Sorry for asking, but does he have any exclusions for any John Does out there? It sounds like he left voluntarily due to stress, but why didn't he ever return nor contact his family again? I hope he's okay out there, but maybe something else happened. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be mention of his case in MSM.

ETA: One other important piece of information is needed -- did his note indicate which friend may have gone to, was the friend interviewed, anything of concern with that line of inquiry?
