Anybody in NE Ohio?

EDIT: Never mind; he's been found and is OK.

 

Specifically near Leetonia?  Have an online friend up there who's disappeared.  Phone off, not replying to emails, etc.  AFAIK, he doesn't use Facebook anyway.

Several of us have tried to contact him, and while he may just be hiding from an ex girlfriend, it's been about a month, and he's had serious PTSD and alcoholism (and he's diabetic, so the drinking has nearly killed him a couple times - he was clean for several months, but I suspect if he's out of contact, that's a part of the reason) issues in the past, so it would be great if someone in the area could check on him face to face, and maybe sit down and just let him ramble about whatever is going on.  Even if we could get in touch with him, he's sort of the odd one of the group geographically; I think the closest of us is about 400 miles away, and phone or email just isn't the same as someone to talk to face to face if he's falling back on the bottle.

Missionaries are an option, but I'd rather he not think we're trying to convert him.  (Raised something fundamentalist, so he's a bit tired of altar calls.)  Someone with experience dealing with PTSD and/or alcoholism would be ideal, but anyone willing to listen would be a big help.

If there's reason to believe he's in trouble (and it sounds like there is), perhaps calling the local police for a wellness check up?

Never mind; literally ten minutes ago he called one of the guys to say that his computer and phone got trashed by a power surge.  He was enjoying the peace and quiet for a couple weeks until his son showed up to check on him and they decided to go on a two week hunting trip in the Ozarks without telling anyone, including his sister who is quite likely on her way to beat the crap out of him for not borrowing the son's phone and letting people know he was OK all along.
