OK. I am now very worried.

SINSULL - I still have a few relatives on the NYPD and I'm not afraid to call them. One Cousin is a Detective in brooklyn (no big help, but he can pehaps explain what buzzwords need to be spoken.)

From memory, I'd suggest that a NYC resident who has not seen him in at least 48 hours, go to the Precint that governs the missing guy's area and demand to file a missing person's report. Technically, the person filing has to be the one who hasn't seen or heard from the person and who has reason to suspect something is not right. This person can state that although the fellow had plans to board a bus - no evidence exists to suggest he ever made it out of NYC. If evidence does exist he got on the bus - then it's not NYPD's problem anymore and you have to then contact BCI Office with the State Troopers.

Sinsull - if you want.. I can have my Dad call you - he's a former NYS Trooper and has pals on other State Police Forces where any bus from NYC to your house would have to go through. Maybe he can help.

It would help if you knew somebody who knew your friends Social Security Number since that could help detectives track his bank records and see if anybody has made any ATM withdrawals on his account.

Also, if this fellow has ANY health concerns that might possibly cause him to fall ill in his APT.. say so. It takes very little to get a Landlord or super to let somebody in, but before it can be done, a Missing Persons Report must be filed.

Also.. My Dad is a HAM radio operator and if he has the dude's address, he can send out a Helath & Wlefare Check to NYC HAM oprators and somebody will go and knock on his doorand ring his Phone. ANY HAM Operator can do this for you.

Please advise
