

I don't know anon! I've spent some time over the past few days wondering just why some cases are so prevalent in the media and other's aren't. If it weren't for WS I'm sure I wouldn't know about 95% of these cases

Same here.!

I still wonder about why some missing person cases go wild with lots of MSM reporting while others get little to no notice. I've reached some conclusions...but could be way off base...these are my opinions only for what they're worth....

1) Most of the time the frequency of MSM releases seem to revolve around the level of sensationalism that may be associated with a missing person case. A missing person with sensational backstories seem to always get more MSM ink.
2) Age of MP - very young and very old missing people seems to get more MSM attention
3) Gender - though it doesn't always hold true, it does seem that missing women get more MSM attention in the media than missing men
4) LE releases - The frequency of LE pressers and release of information learned during an investigation seems to drive MSM attention
5) Family involvement - MSM pays more attention to families that are very vocal and willing to share information about the missing person (i.e. state of mind, history of past or current mental illness, issues with drugs and/or alcohol, past history of domestic abuse, going through a divorce, etc). Without some of this information, MSM really has very little to report. Reporting the same information about the missing person every day or every week won't sell subscriptions and MSM knows it. They are in the business of publishing what people read.

There have also been ground searches underway in the Lake Anna area which Havey frequented; with an aerial search planned for today. There has been no use of Havey’s cell phone or financial accounts since the day before he disappeared. Investigators have not been able to rule out foul play.http://wtvr.com/2016/03/30/rob-havey-iii-family-offers-reward/

I feel the family thinks he left on his own accord,searching around Lake Anna where he liked to go visit.I believe there is more to this and they are not saying.I wonder if he was depressed.It would be hard to hide a bright color truck like that.

 

[knowthings]

All we really know is that the phone was at that triangulated location, we don't know if the truck or Rob were there, I think the truck is hidden and why would he be in the woods was he alone or did someone take him there and do harm to him He did not use his cell phone or credit cards on day of disappearance, had he withdrawn cash to buy gas food etc. what was his demeanor on the day he disappeared, these are things that would be useful to know, I think too much focus has been put on the truck, he would be easily spotted driving around in that!!

Volunteers have been extending the search from Henrico to Louisa County and all the way to the North Carolina border.

A ground and aerial search was done at Lake Anna Wednesday where Rob kept his boat and often went out on the water. By Wednesday night, a second plane had gone out but this time over Lake Gaston near the North Carolina border, another place Rob spent time.

[astridxx]

So if a phone triangulates to a location - is it pinpointed or does that mean it was in the vicinity of? (So, was it pinpointed to like a specific road or was it in a 5 mile radius and could've been anywhere in that area?)

 

[LivingJuicy]

I keep thinking about Rob. Since he is seen on footage leaving work, I'm inclined to think that he left on his own accord to either harm himself (I hope not) or to get away. I don't think he was involved in an accident or I would think his truck would have been found. I don't know the Virginia area at all so I'd love to see a map that shows where he works versus where his phone was pinged. Since his phone pinged up until the 21st (if I remember correctly) it confirms IMO that he was not a victim of foul play or accident.

I really wish there was more information released. It could help in bringing him home.

One thing I noticed (anyone else agree or is it just me?) that in the pictures shared of Rob from last year versus now, he appears to have lost a good bit of weight. One thought that I had was could he be depressed?

 

[CuriousinNY]

I thought the same thing about the weight.

I'm not seeing that much of a difference. Maybe I'm missing seeing the photos you are talking about?

 

[knowthings]

Would he have left his child?

Maybe there was a drug issue here. Don't kick me people. Just wondering if that is why the family is being a bit more conservative on their information available to the public and that could cause weight loss as well.
