DH has gone missing

961 replies

Name changed for this as I don't want this attached to my usual name.

Long story short DH (and his friend) has gone missing and I have no idea what to do!

He went out to friends on Sunday evening around 6. He called at 9ish said he was staying out but would be home approx 10am Monday morning.
All fine as he didn't have work etc etc.
I had a message from his friend st around 2pm Monday saying that DHs phone has died and that DH is really sorry he is late but he'll be home by tea time.
Since then no one has seen or heard from DH or his friend.
I've checked the police custody suite, hospitals, as many friends that I can think of and been round to friends house but obviously no one was there.
I'm worried sick, I can't sleep, can't eat and my anxiety is only letting me think the worst has happened.

I know this is about ranty, sorry for that! I just needed to talk about how scared I am. Can anyone think of a logical explanation to where they could have got to? I need abit of hope that he's okay! Sad

Has he form for disappearing?

hippiedays · 16/06/2016 11:48

I just remembered someone married to someone I vaguely know disappeared for a week. He took his passport and went on a retreat without telling his wife, children or family. It was in the throes of a mental breakdown at the time though that only came to light when he came home.

Goingtobeawesome · 16/06/2016 11:51

Why isn't anyone breaking in to the friend's house? I'm assuming there an obvious reason I'm missing.

EvansAndThePrince · 16/06/2016 12:12

Oh I was really hoping he would turn up at work Sad at least then you'd know he was safe. I think the police may (hopefully) step up their game a bit now that they know he's not just avoiding the wife. I really hope there's some good news soon.

MadisonAvenue · 16/06/2016 12:14

What a nightmare for you, OP. Really hope he turns up safely very soon.

HermioneJeanGranger · 16/06/2016 12:19

The police have been to the friends house and there was no-one there.

I hope he's okay.

Goingtobeawesome · 16/06/2016 12:21

Hermione, I know they've been to the house but it hasn't been confirmed they've checked inside.

WannaBe · 16/06/2016 12:27

To be fair, the police may not have confirmed everything they've done to the OP. Remember that it's the OP's DH who is missing. His friend might not actually be missing he might not even have been with the OP's DH, he might simply have agreed to be his alibi and text the OP at a pre-agreed time to let her know That her DH would be home by teatime.

Just because the friend isn't at home doesn't mean he too is missing. He may be at work, on holiday, out with other friends, anywhere. Until the police manage to establish that the friend too is missing they will only be treating the DH as a missing person.

AuntieMaggie · 16/06/2016 12:35

Hope he is found soon - you must be going out if your mind Do you have rl support?

confusedandemployed · 16/06/2016 12:37

I hope your dh is found soon and that there is a reasonable explanation for this.

MotherOfDragons27 · 16/06/2016 12:41

Can't imagine what you're going through OP. Really hope he turns up xx

passmethewineplease · 16/06/2016 12:49

Hope he turns up soon.

You must be worried sick OP. Please ignore the comments referring to his sexual orientation.. Hmm

Glad the police are being supportive! Can't they knock friends door down or something?

Esspee · 16/06/2016 12:50

Everyone who has read this thread is thinking of you. Big hugs.

CinderellaFant · 16/06/2016 12:55

Hope he turns up

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 16/06/2016 12:56

OP, I feel so sorry for you. Are you in the UK by the way? (Sorry if this has already been covered.)
If so, have you contacted Missing People UK? I understand they can be very helpful.
www.missingpeople.org.uk/
Have you spoken to your parents and/or PILs?

loobyloo1234 · 16/06/2016 13:05

OP has he been on whatsapp or anything? I.e. something that would indicate the last time he was online on something?

And the passport - does he have it? Can you check?

BuntyBlue · 16/06/2016 13:07

How awful for you; I hope the police are able to give you more information soon, someone must know where they are.

Best wishes op.

Goingtobeawesome · 16/06/2016 13:10

I would hope that the police would have checked with the friends work by now!

Mikkalina · 16/06/2016 13:12

Could it be that he is gone abroad? France?

Counterpane · 16/06/2016 13:13

OP said the friend doesn't work.

ScarletOverkill · 16/06/2016 13:14

I hope you hear something soon OP

WeekendAway · 16/06/2016 13:16

Have you been in contact with any relatives of his friend to ascertain that he is definitely missing also?

Would they have been likely to be driving anywhere remote with anyone?

HeadWrecked26 · 16/06/2016 13:16

Thank you all for the well wishes, i appreciate every one.
Just to answer some questions people have asked,
Passport is still here,
We are in the UK (thank you for the link, I'm going to have a look through it now)
DH hasn't been online in any way that I can see. Have checked social media accounts and what's app etc.

The police have been to the house and all they would tell me is that they were certain DH is not there.

Im Hoping that he's just been daft and either is struggling to get home due to no money or he's too chicken to come home now this has become pretty serious. I'm trying to stay positive now.
Thank you all again!
