A young man, aged 19, has gone missing from our community. He turned up missing when his folks
were out of town. He did not have a cellphone with him. He had no money to speak of. There has
been no word from him and his parents are sick with worry. Our local area is saturated with info but
so far it hasn't helped ..so I thought I would post something here in hopes that the DU community
might be able to help out. He is a tall good looking kid and was driving his father's older Jag.

Here is a link to the flyer his family has put out: It has his photo and phone numbers to contact:

The flyer has his photograph, a picture of the car he was in and also the license tag
and phone numbers for our local sheriff's department.

I am not 'tech' handy and did not know how to embed the flier on this Post.

A reward has been offered as well for information leading to Ethan. Thanks.

31. No problem. A quick primer

Put your pointer over the image you want to copy and paste.

Click the right hand button on your mouse or (laptop) pad

A menu will pop up. One of the options will be to "copy image location"

Move your pointer to that option and click the left hand button on your mouse or pad.

For DU, go to the message you are composing, put your pointer in the message text box and click the left hand button again. The menu pop up will have a "paste" option. Choose that.

The text that is pasted should have one of the following file types at the very end of the text: .jpeg or .gif or .png Those are the most common file types for images.

It takes practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy.

If you want to check that the image is there before you finalize the post, click the preview button at the bottom of the Message Text box.

Good luck

2. Maybe post this in the Indiana forum too?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1050

I know he has a car, but maybe he hasn't left the state yet.

[msatty99]

3. Good Idea:

He appeared to be headed south when last seen. I will post in the KY and Tennessee forums too.

[karmaqueen]

4. Will put it on my FB too

I am in NC But you never know..

[msatty99]

6. Thanks Karmaqueen

Ethan is the son of my brother's friend. They are in agony. It's 'not like' this young man to 'run away' and leave no word.

9. How odd. I watch those true crime shows, including "missing," about people who just disappear.

It's hard to fathom, but sometimes people just disappear.

These things must be very hard for a family to go through. But if the person isn't found, there is always hope, I suppose. I hope he turns up. Hard to say w/o knowing anything about the young man, such as drug history. Drugs can make people do odd things. I hope he's found.

10. K&R, and sharing elsewhere. n/t

17. "agony" must not even begin to describe what even a minute of this must be like for his parents

I am just heartsick for them.

[msatty99]

18. Me too Renate,

Wouldn't it be great if DU community could find him?

20. Sellersburg teen’s disappearance not considered criminal

September 17, 2012
Family worries after man, 19, disappears
Sellersburg teen’s disappearance not considered criminal

By MATT KOESTERS
[e-mail]

JEFFERSONVILLE — The disappearance of a 19-year-old man has his parents and friends worried, and local law enforcement is now looking for the teenager.

Tony Bennett’s son, 19-year-old Ethan Hunter Bennett, was last seen by a “minor” family member around 11:30 p.m. on the night of Tuesday, Sept. 11. Ethan Bennett is now being sought by the Clark County Sheriff’s Department to verify his well-being, and other local law-enforcement agencies are aware of the search.

“The reason why this case has kind of got our interest is he’s had no contact with friends or family, which even the friends and family said that’s just not normal,” Detective Lt. Randy Burton said at a press conference Monday. “He’s a pretty social individual. The individual left without his [cell] phone and has no means or taking care of himself ... money-wise.”

Burton said the search for Ethan Bennett is not currently considered a criminal matter...

There is a suggestion in the article that the young man may be depressed....

[WinkyDink]

21. He's 19 and driving a Jaguar? Sounds voluntary.

[aikoaiko]

26. I would imagine it was his parent's or a hand-me-down. It only costs $6-7K.

Either way, I hope the fella is ok.

22. Kicking for visibility...knr

[moriah]

23. I'll repost, and hope that he is found safe.

I volunteer for the Doe Network, and I'll also keep a lookout there for any posts about bodies found that might match his criteria and in the general area. I know that's not the ideal solution at all -- I want him home SAFE -- but if you've spoken to families in agony about not knowing for 20+ years where there children were.... actually finding out what happened, even if it's not good, gives some measure of closure. It gives them a place to go visit their children.

I hope he's found safe.

[msatty99]

24. thanks Moriah

I hope that this is not the outcome.

I appreciate the K and R's of you and other postes.

[obamanut2012]

25. Sometimes people (adults) just want to disappear, and do

And, it isn't illegal for them to do so.

It sounds like this is probably a case of that.

[hlthe2b]

27. That is true... I hope for all concerned he is just experiencing some teen angst & will return soon

That said, I surely wish he weren't in a Jaguar, which inevitably gets far too much unwanted attention.

I will be sending good thoughts for his quick and safe return.

[obamanut2012]

28. Me too

I wish he had at least left a note.

[MADem]

29. You might have a point. He was 19 and he had a "curfew" at home.

When I was a youngster there wasn't too much to do late at night, but I never had a "curfew" at that age; then again, I wasn't living at home, either!

[msatty99]

30. His folks were

out of town when he disappeared. There is no thought
that they were on 'bad' terms when this happened. He
also has other family and friends. Nobody has heard anything.

33. A good place for getting help for finding missing people

Websleuths.com: http://www.websleuths.com/forums/index.php

Not only do they have tons of information and knowledgeable people, they get a lot of visibility for cases, both recent and cold. There is an entire section "Families of the Missing-Resources, helps, tips" - http://www.websleuths.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=188

I'm just a member of that site, not affiliated with it in any way.

Good luck!

[msatty99]

35. Thanks ziggy,

I will look into that tonight.

[msatty99]

40. I linked that site to

the Facebook page that is organized around this search. His father is on there and
saw that.

Thanks.
