That recording sounds exactly like the recording that is played on big speakers every day at 8 AM on US bases - they play the Star Spangled Banner. On my base, that is always followed by the Japanese National Anthem. The video cut off before that. My guess is she recorded it at 8 am.
That's so interesting! Thank you; I would have never even imagined that's why the anthem was playing. I didn't know that was a thing! Thanks for all your information.
Oh my gosh, I would go bonkers if my spouse was missing under suspicious circumstances and I had to stay inside my apartment for 14 days.
Yes, it is pretty intense. I teach on base. When a student pops positive, the entire family AND the entire family of any of that child’s close contacts has to quarantine for 14 days. This means that at any time we have had up to 90 or so students in ROM with families. And that means we have any number of service members in quarantine, even though they are negative. AND Japan is NOT playing with who they allow in the country and how they get to base. If someone picks them up at the airport, that person has to ROM. The only option is to take a base bus from the airport directly to your quarters, with no contact with anyone other than those on the bus. And ... not to make it about me, but those of us on our base haven’t been allowed to leave our general area in almost a year now. Travel is VERY restricted. We can travel on our peninsula and within some of our prefecture (to Mt. Fuji, for example), but that is about it. People on Trevor’s base have not been that restricted. The big news for them this weekend is that they are once again allowed to go to Disneyland and plenty of folks on base are very jealous, lol.
Restriction of Movement
We have been following. One of the strangest components of this case is the reset mobile phone. How is this not a priority for OSI to investigate and petition to have those records at once? Assuming they have not updated BB on the status of this investigation... Can anyone make sense as to why the Find Trevor Balint FB page there is an appeal for anyone who speaks Japanese to assist translating buttons (and the like) for the Balint mobile service webpage? Wouldn’t OSI being doing this? Why would OSI allow outsiders to participate in investigative matters? (Wondering how long this appeal with remain on the FTB FB page—- doesn’t make sense and I have noticed some posts have been removed.)Family concerned for Hubbard man missing from US military base in Japan | WKBN.com
A Hubbard man has gone missing from a U.S. military base in Japan, and his family is concerned that foul play may be involved.
- Trevor Balint, 34, teaches high school students at the Yokota Air Base.
- His wife BB is a defense department analyst on the base.
- According to BB’s mother, DM, Trevor was last seen Monday morning.
- DM says BB received a call from a woman saying she found Trevor’s wallet.
- “And she went and met the lady. The lady told her where she found it. Then, she went over and looked where the lady found it and found his cell phone, his keys, his mask, his shoes and his sweatshirt all on a porch of a garden apartment,” said DM.
- She says it’s out of character for Trevor to disappear.
- He and Britni had been in Japan for about a year.
- DM is working to get clearance to travel to Japan to be with her daughter and help with the search.
I wish I had an answer for you but I don't understand it either. Under the circumstances, I have to believe that his phone contains key information. MOO
I'm grossly overqualified for the job I currently have, the pay is not great either. It's really easy to fall into a spiral of discouragement, so I totally get it. I think this is either a case of self-harm or he ran away. But where to? And why?
If she never checked his room before she left for work it doesn't reveal anything more reliable about when he went missing.
