De Anza student and Iraq War veteran missing
Joseph Weber, a 28-year-old De Anza College student and Iraq War veteran, was reported missing by his family on Nov. 26 and has been missing for over 12 days. Weber left his home in Sunnyvale on Nov. 24 and the California Highway Patrol found his car in the Golden Gate Bridge employee parking lot on Nov. 27, according to a KTVU report. He served two tours in Baghdad as a military police officer and his family told KTVU that he hadn’t been the same since returning home. “He was never really able to forgive himself, I think,” Weber’s sister Linnea told KTVU. “He suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and it affected almost every aspect of his life after that.” Robert Ovetz, Weber’s political science teacher at De Anza this quarter, said Weber was a “very engaged, passionate student.” Ovetz said Weber was interested in understanding the government and the role he played in Iraq.

Wait, he was last seen on the GG bridge and they have no signs that he walked off? This really doesn't sound good. And I've never heard of this case and I live in the south bay... how sad :(

Well, maybe/maybe not. There seems to be conflicting information on if there is or isn't signs that he walked off the bridge. From the google site linked off the FB group page:
On Monday 11/24/2014 he left home. A person of his description was seen leaving his car at the north side of Golden Gate Bridge, and then walking onto the bridge at about 3PM that day AND HIM OR A PERSON MATCHING HIS DESCRIPTION WAS SEEN ON VIDEO EXITING THE BRIDGE. His phone was last on at approximately 8PM that evening, location not known. And that was the last information we have about him.

This seems like a very sad case - for the family who are obviously worried sick and wondering where Joseph may be, and for Joseph who until he disappeared, seemed to face many uphill challenges and disappointments to try and better himself and the world.

I hope someone comes forward with some news or an insight as to what might have happened and why Joseph Weber is missing.
 
Just found this photo -

Missing Vetrans Home Page:

This is a picture of Joseph with his shirt off - these are very distinctive tattoos - I haven't seen a thread which describes the actual wording -
I will look on the web to see if there is any information somewhere else ...
But does anyone have any idea of what this says? Maybe we can piece this together?

He also has tattoos on the underneath of both arm biceps - and possibly on his hands? (cant tell if they are shadows or not on the hands...)

There is also another photo of Joseph here sitting at a table.

What I find distinctive above this photo below and the photo in the above post is the necklaces that Joseph is wearing.
It looks like a bone carving which has a silver/metal tip finding for the chain to go through (an animal or bird head) - there is a carved man in the centre of the carving.
I have zoomed in and screencapped the necklace to try and see it better...

It reminds me of the Maori bone Hooks - or possibly a piece designed overseas - but I wonder if it is something which has some significance to it for Joseph - and maybe it was a gift or something he purchased as a token of safety or luck.

I wonder if he was wearing this when he disappeared?
 
Tattoo across top of chest ... what do you think?

____________ any _____________ nessassary
 
I wondering if anyone thinks that the bottom line of text in the tattoo on Josephs abdomen is another language like latin - I even thought it was Sindarin or Tengwar (Elvish) when I first saw it, but I think it is the Gothic font and the closeness of the lettering...

Any thoughts?
 
?

Malcolm X?

thanks for that mrsobrien :)
I had a look at Malcom X Quotes on wiki...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/By_any_means_necessary


I think it is certainly the word 'By' - but Im not sure about the word which is obscured by the necklace - its hard to make out that first letter - its open at the top like a V, WW, U... so I was thinking it might not be the letter 'm' ....
I will have a look at more quotes to see if anything matches - but Im a bit pressed for time tonight so I will have to look tomorrow :(

I also note that nessassary is spelt incorrectly in the tattoo.
 
mrsobrien - you were right! :loveyou:

I was on Find Joseph Weber Facebook page and went to photos -

the above photo with the tattoo was on there are there are replies as to what the tattoo's say -


The top tattoo says:
by any means necessary (spelt nessassary)

Second tattoo lower abdomen:
(Latin) “Perfer et obdura, dolor hic tibi proderit olim." (Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you.)” - Ovid
 
I am so saddened by Joseph's missing. I am not political, however my husband is and even though I do not have enough info to weight into the undocumented people conversation when we talk, I do have an opinion "kind of" about the issue. How can we support outsiders when we cannot support insiders. Our soldiers deserve top notch care and every expense needs to be taken for them. (Don't get me started about the children sent here who are in our custody that have been abused...I called that from the beginning!)

PEOPLE WHO CAN CHANGE THINGS: If we cannot help and support our soldiers in EVERY way they need, we are pathetic USERS. Please funnel money and expertise into those who shed blood FOR ALL OF US so we can live safely in this world.
 
@perfectinpink - I was amazed at the amount of missing veterans - and more amazed to find that a lot of them are not in NAMUS -
Its very sad for all concerned.

I agree. It is pathetic how we throw them away after we use them. Why isn't our country outraged?
