Gravity Falls' own man of mystery Stan Pines has been reported missing. Locals say the Mystery Shack, run by Mr. Pines, has not been open for nearly two weeks. He has not been seen in town during this time.
"He just seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. It's impossible!"
He was last seen wearing a black suit and white dress shirt with a dark red bowtie, a fez about the same color decorated with a yellow crescent shape, and black thick-rimmed glasses. Immediate family of Mr. Pines has been contacted, and is quickly becoming concerned.
"Stan wouldn't just desert his business. He imagined tourists as wallets with legs. They're searching the Shack for any clues and nothing's come up yet but…we're trying not to assume the worst."
"Besides, Stan's tough! He can handle himself just fine. Yeah, sure he can…"
Anyone with information should contact the Gravity Falls police department immediately.

Stanford Pines has vanished without a trace.
"We're here with former child star Gideon Gleeful, business rival of Pines. How are you feeling about all of this, Mr. Gleeful?"
"Well, it's been nearly four weeks now. The rivalry game sure isn't any fun with only one player. I'll tell you one thing though, the town sure has been…quieter without the old man around."
There's been no sign of activity in or around the Mystery Shack since early July, almost a month ago. Obviously the longer he's missing, the more concerned both his family and Police are becoming.

Police are continuing to search for resident Stan Pines after being reported missing over six weeks ago. Local grocery store employee Jimmy Toss reported having spoken to Mr. Pines the last day he was seen in town.
"He looked like he was in a big rush to get his groceries. Maybe even a little stressed. He didn't want to play 'toss me a dozen eggs' like we always do, and the last time that happened was only because he had no hands. I'm worried about him."
Police have been searching far and wide, but so far there has been no sign of him. No evidence of foul play has been suspected, nor sign of a struggle. However, investigators were able to identify multiple bottles of prescription heart medication. Mr. Pines' family was unaware of the health problem, and it has been determined by healthcare professionals that without the medication chances of survival are very slim. If anyone has seen or heard from Mr. Pines, please contact local police.

The investigation concerning Stanford Pines has officially been held. Police are drawing back until any further leads are revealed, but in the meantime, the case will remain open.

Local businessman Stan Pines, owner of famous tourist trap 'The Mystery Shack' has been presumed dead by detectives of the GFPD. At this point, after almost several weeks, healthcare professionals say it is extremely unlikely that Stan will have survived without the necessary medication and medical treatment for his condition. The search following today will be one of body recovery. Our sympathy goes out to the entire Pines family for the loss, and to all the citizens of our small town who found Stanford to be not just a cunning businessman, but an overall charming man to whom we could all, in some way, relate to. A memorial will be held on September twelfth at City Hall for those who wish to say their last goodbyes and send their final prayers to our departed Man of Mystery.
