There is little that can compare to the anguish and suffering of having a missing child, parent, spouse, or pet. The pain of someone missing for just a day will try the best of us, so imagine a week, a month, or many months? The guessing, wondering, hoping, the sadness, the questions about if they are alive, and if they are, do they have food? A roof over their head?
That’s exactly what has happened to a New Bedford man, Christopher Prien, whose father has been missing since October 30th. He has exhausted every avenue. Called all the places a missing persn could possibly be at – hospitals, shelters. jail, etc.
“Hey, I need some help. My father has been missing since October 30th. He fell real hard into drugs 6-7 years ago.

His phone has been off since November 1st and I have no way of contacting him. I’ve called every jail, every hospital, had a wellness check done on his last known address and police said the house was condemned when they showed up.
Police have been notified. He was living in New Bedford for 6-7 years and maybe 8 months ago moved to Wareham but I dont know if he was evicted or kicked out (hard to get the truth from a drug addict) but the word is that he moved back to New Bedford November 1st.
I’m desperate to find him. It’s cold outside, he’s 72 years old and too prideful to ask anyone for help. He’s only bounced between Wareham and New Bedford to my knowledge.
If a post could potentially help find him that would be helpful. We are desperate to find him in hopes that he’s OK. He’s 72 years old, his name is George Prien. Thanks for your time.”
