DH has gone missing

961 replies

HeadWrecked26 · 16/06/2016 00:47

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

So your husband and friend have been missing for over 48 hours.

Your husband has no financial funds to do anything

After 24 hours police would show concern after 48 hours an official missing persons case would be started

HeadWrecked26 · 16/06/2016 01:27

Right I'll get the missing persons report done. I was kind of hoping you would tell me that he's a grown man and of course he's fine and I was over reacting being so worried.
Thank you all for your replys.
I'm hoping for that too. I'm really hoping he'll be home by morning with his tail between his legs

Sorry but after the he's not been missing that long and there's not much more we can do than you've already done speech I honestly thought I was over reacting asking about filing a report.
I've never been in a situation like this before.

All ok OP? Did he turn up?

MyCatWasRightAboutYou · 16/06/2016 01:30

Flowers I hope they turn up soon and they're safe.

Lunar1 · 16/06/2016 01:33

I hope they are found quickly and the police have taken you seriously.

leghoul · 16/06/2016 01:33

when something really worrying could be happening it's only natural to actually minimise to an extent and hope that it will suddenly be nothing, or suddenly be fine. Taking the action means acknowledging something is wrong and making it real. I hope he comes home very soon. I'd put my money on a daft trip to Europe or something, but not without passport I suppose - do report him missing and hope it is resolved imminently

Pohara1 · 16/06/2016 01:33

I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling right now. I hope he comes home soon, and although I can't offer any more advice than what's been said or offer any practical support, you have my thoughts.

leghoul · 16/06/2016 01:35

*I hope it is resolved imminently I mean, for the best. and no not overreacting

Redisthenewblack · 16/06/2016 01:36

Glad you're calling the police. (I'm not glad that you're in a position where you've had to, but you know what I mean!)
Once that's done please try to get some rest. I know that's easier said than done, but all the correct channels will then be involved.
Vent/rant here as much as you like.
Hope it turns out that he's just been an inconsiderate prick and he's on a -- stupid!bender

Whisky2014 · 16/06/2016 01:41

You could go on to both their FB pages and write somethjng like "if you have seen dh name or friend name recently please get in touch asap" or something?

TinklyLittleLaugh · 16/06/2016 01:50

I really think you need to get into the friend's house. Sorry.

Cagliostro · 16/06/2016 01:55

Hopefully it's nothing Thanks thinking of you.

KittensandKnitting · 16/06/2016 02:02

He has being missing since Sunday

Ginkypig · 16/06/2016 02:03

Sorry if Iv got this wrong but has he been missing since Sunday and no contact since 2pm Monday from the friend but not from him?

Yes definitely contact the police, even if he is fine you don't know that and the police can find out and have access to avenues you don't.

I really hope he is ok you must be very worried if this is unusual for him.

If this had been my dp id have already reported it so don't feel like you're wasting anyone's time.

MyCatWasRightAboutYou · 16/06/2016 02:06

I think I would try getting into the friend's house, too.

GarlicSteak · 16/06/2016 02:09

Me too, Cat & Tinkly.

This is the fourth night.

HeartsofOak · 16/06/2016 02:11

No, definitely not for OP to try and get into the friend's house, she should leave that to the police.

Do report now though OP, it's time they started the ball rolling.

Try not to worry, most missing persons turn up just fine. Flowers

VioletBam · 16/06/2016 02:39

Have you gone to the friend's house? Contacted his family? Do that and yes, make SURE the police are actively searching now...he's missing.

LadyStarkOfWinterfell · 16/06/2016 02:41

Whoah he's been missing for over 48 hours, the police need to be taking action. They may need to force entry into the friend's house. How unbelievably terrifying for you - I hope there is an innocent explanation or rather he's just been a thoughtless, selfish arse in some way. Was he due back to work?

LilySnape · 16/06/2016 02:45

is his friend male or female op you'd didnt specify, he'll have just gone off to watch football

LadyStarkOfWinterfell · 16/06/2016 02:48

Watching football for 2 days with no wallet or phone?

beenaroundawhile · 16/06/2016 02:53

When you say it's possible he could be on a huge bender, is he a drinker or is there any possibility he or his friend could be involved with any kind of drugs? If there is, the police really need to be gaining access to his friends' house as there are more worrying scenarios. Has he been at work this week? If not, and absence at work is also out of character, you need to be doing everything you possibly can and make sure you have full olive commitment to helping you find him. Good luck, I can't imagine how hard it is for you

beenaroundawhile · 16/06/2016 02:54

Police not olive

steff13 · 16/06/2016 02:57

Did neither he nor the friend have to work at all this week? OP said he didn't have work on Monday, but it's Wednesday now (Thursday there, I guess).
