Can someone start a thread for Alex Johnson?   https://www.facebook.com/FindAlexJohnson

He disappeared before Christmas, was expected home (in my hometown) for Christmas but disappeared a few days before in Lexington, KY.  His girlfriend was talking to him on the phone when someone came to his front door.  He ended the call to answer the door and that was the last he was heard from.  He had a meeting scheduled that day at University of KY but didn't make that appointment.

Last I heard they are dragging the Kentucky river outside Lexington. 

His family is beside themselves and want to know what happened to him.

thanks.

Here is an article that sums it up pretty good:

http://www.webpronews.com/missing-lexington-man-the-ky-mystery-continues-2013-12

Missing Lexington Man: The KY Mystery Continues

"Alex is a “trustworthy” and “dependable” 32-year old who works as a chef at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. But when he didn’t show up for a work meeting on Saturday, Dec. 21, his family knew something was wrong.

“It’s completely out of character. He would never go more than a few hours without calling his girlfriend or family,” Cayce Johnson, Alex’s sister, said. “He’s never missed a work meeting or Christmas with his family.”

Missing Lexington Man: The KY Mystery Continues

"Alex is a “trustworthy” and “dependable” 32-year old who works as a chef at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. But when he didn’t show up for a work meeting on Saturday, Dec. 21, his family knew something was wrong.

“It’s completely out of character. He would never go more than a few hours without calling his girlfriend or family,” Cayce Johnson, Alex’s sister, said. “He’s never missed a work meeting or Christmas with his family.”



On Monday, December 23, Alex did not show up for a preplanned shopping trip with his family in Bowling Green, KY. That is when confusion turned to fear for Cayce and the rest of the family.

“When he did not arrive that’s when we really knew something was wrong…He was really looking forward to coming home for Christmas” she said.

Today, Alex’s car still sits at his home and cellphone records show that he has not used his phone since Friday night, Dec. 20, when he last spoke to his girlfriend.

Cayce told the Huffington Post that Alex had no known enemies or desire to take off and leave.

“He’s a really great guy. He never met anyone he didn’t like and he never met anyone that didn’t like him. He is deeply loved by friends and family,” she said.

Lexington Police continue to question people and search for clues in a case they describe as “suspicious.”

“I want my brother back,” Cayce said. “My parents, they need their son back. They’re just, they’re completely heartbroken. We all are. Our lives have just been turned upside down.”

Alex Johnson is approximately 6 feet tall, 150 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.

A Facebook page has been set up to aide in the mysterious quest to find Alex.

Relatives hope for good news after Lexington man's disappearance
December 26, 2013


Alex Johnson

 
Johnson, 32, went missing Dec. 20, she said. He was talking to his girlfriend on the phone when there was a knock at his apartment door. Cayce said Alex told his girlfriend he would call her back.

Relatives became concerned after Johnson didn't return their calls or follow through with plans he made with friends for later that night. He also didn't make a Saturday meeting at the University of Kentucky, where he works as a campus chef.

Their fears became all too real as the days passed.

"He was supposed to come down Monday to go Christmas shopping," said Cayce Johnson. "But he didn't show up."

She said Lexington police have called Alex's disappearance suspicious but haven't explained why.

Alex Johnson's car remains at his residence on North Hanover Avenue, and cellphone records indicate he has not used his phone since Friday night, his sister said. Cayce said he doesn't have any enemies and is loved by all his relatives.

Crews search river for missing Lexington man
December 31, 2013

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Two fire departments searched the Kentucky River near the Madison/Fayette County line for missing Lexington man, Alex Johnson.

Police say their investigation into his disappearance has them going down a checklist of possibilities and this was just one of them.
 
Johnson works at UK. His family says it's unlike him not to be in contact with someone for this long, and police call the disappearance suspicious.

They say his cell phone or bank accounts have not been used in the last week.

I hope they find this young man.  His family is suffering and needs to know what happened and where he is.  The police say his disappearance is suspicious but nothing more than that.

Will keep his family and friends in my thoughts and prayers.

I didn't read that on his facebook.  Thanks.  I know they are on the Kentucky river looking for him.  Sure hope they don't find him there.

