So, here's the deal:
My brother was on a call for work, about 3 hours away from his home last night (Sunday night). The last anyone heard from him was that he was on his way back, about 2 hours away. He never made it home.
We have tried calling, texting, emailing his Iphone and it all goes straight to voicemail. His girlfriend tried to do the 'FindmyIphone" app or w/e its called, but while she thinks she has his email, she doesn't have his password to link them.
The work vehicle has On-star, but it was never hooked up (Because his bosses are fucking stupid), and right now, we are being told there's no way to remotely enable it or even try and ping it to try and get his location.
His girlfriend works for their local police dept and we have reported him missing. They have also tried to get the phone company to ping the phone, to at least try and get us a location to search at, but his girlfriend is saying they wont release that info, to her or even to the police due to privacy concerns.
----------------------------------------
I want to note, I'm getting all this second hand from the rest of my family. I live about halfway between where he had gone on call and his home, so I went out and drove half the route he may have taken, to see if i could find any signs of a crash. I came up empty and the sun was setting. Some of the rest of the family ran the other half of the possible route and didn't find anything either.
Half the problem is that there's 2 main routes he may have taken and other possible shortcuts he may have taken and we have no idea what route he went.
At best, we know we grabbed food, likely where he did the drop off for work, then stopped at a gas station on his way back, but it gets fuzzy after that.
We did call all hospitals in the areas and along the paths he would have gone and also checked with both local police depts and any medical examiner locations and came up empty.
--------------------------------------
So, to anyone who may have any ideas. Is there anyway we can get the phone company to give someone (even just the police) the phone location, or does anyone know of a way to remotely activate an Onstar vehicle?
We just need some kind of direction to give us a place to search at, otherwise we are driving 3 hours of roads just hoping to find a needle in a haystack.
I do want to note, that its possible he just up and left. But i doubt that, only because he really wouldn't have anyplace else to go and had been working on plans to start his own business, so I don't think he would up and just run off. Hence why we are leaning towards a vehicle accident of some kind.
i appreciate any help that you all can provide. I am just running out of ideas, other than to just start driving come morning and pray I see something somewhere.
