So...friedcat's dead?
Unlikely.
Rockxie's statements seemed to indicate that it was not completely unexpected that friedcat would "disappear" (run away).
The other rumors (that even his wife is looking for him, etc...) are just that: rumors.
Huh, what do you mean? Where did Rockxie suggest that it was likely that FC was running away? I don't seem to recall that statement...
I didn't say that Rockxie said that it was likely that FC was running away.
However, in one of the last statements he (rockxie) made, he said he didn't know the reason why friedcat disappeared, but that it might be 60% professional, 40% personal. To me, this sounds like there were big problems lingering for a long time, and FC finally snapped.
That's not much to go on, admittedly, but we have absolutely no reason to believe he was kidnapped. Him being in prison or even executed is even less likely.
