Where is Joey Lan?

Information provided by Kyle, Missing Poster provided by Me


As many of you know. Joey is missing. We have made brief contact with him but it was not promising. Here is the story line thus far.

Sunday
10:30-11:00pm Joey and his girlfriend re-heated sauce in Apt. 924 kitchen

Monday
Joey did not respond to any e-mails or texts.

Conclusion- Absent from work.

Side Note- Both Motorcycle and Civic remained at Caledon Woods but was not found inside the apartment.

7:43pm - I piece this together and realize he actually is missing. We attempt to make contact via cell phone.

8:02pm - We stalked his Facebook and Facebook messaged his girl friend who left a post on his wall at 2:31pm .

8:14pm - I receive a phone call from Joey who sounds fine, there is background noise and he jokingly informs me he has been captured by ninjas and thinks he will be returned later that night. He admits that his disappearance from work was unplanned.

11:58pm - After staying up late waiting for Joey, Rob retreats to his bed to sleep.

Tuesday
6:41am - I walk to the kitchen a realize his door is still ajar and he did not come home again.

Conclusion: The wall post left by his girlfriend was a cover up. He was forced to call me and confirm that he was "ok" and not to worry. Joey was in fact kidnapped by ninjas or another massive armed force….. Or a small 5'1" Asian bomb shell.

Any information on his where abouts would be greatly appreciated. Rob and me miss our hermit. If Joey does not reveal himself by 5:00pm today the Caesar's Head run maybe canceled, co-op search parties will be created and we will get our Sherlock Holmes on.

Update from Kyle (10:05am)

Me and Aaron went to his desk. Where he was not to be found. As I asked his neighboring co-worker, his odd boss intervened by saying he had called in said he had family matters he needed to go home for.

-------------------

We know that Joey lied to his supervisor about where he really was. If it was a real family emergency, he would've taken his own car or even his motorcycle so that way his girlfriend wouldn't have to drive back down here from Charlotte. And why wouldn't he tell Kyle or Robbie if it was something important like that? He should at least tell his roommates if he isn't going to be there or at work.

So far, our best theory is that his girlfriend kidnapped him and they are going to get married in a small chapel outisde of Atlanta for $90. If he isn't here for the rest of the week, it would mean that he is on his honeymoon. We need to find him! More details will be released later as our investigation continues.

Update from Aaron (12:39pm)

Co-ops went out to eat lunch at Taco Tuesday. Despite undercover speculation and rumors, Joey did not miraculously show up to order his chicken tacos. 15 hours and 46 minutes have passed since last contact was made. Communication attempts were made this morning but failed - his phone went straight to voicemail. Extensive manhunt to begin today at 6:00pm if he is not found.

Current status for going to Caeser's Head: Unlikely

Update from Aaron (12:46pm)

BREAKING NEWS!

Ingrid's sweater was stolen sometime between 12:20pm and 12:45pm. Surveilence teams have spotted the suspect with the item in question.

He has announced that he is holding the sweater hostage and that there will be a ransom letter soon to follow. As an underground criminal, he might be a conspirator in the Joey Lan disappearance case.

Update from Aaron (3:10pm)

At approximately 2:59pm this afternoon, we received the ransom letter concerning Ingrid's sweater, as it was mentioned earlier. The letter was found marked, "Abide or LOSE". Forensics experts are trying to find a fingerprint or any other piece of evidence to figure out the identity of the "Sweater Stealer."

Update from Josh (9:27pm)

Joey's girlfriend replied to the Facebook message sent at 8:02pm on Sunday. Her response:

"haha...i'm sorry!

no worries...he's safe and sound.

you'll get him back soon...i promise :]"

Update from Kyle (7:43am)

Good news to all. I awoke to find Joey's door shut and his alarm going off this morning. I still have not made contact with him but I feel reassured he will make an appearance today.

Update from Joey (9:01am)

Hello fellow co-ops,

I am safe and sound and back at work. I thank everyone for their concern and support even though Kyle would not pay for my safe release, citing financial difficulties, not the fact that I owe him $10 from two weeks ago.

Now for the true (less interesting) story. I had some really serious personal problems that I had to go home for to deal with which aren't related to my relationship. I did not get married nor did I lie to my boss about the situation. I know this isn't a satisfactory explanation but lets just leave it a mystery.

-------------------

Mystery solved? No.

Joey found? Yes.

Thank you to all involved in helping return our friend and bringing news updates as to his whereabouts.
