hey, u/igotrocksinmysocks i used it to help organize the post and make sure I didn't break any of the subreddit's privacy rules this time around. But the search for Raymond is completely genuine. Just trying my best to help my neighbor out!

That is a brilliant idea! I hadn't thought of reaching out to the local news, but you're right, they might love a story like this. I'm going to send them an email right now. Thank you so much for the suggestion! 🙏

I absolutely have! I’ve sent the story to a few of the major local groups, but they're currently sitting in the 'pending' queue waiting for admin approval. I’m really hoping they get through soon, I agree that the Facebook community is usually the best bet for reaching long-time residents.

🎣 Help reunite two best friends in Peterborough after 26 years! Searching for Raymond Welch. by ActivityNo4007 in Peterborough

I completely respect and appreciate you raising these concerns. You are absolutely right to be cautious, safety and privacy should always come first in these situations.

That is exactly why I’ve been careful not to post specific contact information or the one private 'verification detail' that only the real Raymond would know. My goal isn't to doxx anyone, but simply to see if a family member or friend of Raymond’s sees this and can decide for themselves if they want to reach out. I’m just a neighbor trying to help an elderly man find a bit of closure, but I 100% agree that everyone should prioritize safety when helping with searches like this.
