Strrrrangeeeeeeee

How odd.....

The family of an Elad avreich who left his home and did not returned was concerned the entire Shabbos for his well-being. The avreich left home on erev Shabbos at 14:00, heading to the shul to daven mincha. He never returned.

The wife of the avreich, a man in his 30s, informed police that her husband explained when he left he did not feel well. Police on Shabbos updated the appropriate people on the missing avreich, and a command center was set up on motzei Shabbos on Rav Meir Street. Ichud Hatzalah and Hatzalah Gush Dan volunteers became involved in the search. At 20:53 the missing avreich returned home.
Degel Hatorah’s Avi Stern was in touch with police in Elad on Shabbos and he consulted with HaGaon HaRav Shlomo Zalman Grossman, mora d’asra of Elad. The rav ruled that foot searches should get underway on Shabbos afternoon and that search was expanded on motzei Shabbos.
Kikar Shabbos reports that the avreich traveled to Bnei Brak where he sat in a shul and learned the entire Shabbos without leaving to eat, with the avreich explaining “This is the response to Lapid”. [From Yeshiva World News]

A man makes his wife and family [and many others] frantic for an entire Shabbos?
He doesn't eat?
He doesn't call on Motzei Shabbos to say that he is OK?
Is this normal behavior??
Am I missing something??
Is Lapid going to have a worse day because this avreich caused so many people anguish?
I am left scraching my head.....
