Flight attendant Steven Slater who quit and slid down the emergency chute now missing in Mexico

Gone Gurl.

Didn’t even last a week.

Trick gone bad.

Can this be cross-referenced to the “Retiring in Central America” thread? How do people just ignore the very real risk of violence in Mexico? Never understood the appeal. There are cheap places to live in the US.

From the bloated, red faced look it should also be cross referenced with a thread about AA. Going out and getting smashed in a third world country is inviting trouble at the very least.

I love this bitch. I hope he’s okay.

Drugs and Tricks

Judging by his uniforms in the two photos, it looks like he went from being a sky waitress to being a ground waitress. Downgrade!

Who cares about this old queen?

I thought everyone had learned from my anguish when Jack was abducted so senselessly.

Was it the Secret Lesbians of Mexico?

He was my hero.

That gurl is doa !

Aw...I hope he turns up safe and sound. He was the epitome of a DLer.

Aw...I hope he turns up safe and sound. He was the epitome of a DLer.

Didn’t think he’s into pinga.

r16 = Hellen Keller

One should never mix Spanish Fly and poppers. Especially in Tijuana.

R5 What “bloated and red faced look”? He’s a pink-faced ginger, that’s their normal coloring.

I hope he’s okay.

[quote]But he was reported missing on Tuesday in Tijuana, according to the Chula Vista Police Department in California, as per TMZ.

[quote]His friends pleaded with the public days prior seeking help in locating him, saying they haven’t been able to get in touch with Slater since Sunday.

They're reporting him missing 48 hours after speaking with him? Maybe he's just not into you anymore? He's met some new amigos and has moved on. Did ya ever think of that?

Tijuana bender. He might just be sleeping off a two-day hangover.

Aww, I love that feisty betch. I hope he’s okay.

“...quit and slid down the emergency chute”

Hmmm. He may have had the wrong person slide *up* his poop chute.

R21 - agreed. He must have been on some shit when he pulled that stunt 10 years ago. He fell off the wagon and is PnP'ing around Tijuana.

He's a mess.

[quote]He must have been on some shit when he pulled that stunt 10 years ago.

I thought he was diagnosed with dementia.

Turn on an overhead light and he'll come running.

R4 Tijuana is an incredibly dangerous city, has been for past 2 decades.

Retiring to Tijuana is akin to moving to the south side of Chicago.

You cannot compare Tijuana to Puerto Vallarta or a nice town full of expats in Costa Rica.

Who moves to Tijuana??

Hope she turns up safe and sound.

MARY-ahchee!

LOL R26!

Many are people are saying that he didn't tip at Melania's donkey show.

People who are psychologically stable don't commit criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, and trespass when quitting their jobs, as he did. Nor do they move to one of the most dangerous cities in the world. He is/was clearly unwell.

[quote]What “bloated and red faced look”? He’s a pink-faced ginger, that’s their normal coloring.

You can't be really be that naive.

Did he ever find a job after he quit his job as a flight attendant?

R35 In OP’s pic it looks like he’s working as a server.

He really reminds me of the late Stephen Stucker from the AIRPLANE movies.

He joined the touring company of Come From Away.

This will end in tears.

God, I hope he didn't run into a coven of witches like that college boy did decades ago.

Witch coven/Drug cartel? That's wild.

That Mark Kilroy story at R40 is horrific.

We can only hope the same thing happens to YourMillennialFriend, when xhe visits Mexico in three weeks!

Publicity stunt? To refresh his relevance maybe?

R40 Damn, that has to be one of the most gruesome stories I ever read. The poor guy had his whole life ahead of him at 21 and he died a horrifying death.

Poor kid!

Slater may still be alive. Perhaps he will pop down an AeroMexico plane chute somewhere.

The voodoo cult leader who killed the Texas twink:

R46, let’s hope

Best luck and wishes to this old queen.

Who in their right mind would move to Tijuana? The crime rate there is astronomical and most of it is a horrible hell hole.

As we sniffed a fragrant offering of sulfur poo from a scorching hot number this evening, we knew Satan had captured a sister.

Sulfur is Satan's calling card.

We shall say a novena tomorrow at the only Church, one that features the Blessed Virgin, but is not, alas, in Latin.

We must caution that we find Satan, secretly, a very, very hot number.

Erna = fascist shit-eating cunt.

Anyone that goes to Tijuana willingly is looking for trouble.

Or uncut pinga.

