Post by General Mackevili »

It seems friends and family of Billy Barnaart are freaking out because he's been missing for about 12 hours:

Dutch National Billy Barnaart missing

Long-time expat Billy Barnaart is missing since 11am this Sunday morning (27th May 2018).

Billy has been with our football team (he is our coach) at Domreysor Football Field: https://goo.gl/maps/c56v4vNrPv82

We got worried after his partner called one of the players in the evening informing us that he has not come back home after the game like he intended. He had never done that before. All efforts to call him since then have been in vain (his phone is ringing but nobody is picking up. Facebook and WhatsApp messenger show that he has been inactive since 10.45am. We have already visited a number of the big hospitals, alerted the police and driven up and down the road that leads from the pitch to the family's home but to no avail.

Pictures of his car and himself are attached.

Please respect the privacy of the family and avoid speculations. Any hints on where he is right now are highly appreciated. If you know where Billy is (and only then) please call his family via xxxxxxxx

Cambodia has him now, as we say about thailand.
Check Candy bar, GSM and the rest of hostess bars, probably he is sleep somewhere and his phone was taken by ST lady.

Nevertheless i wish him safe return and get the help he needs.

I gave 2 shits. Don't ever worry me like that again.

Haha, I'm guessing he was found within hours of them sounding the alarms.

Great news! I've been informed that Billy was located within an hour of them posting this on social media, and we can all assume all is well and his friends and family overreacted to him being "missing" for a couple hours. Better safe than sorry, I guess.
