Man deletes his online presence, disappears
 

Hey all. Someone asked me to post this.

Please keep the flaming and trolling to a minimum. This is a human being who has people who care about him. Lets not dehumanize him by saying "lol he dead" or any other crap.

If you live in the greater Vancouver BC area and south through Washington I-5 corridor, would you consider printing and posting some of these around? We want David to know that we care! Post where ever it is allowed

**Due to our efforts, The Vancouver PD have elevated this to a MIssing Persons Case. **

** You can find information as it comes up here on RT and on the Find David Dreger Facebook page **

Message from Danielle, David's sister: Thank you all for your well-wishes and prayers. We are currently working with the police who are scouring Stanley Park. We will keep you updated as we know more. Please pray for David's safe return and we want David to know we love him and miss him so very much.

Message from Danielle 4:00pm pst : The Dreger family is still with the VPD in Stanley Park. The police have made an enormous effort to locate David - looking on foot, from helicopters, on horseback, bikes and ATVs and patrolling the waterways. At this point there is no further news to share. In the same way that you have sent my family well wishes I want you to know that we are thinking of you all - it is so wonderful to know that David is so important to you.

"David is white, 6' tall with an athletic build, short brown hair, blue eyes and was clean shaven when he was last seen," the release reads. "He has a birthmark on the inside of his right bicep. He may be wearing black Chuck Taylor Converse shoes with the Batman logo on them."
Anyone with information about Dreger's whereabouts can contact the Vancouver Police Missing Persons Unit at (604) 717-2530
- mole on the back of his neck
- shoes: size 10-10.5 black chuck taylor converses with bright yellow batman insignia
- jacket: black, 3 in 1 Firefly brand jacket size medium
- pants: most likely wearing jeans size 34-34
- shirt: possibly wearing black and white cycling shirt with a zipper across the back, size XL made by Gore

Damn....doesn't look like the outcome will be happy if he deleted all his accounts before he went missing :(

What a terrible situation for the family to go through...

um...this is like, just as offensive as if someone else wrote it.

This is what I was thinking too. And he left his wallet, phone, computer behind.

Hopefully it's just a coincidence.. :\

Anyone else creeped out by the cryptic message he left on his website?

Welp, see ya later!

Note the title on the website. "welp, see ya later"

So he intentionally made it hard for people to find him.

This has been in the gaming news for a while now, since he was apparently part of a popular gaming website of some sort.

The fact that he deleted all his accounts and left the not-so-cryptic 'see ya later' video leads me to believe he doesn't want to be found. Whether he killed himself or just took on a new identity, he left everyone behind... someone MUST know what's going on, which makes this kind of an interesting story

If all that is true, he's not exactly missing, is he?

You never know...... Could have been forced to.

:rukidding:

That was my first thought. Sometimes people just want to get off the radar.

Pulling Krakauer's Into the Wild? Maybe we'll find him in the forest as well with bad berries.

He's a member of the Rooster Teeth community. There's been talk that he's done exactly what Ice suggested, gone off the grid. I really hope that's the case.

saw this poster in royal Columbia hospital today

thought it was a bit weird...

if he was forced to, I don't think he would have left the "welp, see ya later" comment.

well, if he is alive, I doubt he went to terribly far, airports need id, so do the borders. hes bound to surface sooner or later..(preferably alive)

Wanted to live in the woods maybe? some people have done it before?

If I were him, I'd probably had to think twice about going missing. Too many fucking accounts to remember.

may be he went to join the Hare Krishna

semi srs

went to highschool with the guy

was bullied alot/had issues. shocked to see him on the news 10 years later but a part of me is not surprised...

why delete accounts and leave shit behind if not planning to kill himself.

I'd rather miss work than leave my phone at home. shits serious.

helmet and bike found under bridge....

hope they find him.

its hard to find someone who might be hiding...

This is exactly what I first thought - the very fact that he "deleted" himself before up and vanishing makes the whole thing sound very planned and deliberate. If he was going to kill himself, why bother with all covering his tracks and leaving all means of communication behind?

Reminds me a lot of this case, actually: Footprints At The River's Edge: 12/28/01: Martin Balfour, 26, Pitt Meadows, BC, Canada

no different from tupac or zyzz

Because some times people do. Some actually plan their suicide....pick a day, pick a method, pick a place....all very methodical. Not all suicides are spontaneous and fueled by "in the moment" emotions. Also, some don't want their bodies found.....I knew guy who committed suicide by hanging himself off a jungle-gym at an elementary school while another trekked all the way into the woods by White Pine.

Either way...I feel sorry for the family. They may never get closure...it really very sad as they will have problems moving on.

They found him dead

Ex-Rooster Teeth contributor found dead in West Vancouver | Polygon

Almost 1 month after he went missing... Gotta assume suicide
