Trying to get my brain around leaving keys and phone behind, then setting off on foot to "take a break," for 4 or 5 miles along a highway.

Nope.
Can't do it.

The whole thing is fishy. Guy's missing, has a kid with a girl from 2015, but then she got married in 2022, but she was still dating missing guy? And now there's a GoFundMe to find him? Weird.

Yikes...

This talk could all be squashed with some legitimate sources linked, such as a local news bulletin or something at all with contacting the police.

I try to assume no one would be that inherently evil to scam good people out of money, and there would be some legitimate costs incurred in truly searching for someone - such as paying a private dog tracking service or private investigator. OP possibly being jobless could easily be completely unrelated, for all we know he is financially stable but doesn't have the extra means to drop thousands on searching for a friend.

I hope this turns out to be a legitimate call for help with a happy ending

The posts about him missing have been shared at least 7K times on FB. Doesn’t sound promising with the details provided here

For what? You have zero evidence they did anything or that a crime was even committed.

I think GoFundMe has a built-in delay between when the collection ends and when the funds are dispersed. Having only been active for a short time - $$ is probably still in that holding period and can easily be reversed back to the individuals who contributed.

He said it would be used for drones, billboards, etc. They way he did it was a bit off though.

Gotcha. I assume he's legit but he should probably post what the funds will be used for now (mental healthcare, rehab, whatever the needs are). Give donors the option to withdraw their $ by certain date and then give whatever's left to Mr. Shaw.
