I see nothing that mentions his father, confusion or anger in that link. Is that the correct link?

 

[LayzeeDayzee]

why isn't this getting more attention? here, there, everywhere? I know the obvious reason but aside from that, why isn't this bigger? Does the family need help getting the word out? I see they are active, but maybe they need more help?

The fact that he called in sick... maybe that needs to be explored. Could it have been someone else calling in purporting to be him? Did he say how he was sick? (i.e., flu, sore back, upset stomach?) Some of the articles use the language"..he reported to be sick" (emphasis on the word reported, leaving room for this not to be true IMO) I imagine that's so because no one can verify that he sick at this point. ETA; Ugh, the BET article linked by JG at post 18 says he was at work and told his bosses he was sick and went home. But this one http://www.atlantaloop.com/atlanta-police-search-for-missing-cdc-employee/ says that he called in sick at 7am. Hmmm...

And leaving his dog, who he seems very bonded with...

I have to believe that either LE knows a lot more, or perhaps his loved ones are holding something back. Was he struggling at all, honestly? With anything or anyone? He just got promoted to head of the US Health Corps. Is this work related?

It's been 10 days.

It's stated in the various articles posted here that TC "left work sick", not that he called-in sick.

I'm guessing suicide.

I just hate it when someone vanishes without their ID, cell phone, car etc... I live in SC and usually missing people in GA are reported but I haven't seen anything. I wonder if any of the neighbors have security cameras outside of their house. I noticed on the show First 48 that Atlanta detectives have solved quite a bit of murders that way.

They don't think it's him:

Police did disclose that they do not believe the man is missing CDC worker Timothy Cunningham, who disappeared in Atlanta on February 12 and whose family publicly pleaded for leads in his safe return.

It might have been updated after you posted. I went "OMG, that could be him!" when I read the first couple lines, then I read the whole thing.

I hope Tim turns up soon!

 

[Tjk2201]

I hope police can confirm 100% that it isn't him soon.

updated photo:

Timothy is an accomplished man who graduated from Morehouse and earned a master’s degree and doctorate from Harvard University. As an epidemic intelligence officer, Cunningham has been deployed for public health emergencies, including superstorm Sandy, Ebola and Zika.

It’s unusual for him not to contact family, his father said. "This is not normal, this is definitely out of the ordinary."

Cunningham was last seen by coworkers while leaving his workplace, the Centers for Disease Control, in Chamblee, Georgia. The family said he called out sick from work and hasn't been heard from since that day. They said it is unusual for him not to contact them. Family members believe he could be in his work uniform but they aren't sure. He is described as about 5 feet 11 inches tall and 230 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

It was 62 degrees in Chamblee Georgia the day Timothy disappeared so the lakes, etc. aren't frozen.
Looks like he walked to his destination.
Has the closest body of water to his home been searched?

Or slow poisoning of some sort?
imo, speculation.

Where is he? This case gives me no vibes one way or the other. I would lean a bit towards foul though for the sole reason that he left his dog alone. No dog lover would ever do that.

If he was very sick with influenza and developed pneumonia, a low oxygen level could have caused him to go missing without his phone, ID, keys, car. Brain does not work right once oxygen levels dip low enough. So sad. I pray he is ok, seems he has a lot to offer this world.
