There is a thread on Chinariders for one of the members who started a disturbing thread. It seems like the classic call for help from someone who is contemplating suicide. On CR, he is known as DesertDog, and Dscooterman here. He did not leave a message here, but has left something disturbing when you click on his profile here.

I don't think anyone lives in or near Elko, Nevada on this forum? The sheriff's office had been notified by Frostbite from Chinariders, and I have been playing phone tag with one of the deputies, too. Apparently, they have gone to his home, and no one appears to be there. Someone on CR has contacted the local paper (not sure what it's called, but if you go to the home page of CR, there is a link to the thread, and one of the posts has links to the paper and the t.v. news).

I hope it's not as dire as we all fear, but his silence is truly deafening!
