Much love to all of you So as most people know by now Ryan Lagois has gone missi...ng he was last spoken to at about 1:30am Friday morning when he was at Warriewood McDonalds, we have been able to determine that he then purchased what we presume was fuel at 4am Friday morning on the Pacific Highway at Wahroonga. Ryan doesnt have his phones but has his laptop! He was logged into Facebook for about 10 mins on Friday night just after 6pm, we are unsure if He reached out to anyone during this time, he hasnt been online or active since. He had an event he was meant to be at last night near Lithgow and did not show up nor contact the organisers for that. Everyone that knows Ryan well knows that this is completely out of character for him and there are legitimate concerns for his welfare and current state of mind. Below is a picture of his current car and what he is driving. Can everyone share the hell out of this post so we can reach as many of his friends and contacts that we can. If you have any information of any ideas where he might be please flick me a PM If anyone has heard from him since Friday it is impertive that you reach out.
