Anyone have advice on how to find someone who is completely off the grid? No internet, no known address, and no phone that I'm aware of?
I haven't talked to my father in almost a year, since shortly after his home was burned down in the Camp Fire in CA last year. Last I heard he was enjoying life in the refugee camp. Those camps have all closed now.
Not worried about his health, he's the Ubermensch! But, I'd like to find him and I don't know where to start since I'm in a different state.
I should probably add that he's a Marine and Vietnam veteran with PTSD, and who has a serious distaste for authority. Last time a cop came to his house, my father challenged him to a fistfight, deadass. 😶
DM me with any suggestions!
I don’t know if he’d be the kind of guy who’d stick around homeless shelters, but I’d start there. Shelters and such programs often keep an eye on all the homeless in their area, or at least try to. If he’s a memorable chap, they are more likely to know of him.
Any old military buddies?
Also call police stations, see if he’s had any more run-ins with them.
He might be camping on BLM or other public land for free. “Dispersed camping.”
Or the illegal kind of camping?
Source: have been homeless, used Boy Scout skills to scrape by between jobs because like hell I was moving in with dad, and mom is too poor to help and I was too ashamed to ask.
@th3j35t3r any suggestions? You ought to know the type I'm talking about.
