  1. So sad. Such a shame. As a father myself, I can’t even imagine what his family must be going through… 🙁

    1. I won’t give up hope. I pray everyday for his safe return. Never met the young man but he graduated high school with my daughter so this hits home. My candle will be lit at 11:30 tonight and my yellow ribbon sits waiting for good news.

  2. This is so sad and I really hope this young man is found safe. I’d like to hear what follow up has taken place at Market, the bar he was at. I think the public should get answers about his treatment. With so many college kids at bars in Boston this is a real risk.
