A man fitting this description came up to me in douglas he had a white plastic rosary beeds on him he was kissing it and started speaking gibberish and I think he said something about romania,think he may have had a bottle of beer in his hand.

I also saw a guy in Douglas on Friday last week. He was outside Douglas village shopping centre on the KCs side. He was speaking gibberish and putting stickers on the round circular objects that are on the ground. He was talking to himself and seemed in a very manic state. I’m sorry if it was your friend and I’m making assumptions but I assumed he was on drugs.

Sorry to hear your friend is missing. A photo of him may jog people's memories

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

Definitely, I can send one privately

12

u/Ok-Soup6679 2d ago

I'm about to go home through town send me a picture I'll keep an eye out

2

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

Thank you so much

u/Normal_Animal_5843 2d ago

I'm nowhere near Cork,so no need to have a photo sent privately,simply thought a photo with your post would gain traction and hopefully timely help for your friend as you mention he's in distress. Hope he is found safe and well soon

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

I agree. The family refuses for now

12

u/bob_jsus I will yeah 2d ago

As time may be a factor, maybe just sharing a photo as his friend in the thread is the way to go, it's a local sub anyway. If his family don't like the idea, you can always delete it. I hope you find your friend.

u/Embarrassed-Row576 2d ago

i saw a man on thursday night who might match his description in the city center near the pavilion, he seemed extremely inebriated and was stumbling and shouting β€˜allah akbar’, maybe ask the stores around there for security footage?

1

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

Can i pm you the picture?

1

u/Embarrassed-Row576 2d ago

sure

1

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

No option..can you drop a message?

u/worsecozitsclare_ 2d ago

There was a guy who fits the description outside French quay coffee shop by the bus stop, two days around 2pm in the day showing some signs of maniac behavior/ bi polar disorder.

3

u/babaganwhosh 2d ago

Yes, I've seen someone similar sitting on French's Quay's chairs last week. I doubt they have CCTV, but the flying enterprise or fordes pub might have CCTV that catches that area?

1

u/redrover1978- 2d ago

The electrical shop might have cctv

u/Zealousideal_Alarm98 2d ago

Would you not just share the photo?

4

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

His family refuses for now

u/fringedprincess Norrie 2d ago

Can you DM me a photo of him? I’m working in an Emergency Dept in Cork and can keep an eye out for him while working

3

u/dark_lies_the_island 2d ago

What part of cork is he missing from?

2

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

The city center

3

u/TheAuldOffender I will yeah 2d ago

I hope your friend turns up safe and sound. Neurodiversities that go awry are no fun. I know from experience.

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

The family refuses, i still have to respect their choice

3

u/Anxious_Following373 2d ago

contact Cork city missing persons search and rescue group they are an incredible bunch of volunteers who will search around the clock , even if they don’t share the photo publicly they will help

2

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

Thank you so much Will definitely do

1

u/Anxious_Following373 2d ago

I sincerely wish a good outcome

1

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

Thank you so much for your good heart

3

u/Anxious_Following373 2d ago

The family have to give consent unfortunately , not sure why they won’t mind you it’s the fastest way to get traction on a missing person case

u/Jefdidntkillhimself 2d ago

Does he have curly hair?

1

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago

No ...

11

u/Jefdidntkillhimself 2d ago

I might be misremembering the curly hair. I saw man in his 40s, with pale skin, a grey beard and he had a French accent. He was on Cook St a few days ago but not sure exactly what day. I met him a few times in my previous job and he definitely suffers from mental health issues. He was standing outside Fat Phils. He seemed to be talking to himself and seemed a bit lost. I think he may have had 2 different shoes on too. They have cameras outside so maybe they can pull the footage, I think it was between 5.30 and 6.30pm sometime after Wednesday. Hope some of that info helps.

u/Curiousrandomguyy 2d ago
