Charlie Carver’s Facebook page tells the story of a man in love. 
 
 On July 1, Carver posted that he and his girlfriend were expecting a daughter. On Aug. 1 they bought a house, and on Sept. 1 they were married. 
 
 That’s what horrifies Carver’s friends and family. All the happy new milestones on his timeline were logged retroactively on Oct. 1, more than a month after he and his girlfriend Kala Brown disappeared. 
 
 Carver, 32, and Brown, 30, went missing from their Anderson, South Carolina, apartment on Aug. 31. Carver’s car vanished. Their cellphones went dead. Even their beloved Pomeranian dog was left to pace the home without food or water. But someone was still posting to Facebook under Carver’s name, sending messages to his friends and writing an ominous new history of the couple’s life. 
 
 “I wish I could tell them to stop,” Carver’s younger sister Katie told The Daily Beast of the Facebook posts, her voice breaking. “If they know where he is, bring him home.” 
 
 Last week someone posing as Carver uploaded and deleted an old picture of the couple, Brown’s best friend Lindsey Mayson told The Daily Beast. 
 
 The caption said “‘we are fine,’” Mayson said, “which is not him. His Facebook posts have been hacked. It’s not him posting.” 
 
 The most recent entry still visible on Carver’s page is from Oct. 2, over a month after he and Brown disappeared. “What color ribbon supports the people who can’t keep their nose out of other people’s business?” the post asks. 
 
 It’s not like the couple to disappear like this, people close to them said. Carver and Brown seldom go a day without speaking to family or friends. So after a few days of silence from her son, Carver’s mother asked the building manager at couple’s apartment complex to check on them. The manager found their door unlocked and the apartment uninhabited, Brown’s mother told a local Fox affiliate. 
 
 If Carver and Brown had gone on an unannounced vacation, they’d left their essentials behind. Kala’s glasses and contact lenses were still in the apartment, as were the couple’s medications. Kala’s dog, Romeo, had been left inside alone, his crate mysteriously missing. 
 
 “That dog is her baby,” Kala’s mother told NBC News. “She’d never leave him like that.” 
 
 Carver and Brown were last heard from on Aug. 31, when Brown texted a few friends, and surveillance footage showed Carver leaving work.The previous night, Brown had called her friend Mayson to make dinner plans for Thursday.

 “That was about 6:45 that night,” Mayson said. They’d planned to get dinner with Carver, whom Mayson had never met. “That’s what that Thursday night was supposed to be about. It was meeting them and having dinner with them and getting to know each other.” 
 
 Brown had spent August newly in love and newly uneasy. She and Carver had just moved in together after a few months of dating. But Brown grew worried as the month drew on. She felt she was being stalked, she confided in Mayson. Carver was in the middle of a divorce—and Brown saw his ex everywhere. (The Daily Beast is not naming Carver’s ex because she has not been identified as a suspect or person of interest.) 
 
 “Followed, sitting outside the apartment complex watching. All kinds of really crazy scary stuff,” Mayson said of the ex’s alleged behavior. “[Brown] made a comment at one time that she didn’t feel comfortable at all; that she was scared.” 
 
 Police said they haven’t identified any suspects, and that as of Wednesday, they had no new leads. 
 
 “There’s no new evidence to point any new direction,” Lt. David Creamer of the Anderson Police Department told The Daily Beast. “There’s no new leads, but we’re looking at every angle.” 
 
 Creamer added that, to his knowledge, the department had not taken action to search for the IP address of the person using Carver’s account. 
 
 “To do anything like that, we’d have to issue a search warrant to Facebook,” he said. “I don’t know if we’ve done that but I’m pretty sure we have not done that… You’d have to serve [Facebook] with a search warrant to search their records for an IP.” 
 
 Reached by email on Wednesday, a Facebook spokesperson responded in under 90 minutes, referring The Daily Beast to Facebook's policies for law enforcement. If served with a search warrant or a subpoena in connection to a criminal investigation, Facebook will turn over user information including "recent login/logout IP addresses ... and location information." 
 