Who the fuck would want to retire to a country that people risk their lives to get the hell out of. And Tijuana no less?🤦🏻‍♂️

I remember that story. Up until his murder college kids would go to Matamoras from Padre Island during Spring Break. It’s separated by a bridge. After that, few Americans go to Maramoras. I remember going as a kid back in the early 70’s. Still safe. Now it’s cartel territory.

Yeah - that killing was the end of fun times in Matamoras for kids. Still went for dinner at Garcia’s and maybe a cheap dentist. And then starting in about 2011, the cartel violence made it too dangerous. Sad - because the ones who suffer are the legitimate small businesses on the Mexican side of the border. Now cartels run Matamoras and no one goes across. What most people don’t understand though is the US cities on the border are some of the safest in America - even though right across the Rio Grande are some of the most violent cities in the world. Crazy.

It makes me wonder if the voodoo witch involved in Mark’s death is still in prison.

straight from Wikipedia:

[quote](Sara) Aldrete was convicted of criminal association in 1990 and jailed for six years. In a second trial, she was convicted of several of the killings at the cult's headquarters, and sentenced to 30 years in prison. If Aldrete is ever released from prison, American authorities plan to prosecute her for the murder of Mark Kilroy.

R28 American gingers looking to spice things up

I don’t see a lot of people retiring in Tijuana. But there’s a sizable community about an hour or so south in Ensenada. He may not be aware (or care) people are interested in his whereabouts.

Think this might be a lesson for those who want to just “walk away from it all”. Not so black and white. Suffering through a miserable job is sometimes necessary.

R45 Holy Fuck, agree, that has to be one of the most gruesome and horrific stories. I can only imagine the absolute hell that kid went through the last hours of his life.

Agreed R62 walking away from a miserable job doesn't mean you won't end up in another miserable job. If that job pays well it might be worth it to stay but not forever.

Maybe he's just trying to keep his Google searches up?

Still no sign of this guy...not looking good.

He is lost in Third world verga I think.

Tijuana has a lovely climate, just like San Diego.

He didn’t actually retired yet right? From the articles, it said he’s still working. What’s he’s job?

Maybe she has gone underground.

I'm worried that he picked up some rough trade and it didn't end well. He seemed rather...impulsive.

Comedian Kevin Barnett kicked in in Tijuana in January. Seems like a death trap.

[quote]If Aldrete is ever released from prison, American authorities plan to prosecute her for the murder of Mark Kilroy.

Isn't there a statute of limitations?

3, 2, 1.......

[quote]He didn’t actually retired yet right? From the articles, it said he’s still working. What’s he’s job?

Oh, dear?

He’s incognito working as a conductor on the Tijuana Trolley.

[quote] Isn't there a statute of limitations?

Not on murder or any similar crime considered heinous.

No update huh?

Where is she ? Where was she ? Where did she want to be ?

This is a real mystery. Get Dateline on this story.

This reminds me of the missing Mouseketeer, and that did not end on a good note.

[quote]Where is she ? Where was she ? Where did she want to be ?

Just a wild guess, but I’m thinking somewhere they know there’s no space before a punctuation mark.

It also reminds me of the mysterious death of Charles Levin, is there a serial killer taking out eldergays?

Trolley Dolly on molly

Nothing, absolutely nothing crazier than a flight attendant.

I think he got whacked when his chute failed to open.

[quote]He didn’t actually retired yet right? From the articles, it said he’s still working. What’s he’s job?

From OP’s pic it looks like he is (or was) working as a server.

Tijuana is pretty safe. Not sure what could’ve gone wrong.

Ginger bastard

[quote] I think he got whacked when his chute failed to open.

As if that queen's chute EVER failed to open.

Still missing?

Should we take up a collection for the search team?

Well, fuck, this has gone on too long. I guess he must be taco meat at this point. I was really hoping he'd turn up.

Don't mess with them Papi's- you'll end-up decapitated in a shallow grave.

[quote]Turn on an overhead light and he'll come running.

Not my section.

Buh bye, so long.

I wouldn't be eating any cheap street food in Tiajuana this week.

Saw a flurry of activity and thought there was news, but nothing!

Did he take the evacuation slide from this mortal coil?

Someone was angry about never getting that beverage refill.

She smelled cookies and just couldn’t resist.

every time this thread pops up on the watcher I'm afraid it's bad news, and it makes me a little sad

Why is this popping up repeatedly - when there is no new news? None of the comments are that witty or funny at this point,

R103 Because people like you keep commenting to complain that people keep commenting causing it to pop up, genius.

Who moves to Tijuana?

