Update: Anthony is alive. We located him, saw him, and are in communication with him. We are elated and relieved beyond words 🙏♥️🙌

We want to extend the biggest thank you possible to everyone for their thoughts, prayers and actions during this harrowing time. We are touched by the concern expressed for someone that virtually 100% of you do not know. Thank you also for expressing concern for me.

Out of respect for his privacy, we cannot share further details about his situation. In line with this, I have removed my previous social media posts.

Everyone is important, and everyone deserves to be cared about. Please look after one another.

Be well, be safe ♥️
