I need some serious advice. My wife and I have a friend who we haven't heard from in two weeks. She hasn't been on social media since then and she hasn't returned any of our calls or texts at all. The last thing she texted was that she wasn't paying much attention to her phone because she had just met an incredible guy she was spending her time with to get to know and now we're getting really concerned because she was supposed to come by this weekend to make plans since she was going to be spending Xmas with us and we've heard nothing.

What should we do? Is there any way to try to find out she is okay without coming off looking like a pair of stalkers?

Now I should also mention we actually don't know where she lives as we have never been to her place before. This was the first year she has actively been hanging out with us even though we have known her for several years now, so us stopping at her place to check on her is out of the question. She has no family that lives here who can help either (she also isn't on speaking terms with them).

Now maybe she really hasn't been on her phone to see our stuff, but I just want to make sure.

If you don't know where she lives, call the police and ask them to do a welfare check. They likely will know how to find her, assuming she filed a change of address when she moved.

But between the talk of the new guy and COVID in general, it seems a reasonable concern. And where she mentions that she's not close with her family and her friends don't even know she lives, a guy with bad intentions might see that as an opportunity.

You're on her Facebook? Try to message someone innher family and express your concern. If they can't get in touch with her either then they can call for a wellfare check as they should know where she lives. If she has local family they can just go over and check.

This.

If she's a good friend, she won't mind that you actually were worried about her safety.

There's a lot of red flags here. I'd give her one last text, letting her know of your concern, and say that you'll be reporting her missing if you get no response within 24 hours. It's drastic, sure, but an isolated individual missing a planned gathering after meeting a new guy they've become smitten with screams all kinds of wrong things.

Do you guys have any shared friends? Do you have an idea if/where she works? Those are places to start.

if you have neither, maybe give it another week? At least until close to New Years, and maybe frame your text as one of concern, and that youre still open to having her over whenever, etc...

You know her better than I do, so maybe this wouldnt work. Idk.

Is she your friend though? Because it sounds like she might not be reciprocating your friendship as much as you think. Regardless, shes an adult and you're not her parent.

Yup.

This doesn't really sound like you're friends at all. It sounds like you're getting ghosted and taking it horribly. Seeing as all parties involved seemed to struggle socially, I'd say that's where Occam's razor drops. Just so you know, the police won't tell you how she is doing but they will check up on her.

As you don't know where she lives and have acknowledged she would rather spend time with her new bloke then be on the internet or her phone I don't see much you can do. A good suggestion as already said in this topic is to perhaps contact her close family members on Facebook. If she was a friend though she wouldn't be ghosting you and your wife like this so perhaps you're thinking too much into it.

Idk if it's been said already, but there are a few things you could do. If you know where she works, you could drop by to visit if it's a place that allows visitors. Also, if she has social media, you could always ask someone she considers a close friend if they have heard from her. It would at least be a start...

As for the part I quoted above, we ARE her closes friends. :-(

Everyone else she is friends with are cosplay friends and are also mutual friends with me.

From the sounds of things the guy is pretty great. The friend sounds kinda flaky and transient. Hope he's okay and didnt step in something over his head.

Nah. To put it bluntly, she was raped when she was younger and had to dump all of her old friends because they were friends with the guy. Since then, she's had a lot of trust issues with people, which is where I believe this problem is stemming from.

On the good side of news, she is not dead, so there's that. I left her a voice mail telling her that I am glad things are going well with her boyfriend and that we are there for her whenever she needs us no matter what, so never be afraid to contact us.

What problems? She with a new bloke so apparently her trust is fine and as far as I gather you're the one with a issue as you were trying to contact someone you haven't seen in a while. These type of topics end up the same way in most cases. The TC asks for advise, ignores all advice given and resolves the problem themselves.

Except I wasn't ignoring the advice. One person said to wait another week before really doing something. I don't know her address, so I couldn't call police to do a wellness check.

Meanwhile, others weren't giving any advice, but being your typical GameFAQs dbag.

And I have no idea how you even gathered that she stayed friends with a rapist. I never once said that, so who's ignoring what who said?

Dude, that was years before we knew her in the state she was born in. Why wouldn't I believe her though? She had no reason to ever lie to us about it. This is exactly why Weinstein and Cosby got away with what they did for decades, no one wanted to believe a woman because it came out of their mouths.

This is saying her ex friends stayed friends with a rapist over the victim(your friend). To elaborate more that seems a very odd thing for these people to do if this indeed actually took place.

Normally, Id agree. But Ive actually seen this happen a number of times. Sometimes, its just that they dont believe the victim. It could also be that the other friends were pieces of shot who werent with it. Or that they dont know...

Surely the TCs friend would have told them the situation before not becoming friends with them and I'd assume a police investigation would have been opened. This is just assumptions though. It could go many ways and indeed her ex friends might not have believed her. She's better off without them if they know about this bloke been a rapist and still took his side though. Yikes.

Oh. I dont know specifics about this friendship. I was just saying Ive seen shit like this happening... There are people who are fine with their friends doing shitty things because they also did shitty things. I think there was a story once about a female almost getting raped by a group of like 5 guys. And obviously, the guys would care because most of the were in on it. And their GFs didnt believe the other girl because they didnt want to believe their BFs would do something like that. Cheaters, too. There were a group of guys who had a guys night where their GFs werent allowed. Turns out the reason was because they were cheaters. And the reason the other guys didnt care was because they were all cheating...