I did.

r5 is the reason everyone hates people in AA. Stop projecting! You're an egomaniac. Get a real therapist and see a substance abuse counselor instead of relying on other mentally ill people and the power of prayer to deal with your medical issues, you fucking moron.

Doesn't Meghan Markle's father live in Tijuana?

R108 Rosarito. Not nearly as bad as TJ, but still a dump.

People don't disappear in Mexico

Yeah he seems impulsive and short tempered. Still hoping for happy ending.

websleuths will find him

[quote]Hello everyone. I am one of Stephen Slater's personal friends from the aviation industry.

[quote]He was working at Seaworld and Chipotle, and had recently -- meaning last week -- moved to San Ysidro just over the border to cut down on costs as San Diego and all of coastal California are very expensive.

[quote]Stephen was not driving to the US but was using Ubers and the San Diego trolly to get to work recently. He had lamented after the shootings in El Paso that his driver didn't understand what was wrong with Americans and their tolerance for mass shootings

[quote]on Sunday night he was returning from work and left as his Facebook status a picture of the border crossing, a picture he took because of how busy it was.

[quote]Stephen has struggled so much in his life, especially with addiction. It was normal for him to go missing for days at a time on a bender, but at least one person knew where he was

[quote]His phone was ringing through Monday and Tuesday at least, and with an international ring tone, indicating his phone at least had not slipped back into the US since then

details at link below

Frausleuths are not welcome here.

I don't think there is any way for this to have a happy ending. It's not like he had the money to just disappear voluntarily. Hope there will at least be some closure.

The datalounge detective agency will find him!

Olly olly oxen free! Come out from where ever you are Steven!

Maybe a vigorous pounding caused internal bleeding from which she never recovered ☹️

r113 While I am usually a no Frauen wanted here type, when it comes to this sort of thing, they are helpful. They did the lards work digging up the dirt on Chris Watts. You just have to shake an Almond Roca can and they will come running. It's like the Bat signal, only for Frauen.

*shakes Almond Roca can* Have at it ladies, find our missing lamb!

R114 you mean that his body is found instead of remaining a cold case?

The lard’s work sounds delicious.

Maybe there is a serial killer knocking off former sky waitresses, have any more of them gone missing? Or perhaps I might be too consumed in viewing Midhunter?

Detective La Toya is on the case!

[quote]you mean that his body is found instead of remaining a cold case?

Yes, for the sake of his friends and family. And all of us nosy bitches, of course.

I blame Carmen San Diego for putting ideas into his mind.

Where are Sean Penn and Kate del Castillo when you need them.

Steven was desperate for work but something went terribly wrong.

7677

[quote]From OP’s pic it looks like he is (or was) working as a server.

Nothing gets past you, does it sweetie?

You should never mix Viagra and Poppers. Especially in Tijuana.

[quote]Nothing gets past you, does it sweetie?

Well apparently it “got past” the person who asked the question, asshole.

This should be a made for LOGO TV Movie Of The Week. Starring Ian Ziering.

LOL!

[quote]This should be a made for LOGO TV Movie Of The Week

It probably will in a few years, doesn't matter if they find him or not.

Why would anyone kill him? I bet he got drunk and fell into the ocean.

I'm starting to get worried.

This isn't going to end well, is it?

She is Fabulous!

(Perhaps she married a Mexican and has settled down as a TJ housewife)

Nope

Is no one searching for this national treasure?

I'm confused by that reddit post. So he was living in San Ysidro California and commuting into Mexico for work?

R140 I took it he was living in Mexico because it was cheaper than SD and working at Sea World and Chipotle and taking Uber back and forth. Has anyone looked into his last Uber driver as a suspect?

Who can afford to take an Uber to their job at Chipotle.

Apparently, he could.

This will end in tears.

[quote] From OP’s pic it looks like he is (or was) working as a server.

No different than when she was a sky waitress.

Esto terminará en lágrimas.

La perra gorda está muerta.

What do the websleuth fraus say?

Dear Websleauth Fraus, he was found over a week ago and is fine.

Or as "fine" as Stephen Slater can be I should say.

It was exposed as a hoax almost immediately. The media dropped the story like a hot potato as soon as they caught on they were being played. This psycho attention whore doesn't need to be indulged or encouraged.

[quote]By 9 PM the same day Facebook friend, Jason Lopez, posted on Slater’s page that the Ex-pat was at home in Tijuana and did not wish to be disturbed. Once again it appears, Steven Slater has grabbed headlines, coincidentally on the ninth anniversary of his August 9, 2010 “I quit” stunt.

