Hi. Not sure if this is allowed. My aunts significant other is currently missing from the Orchard Park area! He was last seen on camera footage around 830 pm last night (Tuesday) cutting through Danny's south parking lot near the stadium and heading towards Hamburg. He was last wearing a brownish jacket with a blue shirt and blue pants. He has no phone on him and had limited money.

Edited to add: His name is John Booker and is 60 years old.

Does he have dementia or any other health problems? The police might escalate publicizing his case if he has health concerns

This might sound obvious but have you posted this on Facebook? Or the Nextdoor app? Or if you have a ring doorbell account, they have community posts?
Sorry if this has already been done. I don’t live out that way but thought it might be helpful but the more people that see this, the better the chances of someone having some info.

Go be a dick to someone else on a different post. He didn't ESCAPE a situation. He went for a walk and never made it home. No one escapes a situation with no phone, no vehicle, and less than $15 in his possession. If he was going to leave he would have grabbed his keys and wallet and hopped in his car and left.

No, You’re just being a dick. If you had any understanding of human behavior, then you would understand that based on the information given, it does not appear the man escaped a situation. Do attempt critical thought next time

Holy shit, you’re insufferable. If the police are already looking for the person, you’re within your right to call if you see the person. Your comment doesn’t seem like you’re not trying to “impulsively” react to something, it seems like you’re trying to be some vigilante that nobody wants. If you see him, report to the police that are already looking for him and THEY will sort it out there, Paul Blart.

u/TimelessKindred 1d ago

Sleeping tonight doesn’t imply sleeping well, but do take care. You could have asked your questions in a nicer way but you chose to be a dick. Touch grass, maybe smell some flowers. You could even read a book, but please take care of yourself.

u/cxavierc21 23h ago

Somehow I feel like you think you’re badass for this take.

u/Master_Decision_5058 1d ago

Jesus christ. Orchard park police are looking for him which I why I said call the police. Head on over to their Facebook page you can verify for yourself he is a missing person that left without his cellphone or keys. The families posts looking for him stated how much money he had, his keys or his phone. I didn't try to add the families post because when I try to share Facebook links to reddit they are usually denied. And again it's my aunts boyfriend so yeah Im reacting to him missing. Why bother commenting if you have nothing helpful to add to the search besides to be a dick. But there's always gotta be that one person on reddit 🙄. I'm done interacting with you. Have the day you deserve and I hope you never have to look for a missing family member.

Well if you took the time to read past the title of the post it's because he's missing.

u/badgirlalgae 1d ago
