I have an American friend by the name of Tony Shelver, mid 50's. He is a really straight up good guy and I have not heard from him even after sending him numerous text messages and emails. He is the kind of person who always replies so it is very out of character for him to go silent. It is possible that he doesn't want to communicate, but I would doubt that, and that is why I am asking for any information to know of his well being. That is my only concern here.
The last time he sent me a long text message saying he was pulling up stakes in Cagayan de Oro because he was breaking up with his girlfriend and business partner with whom he had a falling out. The worst possible mix of gf and business partner is what concerns me. In my estimation a possible motive for his "disappearance". I am not normally an alarmist, but knowing how easy it is to hire an assassin, and the frequency with which that occurs here, I feel very concerned for his welfare.
He mentioned that he was going to travel more (via motorcycle) and look for another place to settle in the Philippines. I hope that he is safe and on his way to a new life, but I can't help but be concerned. Does anyone from CDO know Tony, or know of him? Any information that will ease my mind. I don't have any photos of him, but his ex-gf from Siquijor may, so I will try to contact her, if I can locate her. Thanks ahead.
