BWW is about to copy and paree your thread into an article, along with JL's brief biography. Just wait.

The NY Daily News reported on it, but no new information. Still shocked that neither BWW or Playbill have covered this at all. I mean, I get that he isn't considered a huge name, but he's still a part of the Broadway community.

It could be that the family doesn't want those stories, so as not to interfere with the police search and those websites are respecting their wishes. Shuffle Along cast member Christian Dante White posted this on his Facebook wall:
"Friends & loved ones of JL Williams, his MOTHER has asked that all posts regarding JL be removed from social media ASAP unless they are approved by HER or the POLICE DEPT, to avoid and hinderance of the investigation. Thank you. #JLWilliams
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing that, Smaxie. In that case, should this thread be deleted?

So I guess BWW didn't get the "no media" memo.....

I don't see how "banning" social media posts is effective....

How do they expect to find him if no one knows to be looking?

And, now he's telling his story in a one man show. He is so brave to tell his story. He's an example to us all re:perseverance and stamina. I can't wait to see it!
