Rooting for you Kirk.

Maybe he took out the $2000 to take a little vacation on his motorcycle? But it doesn't look good that he left his phone behind. I hope the money wasn't taken out under duress. It's been 3 weeks today. Well past time for most vacations to end. MOO.

Kirk has been removed from Never Forgotten.
I noticed the posts his family had been sharing on social media regarding his disappearance have been removed as well with no public update.
