Ok listen up people, this is very serious. A good mountain bike friend of mine from back home has gone missing in America. His name is Jonny Dorey.

Jonny is 5′11″, about 182lbs, and was last seen wearing a WHITE AND BLUE PLAID JACKET, NAVY BLUE BACKPACK, DARK JEANS and BLACK SNEAKERS. It is also likely that he has his black mountain bike with him. He may be wearing glasses and also has a very strong english accent. Jonny’s been missing since March 2nd and the lack of news on his whereabouts is beginning to become unsettling. He is an exchange student at VCU in Richmond, Virginia, U.S.A. He lives in the GRC dorms and his bike is missing. He hasn’t been to classes, his phone’s been off for days, he hasn’t used any of his banks cards nor logged in to e-mail accounts or Facebook.

Whilst this is mainly targeted at an American audience, if anyone – anywhere, recognises him or thinks they might know something, please either post something on the FB group page or get in touch with the feds. His parents have flown to the states and his brother has had to cut his NZ trip short to go and be with his family in America.

This is Jonny’s bike. It is a black mountain bike and is not at his house, so he probably has it with him. If you see it locked up anywhere, please let us know. It should also be noted that there is a red strip on the seat.

This is a friend of my brothers from university, if anyone has any information, contact them straight away,he is very missed!

This is unbeleivable.

Someone on here falls off a bike and breaks an arm and there is a hundred posts saying 'healing vibes dude' and when someonce actually goes missing the post slips down the ranks.

Just last week I was reading BV's post about this place being a community. What a dissapointment.

I would guess that most don't really know what to say- I know I don't.
I hope he's found soon and that he's ok!

Agreed. I hope he is located soon. I'm nowhere near the area where he went missing so there isn't much else I can add.

Are there local trails.....?......some trails can get pretty remote....anyone search those areas....?......did anyone check to see if his riding gear was gone besides his bike...?.....

Riding accident might fall in-line with the no phone, no credit card....i'm sure someone's thought of this already though....

 

[johnnypop]

Is there any news from the search on Friday?? Hopefully all is well

 

[Muttely]

Good to see this has worked its way onto the sky news headlines! anything that could be useful, get it to where it needs to go!

 

[TrumbullHucker]

good to see that there are 20K + facebook members to his "Help find Jonny Dorey"

keep us updated

 

[S.K.C.]

His family must be completely freaking out. It's a horrendous thing to have to deal with especially if your loved one is halfway around the planet. I haven't heard any more info on this but I'll check back over at DIRT to see if there are any new developments.

Thoughts and prayers with his family.

Here's to hoping he's out on a long solo adventure in the woods. Scary that even in the 21st century someone can just disappear; best of wishes to him, his family, and his friends.

It's probably more out of the fact that none of us really have anything productive to add, and we're trying to keep the typical jackassery away.

FWIW I saw the original info posted in the Virgina regional forum, and I cross posted it in the lounge.


Hope the guy turns up unharmed.

A fair point but I'd rather jackassery to it dissapearing.

I found it frustrating at how quickly this was dropping down the forum.

And thanks for the x-post and thanks all.

release the hounds!

Do you know if law enforcement has tried to trace his phone to it's last point of triangulation? That usually narrows things down a bit.

 

[p-spec]

Hope the poor guy is found and is safe.

I've red this over 3 times in 3 different days,no idea wat to say.

 

[bullcrew]

Good luck man. As stated look for his gear and scour any local spots for the bike.
Best wishes.

 

[kickstand]

another bump to the top....

I hope they find this guy...