Really R149 - did they say what happened. Meth binge?

Maybe the Jason Lopez guy killed him. Tortured his FB password out of him first. Killed him and then posted an "all good, nothing to see here" message to throw off the attention. I like that better than thinking this was a ploy for attention.

Seriously, what a fucking asshole to wind people up like that. The assholes at TMZ could have at least posted an update. Everyone involved in this non story is an asshole, especially me for getting fucking sucked into caring if he was taco meat. But hey, maybe he is. I'll hold on to that happy thought.

Oh, I know, R152. At the very least it would have been nice to hear he was being held and kept as a pass-around pig-bottom for the drug cartels.

So, this was all a mockery? A sham? No crimes were committed at all? What a load of fun!

[quote] It was exposed as a hoax almost immediately.

La perra gorda es una mentirosa.

Steven will now be passing around the aircraft with free pretzels.

Is his friend from Seaworld - Tony Tilapia - a real person?

[quote]a pass-around pig-bottom for the drug cartels.

This has me giggling for some reason.

Crying Wolf is a dangerous game to indulge in, especially for someone his age and station...

I, for one, is happy he is safe and alive.

r161 ....or is he?

He hasn't wanted to be disturbed since August 8th? That's three weeks ago tomorrow.

Has he worked again at SeaWorld? Has anyone except "Facebook friend" Jason Lopez spoken to him?

That doesn't sound like "I want to be alone." It sounds like he's taking the dirt nap.

I think Ghislaine Maxwell took him hostage and is using him as leverage, but no one's offered as much as a nickel for him. They might even be paying her to keep him.

Safe but not sound.

I‘d like to think that he’s reading this.

I wonder if he's depressed about his current circumstances, I know he hated his job as a flying waitress but it probably paid better than his current job(s).

R167 Then his current, er, most recent job must suck. Got any idea what they pay FA's?

Starting pay of about $17 an hour. Median is about $25/hr. $39k a year on average. So an average salary of about $3200 - $3300 a month gross (before taxes and deductions) and with Jet Blue's FA bases in expensive cities: NYC, Boston, Long Beach, CA, Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando. And the airline can't have been that great to work for: the FA's voted 2 to 1 to unionize in 2017, long after Steven's last ride on Jet Blue.

Not that Sea World pays that great either, I guess.

He started a GoFundMe

Probably landed on a big Mexican dick and has never looked back.

[quote]Stephen was not driving to the US but was using...the San Diego trolly to get to work recently.

Yes, but the important question is did it “CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!”?

lol 171

The most puzzling quote from the Kilroy story:

[quote] Kilroy's mother said she received a cross from a Brownsville woman when she was searching for her son in 1989. "It's a reminder every time that I know that the Lord was involved in everything", she said, while she touched and showed the cross around her neck.

She thinks God wanted her son tortured, sodomized, and boiled??

Sorry, but what’s the summary? He’s still lost?

Maybe he was a discipline problem growing up?

Ya know, wet the bed and the like.

[quote]He’s still lost?

Oh, honey, he’s BEEN lost since his beer swilling chute sliding JetBlue days.

Thank you, R177, but I mean physically lost.

R176 What the hell, discipline problem children and bed wetting have nothing to do with each other!

R176 forgot to sign their post "Mrs. Patsy Ramsey."

Are his loved ones concerned, or is this just a fun parlor game?

r175

It was a hoax

We will only know the true story when the Lifetime TV movie of the week comes out.

She was never going to amount to much.

R182 Is that so? Have followed the story and seen nothing that suggests he's surfaced...

Can you point us toward confirmation that he's OK?

r185

it was on his facebook.

Link, R186. You sound like you're just trolling, to be honest.

R185 It was all over his personal Facebook

How do you know it was he posting on his facebook? The password may have been tortured out of him before he was fed to the fire ants.

Who the fuck moves to Tijuana?

R190, maybe a frequent visitor decides he wants the less expensive living? He’d be familiar with it, and feel comfortable with it, and feel safe there.

I hope the FAT QUEEN GETS EATEN BY CANNIBALS .

What loser even bothers to troll with "it was on Facebook"? Pitiful.

If he was seriously missing, the media would be reporting it. Instead, they've been almost conspicuously silent, probably because they either know they were punked or that it was nothing more than a bender.

The NY Post reported on it and from there several gay media outlets reported it, but nothing since then.

And some of us aren't on Facebook so can't verify that very vague claim (even if it were true)
