DH has gone missing

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

This happened to my friend...he was asleep on a train platform having missed the last train home...hope things are ok now x

I know that you are trying to emphasise petal, but no, this did not happen to your friend.

firesidechat · 16/06/2016 08:28

The op's reaction to all of this is seriously odd.

WannaBe · 16/06/2016 08:29

So let's get this straight. The OP's DH went out on Sunday afternoon for a couple of hours but didn't return that night, and she thought nothing of it. Then the next day at 2 Pm she gets a message from his friend saying that his phone was dead and he'd be home by teatime. Instead of ringing the friend to ask to speak to her DH she waited around for another three days, at which point she started a thread on MN in the dead of night.

Ok.

He was asleep on a train platform for four days?

ReggaeShark · 16/06/2016 08:30

Well, quite.

I (and many others) reported this thread (i accept this post may get deleted now) and MNHQ have responded to say they believe the OP to be genuine.

MeMySonAndl · 16/06/2016 08:36

Hmm... Wasn't she told not to report until 48hrs?

Hope your DH has turned up op.
Apologies op, I hate scaremongering but has anyone checked out the friends place Carbon monoxide poisoning possibility ?

firesidechat · 16/06/2016 08:38

What blue seriously? I reported too.

I despair sometimes.

How strange. I'd have reported ages ago.

Have you met the friend before Op?

I really don't understand why troll hunters stay in the thread even when MN headquarters have said they believe the person to be genuine.

If you are really so concerned is a troll, just leave the thread

LazyMilk · 16/06/2016 08:44

Very strange. But if OP was told by the police not to report then I can maybe see why she didn't. Thinking of you OP.

Northumberlandlass · 16/06/2016 08:46

This sounds terrifying HeadWrecked. I hope you are in contact with the Police now and they will pay a visit to his friends house.
Is he on FB or Twitter? I would be bombarding social media with photo's & tagging him in, ask people to share / RT.

DrowningInWallStickers · 16/06/2016 08:47

Hope he turns up op

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 16/06/2016 08:47

Like HQ looked behind the scenes on some other dramatic threads we've all recently reported Navy?

They're on the ball, for sure, if at only 8.46 when this thread was only started at gone midnight, they've already done their looking-behind-the-scenes stuff.

I do firmly believe that they will say that. That they-have-no-reason-to-disbelieve. They always do, at first.

Quietlifenotonyournelly · 16/06/2016 08:48

Op isn't under any obligation to report back on her thread, she's stated that they have an 18 month old baby so I'm pretty sure she'll be taking care of baby/sleeping or frantic about her DH by now and updating mn is probably the last thing on her mind.

DontDeadOpenInside · 16/06/2016 08:49

I hope nothing bad has happened. I'd be worried sick.

Mumsnet is the last place I'd be if my dh had been missing for 4 days Hmm

Gazelda · 16/06/2016 08:54

OP, do you have family, friends around to support you? You must be going out of your mind with worry, and have an 18month old to look after too.
Hope the police can quickly get to the bottom of this.
