I'm not nearly as optimistic as you, mkennedy6405. This story seems pretty fishy. If I had already called a friend to bring me some water, I would be waiting by the road so they could see me. I wonder if he ever took that walk after fighting with his ex... or made those calls to a 'mutual friend' to bring him water. The story almost seems perfectly concocted to cover up for foul play in the event his body was ever discovered.

Missing persons news reports back in August stated that he had went for a walk and had called a friend to bring him some water. My guess is he came across the well and tried to get water from it and somehow ended up falling in or getting stuck in it. Sad story. Prayers for his family.
