“Be so good to everyone you love. It’s not a given. I’m so annoyed that it’s not. I didn’t live by that standard and it kills me. Please, hug your loved ones,” Hutchison wrote on Twitter on the afternoon of May 8, 2018. He followed that up with another message that read, “I’m away now. Thanks.” He hasn’t been seen since.
