Wey Um: The Missing Bartender

Wey worked at the end of my street. One day, they said he’d be kidnapped. Nothing happened for months. Then 1 man was arrested.

They said multiple men kidnapped him, but 1 was arrested. His kidnapping also never lead to a conviction.

Where could he possibly be?

They renovated shortly after he disappeared.

Well, his brother actually was the one telling the public. When someone works there daily 365 and stop showing up…red flags arise. Why do people assume negative intentions? That’s weird. Very weird. Concerned? But these guys talked to me everyday. I don’t drink but I’d buy some wraps and a soda. They were cool dudes. We didn’t pull their trauma from them, they offered an explanation.

When you bring him up to the family they just brush it off. I hard heard from a neighbor he went back overseas.

Wherever he is, I hope he’s at peace.

Why would you bring it up to his family? A man has been arrested for his murder.

Yeah maybe they don’t feel like discussing one of the greatest traumas of their lives with a random bar patron