 “They said they’re hoping to tell us something soon, but they’ve been saying that for a couple weeks,” Carver’s sister Katie said. 
 
 While the search stretches into its second month, police are encouraging locals to look out for Carver’s missing car, a 2002 white Pontiac Grand Prix with South Carolina plates and an LSU decal on the back window. The couple’s family and friends have spent weeks distributing “missing” fliers and trying to raise funds to hire a private investigator. 
 
 The person using Carver’s Facebook account is also sharing the missing persons reports. 
 
 Since Carver went missing, his Facebook has shared dozens of posts about the missing couple, including pleas for prayers from Carver’s sister Katie. The missing persons posters, uploaded in the missing man’s name, are sandwiched between sinister memes. 
 
 “Sometimes late at night I dig a hole in the backyard to keep the nosey neighbor’s guessing,” reads one macro image shared by Carver’s account on Sept. 24. 
 
 “End gun violence now! Bring back the sword,” reads another image from earlier that day. 
 
 A post from Oct. 1 shares the final lines of The Eagles’ song “Hotel California”: 
 
 “Last thing I remember, I was running for the door. I had to find the passage back to the place I was before. ‘Relax,’ said the nightman. ‘We are programmed to receive. You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave.’” 
 
 The person using Carver’s account isn’t just posting statuses. They’re messaging his friends. 
 
 “im just missing to everyone else,” Carver’s account told one friend in a series of September messages shared with The Daily Beast. “We [are] both ok. there is only one person that knows where we are … the person that means the most to me and kala she know where we are and we are coming that way for ever.” 
 
 The person declines the friend’s pleas to video chat. But elsewhere, the person claiming to be Carver appears to break character. 
 
 On Sept. 26, the person using Carver’s account confronted one of the friends commenting on Carver’s new Facebook posts. 
 
 “Well i would keep my nose clean and out off it. And how do you know my hubby?” the person wrote. Friends began speculating that Carver’s estranged wife had hacked his Facebook, or that someone was trying to frame her. 
 
 Still in Carver’s voice, the person defended Carver’s wife. “She didnt hack my page she has the password to my facebook,” the person wrote. 
 
 While Carver’s Facebook continues to post in his absence, the couple’s loved ones remember the real people they hope will come home. 
 
 “My brother was a really good guy, is a really good guy,” Katie said. “He’s an aspiring writer. We were actually working on a graphic novel together.” 
 
 Carver had recently been promoted at the paper company where he worked, and loved his job. He is a comic book lover, especially of the Marvel comics, an interest he’d shared with Katie since childhood. 
 
 “The last time I heard from him was the Sunday before he disappeared,” Katie said. “He’d sent me some stupid meme because we were always going back and forth just kidding with each other. I didn’t have time to respond immediately, so the last thing I said to him was ‘wow.’” 
 
 Brown is an animal lover, and a steadfast friend, those close to her said. “She was a really nice person, really upbeat and outgoing. They just worked together really well,” Katie said. 
 
 “She’s one of those friends who would always be there,” Mayson said. “No matter what. You need her, she’s there.” 
 
 Now the couple’s friends are searching for clues the best way they can: by messaging the person who claims to be Carver. 
 
 “Who is this?” Carver’s friend Katrina Mega messaged the account in September, adding “You can post comments but you can’t respond to me[?]” 
 
 “I was reading something,” came the cryptic response from Carver’s account. 
 
 “Where are you,” Mega asked. “Are you OK is this even really you” 
 
 “Yes im fine,” the person on Carver’s side wrote. 
 
 Mega repeated the question. 
 
 “Is this really you?” 
 
 No one answered. ||||| Kala Brown (left) and Charlie Carver (right) Finding Kala and Charlie Facebook Page 
 
 Bobbie Newsom and Joanne Shiflet never thought they’d be in this situation: having to spend the weekend packing up their children’s apartment and put their belongings in storage. 
 
 Bobbie’s daughter Kala and Joanne’s son Charlie have been missing for more than a month. 
 
 “You would never imagine this empty feeling,” Joanne Shiflet, Charlie’s mother, told Dateline. “It’s so much worse than you can think, not knowing.” 
 
