Oh no, another missing young man, I hope it was not academic pressure getting to him or a breakup. I hope he will be found safe, at a friend's.

Do we know the circumstances around him leaving out on Sunday? Reason? His mood/behavior?

“We have utilized canine assets, we’re now utilizing snowmobiles and drones in the area surrounding his residence," says [Police spokeswoman Jennifer] Fleishman. "So we have multiple assets that we’re utilizing to try to locate John.”

Because it’s an ongoing investigation, Fleishman wouldn’t comment on whether foul play is suspected in John Sexton disappearance.

It seems John was missing for two day before anyone became concerned. Has John done this before and maybe parents thought he was hanging out with friends but when he didn't show up to school then they became concerned. No mention if John had cell phone and if so did he have it with him when he left home.

Could he have been heading out to do some hunting or check on a tree stand and had an accident?

It's been bitterly cold in the northern part of the state, and they've had a lot of snow so far this year -- my niece is competing in State cross-country finals tomorrow in Plattsburgh (30 miles east of Chateaugay), and they had to change the course because of the amount of snow (plus it's supposed to be a balmy 19*, brrr!)

Yes, could be...is it known if he took something with him to hunt with? Hunting is totally out of my league..but I suppose you take a gun or something like that? There are big body's of water....is it frozen?

I'm not a hunter, either, but I believe that bow season is open in NYS right now and regular gun season opens tomorrow. The camouflage coveralls made me think of the garb my friends' husbands wear when they are hunting, so wondered if that was what this young man was doing.

Lakes/ponds are not frozen over yet, just a thin covering of ice in the mornings.

The coveralls could be some kind of hint...thanks....didn't think of that.

I would like to know if he, besides wearing a coverall, has personal items with him, took other clothes etc. when he left? Is there anything missing at his residence? What was his state of mind? Did he talk to his parents, friends before he went. Did he spoke about plans in live, things he wanted to achieve, places he wanted to see ....There is very little info to go on.

Article posted above said he headed out to do barn chores.

So no one noticed he didn't come back in the house, or maybe they thought he did?

Well, he is 18 years old, so he could just leave voluntarily.

Still, it would be nice if he contacted a loved one or friend and let them know he's ok.

I'm not sure what to make of it. So he went to do some tasks in the barn, a barn? What article is stating that...couldn't find it...oh...I understand now...I couldn't read some of the articles posted due to privacy laws.......

Why do the police think John has left the area. I assume police have interviewed the parents, family, friends and teachers to get some insight into John's state of mind in recent weeks. Maybe they found evidence that suggests that John was planning to leave home such as missing clothes and or cash or social media searches. I have not seen any public statements from John's parents or family but maybe they want to keep this a private matter.
