"Girlfriend of missing Quincy man staying on ‘hopeful side’; He disappeared after leaving a Bruins game alone last week" by Brian MacQuarrie and Maria Sacchetti, Globe Staff | October 14, 2009
Claire Mahoney’s voice broke with emotion yesterday as she tried to describe the ordeal that has torn apart her life. But tears, not words, told the tale.
Her boyfriend, William Hurley, 24, of Quincy, has been missing since he left a Boston Bruins game alone last Thursday and vanished within minutes. No physical traces of the Navy veteran have surfaced - not on Nashua Street where he last spoke with Mahoney by cellphone, not in the Charles River where police divers continued their search yesterday, and not in the credit card and phone records that detectives are watching for new activity....
Brendan Venti, 24, a co-worker who accompanied Hurley to his first Bruins game, said he could not recall his friend ever being late for work at the Weston Golf Club, where the pair began their day as groundskeepers at 6 a.m.....
Last Thursday night, Venti said, Hurley took the train from Quincy to Venti’s house in Brighton, where Venti, Hurley, and another man took public transportation to the hockey game. “He just had mentioned that he was tired. I myself try and take a nap every day after work, and neither one of us were able to do that,’’ Venti said. “We were kind of crunched for time.’’
On the way to North Station, the men chatted about their girlfriends....
“The whole thing is just a mystery,’’ he said. “It doesn’t make sense he would just up and skip town....’’
He didn't.

"A body found early this morning in the Charles River belongs to a 24-year-old man who went missing last week after leaving a Boston Bruins game at the TD Garden, according to the Suffolk District Attorney's office.
The body of William Hurley was spotted at 2 a.m. and recovered from the river near the Nashua Street Jail, not far from the TD Garden. His death is under investigation....
The moral of the story: Don't ask for a street address in Boston.

I'm not worried; I won't be going there anytime soon, if ever.
