Why is the last paragraph repeated three times? Sloppy!
Also, if the dude wants to be left alone then his wishes should be honored.
Maybe foul play was involved. Obviously, there is a problem or his family wouldn’t be looking for him so urgently.
I have done volunteer work with Adam in the past, he is a very sweet guy, loves to talk with people. I only found out yesterday that he was missing, and I’m very concerned for him. I hope he turns up soon!!
Like you, Grover, I’ve done volunteer work with Adam in the past. He is very sweet and rather naive. I hope he’s okay.
I heard that he had been found! That is so good to know!