I so hope the Lexington police is taking this disappearance serious.  Just read this article:

http://www.kentucky.com/2014/01/02/3015326/mystery-deepens-in-pre-christmas.html

Mystery deepens in pre-Christmas disappearance of Lexington man

 

 Almost two weeks after Alex Johnson's disappearance, a note is posted on the front door of his North Han over Avenue apartment: "Please call your sister. She's worried about you."

Johnson's family remains baffled after the Lexington man's disappearance last month.

"There are no leads at all," Johnson's father, Lee Johnson said during a telephone interview from his Bowling Green home. "We haven't heard anything at all.

"The Lexington police department are investigating but there hasn't been anything."





...I realize that the first thought police have is that this person is an adult and they probably just walked away leaving behind his car and bank account.  His family (and him are from my hometown)  are absolutely certain he would not just walk away.  The police would not confirm if they were looking for Alex out on the Kentucky river.  But posting a note on his front door to call his sister, she is worried, doesn't appear to me they are taking this 100% serious.  Just my thoughts.

I just thought that he looked so familiar and one of his middle school teacher posted on facebook that she taught him. Well guess what, my son graduated with him.  I knew he looked familiar to me.  They probably went to school together all 12 grades.

It's just heartbreaking.  We read articles all the time about missing persons. However, when we look closely, we can see names, faces and lives.  Loved ones. People are missing and it's not a story nor is it just a statistic.   It's very real and it can happen to any one of us at anytime.  I have a son that's going to be 30 years old.  I put myself in the place of Alex Johnson's family and I think of what it would be like if it were my son missing under these circumstances.  From what I can read in the article, it's just not like  Alex to not show up at his job nor not be in contact with his family.  It would be the same for my son.  There are some very rare cases, where an adult may just walk away, but I believe so many times it's not the case.  The delay in searching can mean a difference.  I hope Alex can be found soon and found safe.

His family should know his character and be very good judges of whether just "disappearing" voluntarily is something he would do. I wish there were something to go on. I hope he's alright and can be found soon. I can't imagine facing the disappearance of a loved one. Keeping Alex and his loved ones in my prayers.

How strange.  The front page has a disappearance of a Jena Chisholm from Florence, KY which is just 70 miles north of Lexington.  She dissappeared the night of Dec. 19, Alex Johnson disappeared the day of the 20th.  They traced her to Las Vegas and found her dog but not her.  Her phone was turned off when she got around St Louis.  I wonder if these 2 cases are related in any way?

I agree, Blue Moon. That is strange. Jena's been gone since the 19th and they found her dog in Vegas? I wonder who has been caring for the dog? I keep hoping there will be some word on Alex.....

CBB, they found Jena.  She called her mother about a couple hours ago.  She was in a casino with a guy who looked like a homeless person.  Still makes me wonder if that "homeless" guy was Alex because of his overgrown beard.  Probably not but it is just weird.  She had lots of friends from UK on her facebook, just makes you wonder.

There has been no new news on Alex. That is troubling.  His keys, wallet, cell phone are missing but his vehicle is in the driveway.  He had to have known whoever was at that door.  I mean, who kidnaps a full grown man and no neighbors noticed anything wrong.

Other than the sign being put up in Lexington there doesn't appear to be anything new on Alex.  I sure do hope he is found soon.  The longer it goes on the worse it gets for the family and friends.

I read one comment on Facebook, they asked if the front door was locked or unlocked.  The reply was that the police doesn't want any info out on his disappearance.  I can understand that but they really have to give some information out in order to keep people looking for him.  To me, if the police don't care (which the family says they do) then this will just fall to the wayside and he will not be found. At this point no one knows anything about Alex except he disappeared.  The police should be giving updates on what is happening so everyone can see they are concerned and looking into this.  Heck, even the news is not picking up on this.  You can't ask people to find him if the police haven't given you anything to go on, like have they checked cameras in the area, did they see anything suspicious vehicles in the area, Do they believe he just walked away or do they believe he left willingly or unwillingly with someone, anything is better than nothing. 

I pray for his family and friends that he shows up soon and unharmed.

Heck, way doesn't the family call the NSA and check into his phone calls for the last week before he disappeared?  I mean, they seem to know every move we make anyway.
