An update...
Apr. 30th, 2007 07:30 pmA while ago, I posted an entry about a doctor I work with who had suddenly disappeared. Thanks to an anonymous poster on my journal, I realized I'd never followed up and that it wasn't so nice of me after all the well wishes for Dr. Brooks and his family that I'd received. I definitely apologize. It made me realize some people do actually care about people they don't know and that it might have been of some interest.
He disappeared just outside of Washington DC and was found in Alabama some time later. The initial story we were told was that he didn't know how he'd gotten there, making it sound like maybe a medical thing? *shrugs*
All we know now, is that he told police at first that he was visiting a friend in a veteran's home down south. Then, is a second story, he stated he was held at gunpoint in DC and told to drive a man to Mexico. Supposedly, the man had gotten out about 8o miles from where he was found> Police found Dr. Brooks sitting in his van, reading a map.
I haven't heard any more details, but it all sounds fishy and very out of character for the man I've known for almost 20 years. Last heard, his wife was traveling to Alabama.
So anyway, I am not drawing any conclusions, but those are the facts. *shrugs* I am glad he's safe and at least his friends and family can stop worrying.