 “It’s like you have a hot skillet, and they are two drops of water you put on it. They just disappear,” Kala’s mother Bobbie told Dateline. “It’s not that they just haven’t talked to their moms, no one has heard from them.” 
 
 It’s unclear exactly when Kala and Charlie disappeared. 
 
 A close friend of Kala’s reportedly had dinner with her the night of August 29 at the couple’s apartment outside Anderson, South Carolina. The following day, several friends received texts back from her. But the responses stopped coming on August 31. Her phone has since either been turned off or died. 
 
 The last images of Charlie are surveillance video from his workplace showing him leaving on August 31. His phone has also since been turned off or died. 
 
 After no word from her son in several days, Charlie’s mother, who said they don’t go a day without some type of communication, called the manager of the complex where the couple’s apartment was to see if she could check on them. The manager knocked, but there was no answer. So she went inside. 
 
 It appeared no one had been there for some time, according to Joanne. 
 
 Even more troubling was what she did find. Romeo, Kala’s Pomeranian dog, had been left without any food or water. “That dog is her baby. She’d never leave him like that,” Kala’s mother Bobbie told Dateline. 
 
 Family members say some medication had also been left behind, along with Kala’s glasses and contact lenses. Kala’s vehicle was in the parking lot, but Charlie’s white 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with license plate HWY224 was gone. The vehicle remains missing. 
 
 Detectives with the Anderson Police Department are investigating, but there are few clues off of which to work. "We tracked down the leads we had, but there isn’t very much,” Lt. Mike Aikens told Dateline. “We just want to make sure they are OK, because it has been some time.” 
 
 Foul play has not been ruled in or out in the case, according to police. 
 
 Kala and Charlie had been dating for several months and moved in together this past summer. Charlie was in the midst of a divorce from his wife. 
 
 Fliers have been distributed all around Anderson. Several Facebook groups have been created to spread their photos online. But while it’s aiding in the search, social media is now causing additional concern in the case. 
 
 Several postings made on Charlie’s Facebook page state the couple is fine and simply left. The postings are from after the couple was reported missing. 
 
 But both Charlie and Kala’s families insist his account must have been hacked. They say photos the person is uploading, and claiming are recent, were actually posted more than a year ago. The wording, Joanne added, doesn’t sound anything like her son. 
 
 “It’s getting people thinking they are found, but they are not,” Joanne said. 
 
 No matter the circumstances, family members just want to be sure the two are safe. Both Kala’s mother and Charlie’s mother said there is a reason why the couple has vanished, and they want them home. 
 
 “There are so many people who are worried about them and love them,” Kala’s mother, Bobbie, said. “Whatever the problem, we’ll figure it out. No one here will judge them. We love them.” 
 
 Kala Brown is described as 5’8” tall, weighing 135 lbs. with reddish-brown hair and green eyes. Charlie Carver is described as 5’11” tall, weighing roughly 180 lbs. with brown hair and blue eyes. 
 
 Anyone with information regarding their whereabouts is urged to call the Anderson Police Department at (864) 260-4444.
– Seemingly innocent posts on the Facebook page of South Carolina man Charlie Carver are in fact deeply disturbing, friends and family say. Carver and girlfriend Kala Brown disappeared on Aug. 31, and loved ones say the posts that have appeared on the account this month were clearly written by somebody else, the Daily Beast reports. A post a week after the disappearance said they were "fine," and Carver's history was retroactively edited Oct. 1 to include life events that never happened, including an announcement of Brown's pregnancy, their marriage, and the purchase of a house. When the couple disappeared, they left behind medication and even their Pomeranian dog, NBC News reports. Carver, who started dating Brown earlier this year, was in the middle of divorcing another woman. Brown's best friend tells the Daily Beast that her friend had complained about Carver's estranged wife stalking her and doing "all kinds of really crazy scary stuff." Police say they're investigating the disappearance, but they have not identified any suspects or subpoenaed Facebook to discover the source of the Carver posts—which, chillingly, have included posters issued in the search for the missing couple. (A creepy video turned out to be a dead end in the search for a missing Wisconsin teen.)
