North Carolina's Highway Patrol's Aviation Unit assisted in searching for Sky Porter today. link above.
I must have missed something but I didn't see why he is considered endangered. I will read through again before bed....hoping he is found safe by then.

Their Crimestoppers page has an interactive map of the area. Very woodsy area. I wonder if he is from there or is a visitor?

I did read about him using the aliases earlier. I wonder if that has anything to do with him going missing?

I have searched for FB pages using the aliases, and can't find anything. Maybe someone else can give it a try. I also think it's strange that the page I found is new and with so few friends. And, LisaWL7TR, I did find that post concerning. Also, random thoughts:
- I know the area fairly well. The words "On Beech Mountain" sound like he was last seen on the ski slopes or at least at the ski resort. I think that's why there's a mention of using helicopters to search. According to Beech Mountain's website, the last day of the season was to have been yesterday. It's been kinda warm, so I'm not 100% sure if they were actually still open on the 20th.

- This article says that he was last seen around 5pm Monday "on Beech Mountain," and police put out a notice on Thursday. I wonder who reported him missing... It's awful quiet.
