Do you have the woman’s name who has his phone?




I don't. I tried calling her and she didn't answer. She is only responding to my mother as of now.

She BOUGHT the phone from someone, likely from FB marketplace or nextdoor or something.

If you bought a phone off marketplace should you be held responsible if the person you bought the phone from acquired it from a runaway? Now the person that sold the phone, yeah obviously they know a ton here. But the current holder of the phone likely knows as much as you or I do. Which is to say nothing.

bullshite. That is not how phone sales work—the legit seller would wipe the phone and you’d ensure whether it is locked to a carrier or not.

Whoever bought it knows it wasn’t a legitimate sale

I've instructed my mother to contact the authorities in New Orleans to see if they can locate this woman and get access to the phone.


Unfortunately, the NOPD is no help here. Their GAF meter doesn’t budge.

You’re much better off contacting the Louisiana State Police.

At the very least, she has a lead on who originally possessed the phone. She has a description and contact information of some capacity.

Likely bought from someone with burner account and/or burner phone, but she knows more than the OP does at the moment.

Yeah the phone being sold to a 3rd party increases the likelihood this is drug-related and not violence-related.

If that phone was taken by force, they'd have wiped it and sold it at one of those kiosks in a Walmart.

What town in Mississippi is he from, OP?


He lives in Canton, but it's off the Gluckstadt exit on 55 North close to Madison.

Last request like this resulted in the brother being found all the way on skid row via a YouTube interview with drug addicts. Good luck

If she is using his phone and the old number works, this seems like it might work. Does he have an iPad or something you can try to access?

Is the dog micro chipped? Hopefully it ends up at a shelter and you might get lucky and get more info on his whereabouts that way.

I don't know.

I live in a completely different part of the country.

The lady with the phone needs to be brought in for questioning by NOPD detectives. A warrant for the phone needs to be a priority.

People on here trolling are scum of the earth. The family pain of losing a family member to drugs/addiction is irreparable.

Everyone suffers. Praying for you and your family to find him. Maybe one day he will get back on his feet. The public rehabilitation centers are garbage in this country.

NOPD isn't going to look for a missing person under the overpass.

Especially if the person isn't harming anyone or themselves and left on their own regard.

Apparently the woman with the phone is willing to FedEx it back to my mother but she wants to be paid for what she bought it for.

You could go to New Orleans and offer to meet to get the phone.

Risky, but you would at least have an idea what area he is in then.
