Disappearing Escort

[ad rian]

A regular escort of mine left NYC for LA for a temporary job 3 weeks ago. We spoke on the phone last week, and agreed that I would call last weekend, and we would hook up this week. His phone appears to be disconnected, and I have not heard from him. This is very unlike him since he always promptly returned my calls, and often initiated his own. Should I be worried about him? Or do you think he left the business or just lost his phone?

Sounds to me like he's dead. From the length of time involved and the city of destination, I'd say he was chopped up in a bathtub after being shot in the back of the head. By now, the body's probably pretty much decomposed from the acid that was poured over the body parts afterwards. On the bright side, he can still bone ya, just not in the same way. I trust this will put to rest, oops, any fears you may have.

 

Later.

Three weeks is a long time. I too would be concerned, especially since he's a regular escort and you planned on keeping in touch. Do you know anyone who might be a friend of his? Perhaps someone might have heard from him. Also, check out his old address, maybe a neighbor could help out...I hope everything is ok, let us know.

Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately, he always came here. I know his real first name, and the building where he lives. I also know 2 other escorts who know him socially too. So if I don't hear by early next week, I might call them, but I don't think was in regular cintact with them. The weird part is the disconnected phone line. If it were a matter of money, I think he could have "worked" his way out of that problem in LA with little difficulty. I hope all is well.

So, Traveller, what DO you do for a living? kindergarten teacher? warm-fuzzies designer? grief therapist? I'm dying to know.

Is he in his 20's? A body is found washed ashore off Malibu today.

Dick,

 

You probably shouldn't have said "dying".

Don't wait. If you're worried, act NOW. If it turns out he's okay what's the worst thing that would happen? That he'd find out you cared! But if he's not...well, a trail may be getting cold. ACT NOW!

 

>>>The weird part is the disconnected phone line. If it were a matter of money, I think he could have "worked" his way out of that problem...

 

Call the phone company and tell them of your concern. They *might* be able to tell you whether the service was discontinued at the client's request or not.

 

Also, find out if those friends of his know where the parents are. You need to contact them and find out if they have heard from him. You don't have to devulge anything more than you're a friend who is concerned. They may have another angle that you aren't aware of to learn of his whereabouts. Again, there's no downside to being a concerned friend.

 

Don't wait. ACT NOW!

I don't usually have anything to add in situations like these, but this time I think I want to second those who urge you to do what you can to find him. If you know that he was going to L.A. for a temporary job, you must know what he does apart from escorting. That's a start. You know what to do, I'm sure, better than I. I just wanted to endorse your concern and to say that if I were in your shoes, I'd be worried, too. He's not in the world's safest profession, frankly.

Dude,

 

Knowing what a big, open-hearted liberal guy I am, I volunteer for an abortion clinic on weekends. We fill a discreet niche in that we only take women who are 6 months or more pregnant. After they come in, we take them into a sterile room, have them stand in the center, pick up a two-by-four and then swing for the bleachers as hard as we can. Works like a charm every time. As a bonus, I was a real star on the firm's softball team last summer.

This is an update. I called the two escorts who I know that also know him. One did not have further contact details. The other is now calling a mutual friend who lives in the same building in NYC, and who knows his room mate here. Hopefully, this is nothing serious, but it is very much out of character. I'll let you know what we find out. Thanks for the encouragement. I did not want to seem like I was stalking him, but both escorts I called told me that I was doing the right thing by following up.

While I can't think of anything here that hasn't been suggested, I find the "telephone service contact" a good place to find out why the tel was disconnected. Perhaps they have a New tel no. for this guy or someone there can tell you how or why phone was disconnected. There is always the police but since you don't know any last name and may not want to explain your connection to this guy or this guy's occupation, that could be a sensitive issue. A PI is also a possibility but don't know how expensive that is. Good luck and keep us posted as to what you find out.

Ok, thanks for all the help. He just called, and is back in NYC. He changed phones and phone numbers (for some reason) so he did not have my number. At any rate, he is ok, so now I feel stupid for worrying!

Don't feel stupid for worrying about your friend. I had a similar situation where a friend's cellphone was stolen and it had to be disconnected and a new number and phone issued. I couldn't reach my friend for several days and was very worried, since the only phone he had was a cell phone. Then he called me to tell me what had happened, and I was greatly relieved. I'm glad your friend is ok.:-)

Concern and worry shows your compassionate side. Glad things turned out OK for you. You did the right thing by expressing your concern. Were I to ever disappear, one could only hope someone would go looking for me.
