SOCIAL MEDIA AMBER ALERT

A friend of mine has asked me to spread the word that we are looking for a missing person, Joe Sjoberg (pronounced Show-Berg). He is probably in the upper Midwest somewhere.

MISSING: JOE SJOBERG from MADISON, WI
ARTICLE IN THE ATLANTIC:HERE

FROM JOE'S BROTHER:

Right now the last true piece of evidence had him in Madison, but we've heard of car sightings in Minnesota.

Its likely he's in Wisconsin but he could be anywhere as he's been missing for almost a week. If you're in the MN-WI Area Please Print This Flyer and Post It Around: http://bit.ly/gQ4BtJ

Joe Sjoberg (pronounced: SHOW-BERG) has been missing since Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

He lives in Madison, Wisconsin. Joe was last seen on the near East side of Madison, WI. Baldwin at Sherman. The police are involved and are doing all they can,

Joe is about 5'10, 180-200 lbs. He has short (not very short) brown hair and greenish eyes. He had about three or four weeks worth of beard when I last saw him.

May be wearing a hoodie, maybe a ski jacket.

He took his grey shoes with red trim; they're casual sneakers, a bit beat up.

Joe drives a GREY '91 Caprice with Washington state plates 513-WYN which is also missing.

Hmmm.

I only read the article briefly, but I saw no clue that the guy was under any form of care (ie incapable of making his own decisions), nor did I see any mention of dependants.

I am sure that his friends and familly are upset, but in a free country what right does anyone have to hunt him down?

The person who asked me to post this is not at "hunt someone down" kinda person, but I don't actually know the story yet. If I can answer your question at some point, though, I will.
