Here's one link to the basic story..

I'm a little confused by all of this. I'm all about safety, but this sounds like a mis-communication and some poor planning. (maybe he told his landlord to expect him in earlier?!) This report said he hadn't been seen since afternoon. (So we are talking 6 hours or so?) Does this warrant a full scale search and rescue effort? Especially if he was not alone, nor in distress. Just saying thats a lot of resources put into action possibly unnecessarily

Maybe I am missing critical details. (hopefully) But better safe than sorry I suppose.
