@agent smith Have airlines been contacted? His credit card company? His phone company?
yes, any half-way competent detective would have thought of these, but i’m suggesting them just in case.
I emailed the security office and got no response.
@man.... Man, I hope this kid is ok. Four days is a long time. Hope nothing serious happened.
@Stephen I hope he’s ok. The kid was graduating this year and has a lot of life to look forward to.
@sigh thats not funny.
@WPIX Last week on the WB, they were talking about some girl that jumped off of barnard hall, only to survive and wind up on a teen drama.
@Is it true I heard someone tried to jump off of the Mudd building last week.
@no that isn't all you foolhardy detectives. some people are not listed on lionlink. Also, if someone (his family or friends) posted a missing persons report, he is missing. For example, person who was library-hopping for four days, your parents probably know where you are (in school) ; your friends probably where yuo are (studying)…therefore, you, as a fanatic finals-studyer, are not a ‘missing person’. But Richard is. Let’s hope he’s okay.
@from the security guard... apparently a friend (or someone) heard him mention jumping off the brooklyn bridge.
@hmmm Well here’s the weird thing. He’s on Facebook but he’s not listed in the Columbia directory or LionLink. That’s slightly strange, no?
@well have they checked his cubmail, computer, websites, myspace, etc?
@ignorant person how do you pronounce his last name?
@hmm i think “ing”
@confused dungarees? why would anyone use “dungarees” instead of jeans?
@obviously he’s not on campus. they’ve been blitzing his photo all over the place. they’d have found him by now- no?
@well just because he’s not on campus doesn’t mean he’s “missing” – maybe he just decided to go to the hamptons for a week or something to be by himself.
@Stephen Professors may have noticed that he missed his finals?
@Question Is this guy really “missing”? Sometimes college students don’t tell anyone where they’re going. I know that I was missing from my room from saturday afternoon till last night, going from one library to another.
@concerned citizen the plug is particularly insensitive given the content of this post.
@speccie whoever keeps submitting shameless plugs (be you staff or otherwise), don’t. bwog did a fine job on this, and it looks petty to be posting our link here. people are smart enough to figure out where the spectator web site is.
@another speccie Fair point. Good job Bwog.
@actually this post says MORE than the spec article. Good job bwog.
@too bad the spec website doesn’t tell you any more than this post does
@hahaha nice plug, spec
