UPDATED at 5:58pm, Saturday:

“I found him and his cat. They are safe and at home. I want to thank you ? all and the community. It is heartwarming how many people I met that had seen the post and were supportive and very helpful to me. The world is a good place, with good people. It is not as it appears, and proof is in the pudding.

God bless you and all the supporters. I am forever indebted to you all. He is everything to me and I can finally get some rest tonight because I have been awake since he left.”

“MISSING PERSON:

My son left Earle Street near Church St. around 3:30pm Thursday carrying his calico cat and upset. He has been missing since then. He just turned 18 on 10/12, is 5″8′ and weighs 150 lbs.

He was seen walking on Church Street towards the donut shop at 5:pm yesterday. I will add a video of him leaving showing what he was wearing. And holding the cat. I also will send 2 pictures a recent one with a beard, but he shaved it off a couple of weeks ago, and another older picture without the beard as he is now.

The police told me to send this info to this page. Thank you. My number is 802-417-4999.”-Gordon Goes.
