Well that's alarming: I googled Adam's name and found an obituary. I have no idea if it's him -- I didn't know him well enough to know if the details match up. But this person passed away the day after Adam last logged on here, and two days after Bugaboo's last login here, so from the timing it seems possible:
https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/rgj/obituary.aspx?n=adam-nielson-huckaby&pid=164798462

Wow. That is a shocking discovery. Only 30 years old. I wonder what happened.

Adam described himself several times as a Physician's Assistant. (As here: https://webpbn.com/read.cgi?type=P&id=2493&what=all&start=1 )
That doesn't really fit with the schooling of A.N. Huckaby in the obituary. But then, not everyone on the internet is who they say they are.

I do too. The obituary and people's comments on the obituary's comments page all carefully don't say.

Jan was always trying to figure Adam out. Jan thought that Adam was probably young. Though Adam's first puzzle was posted in 2008, which would have made him 25 at the time, which is about ten years older than what Jan had guessed.

Of course, this Adam might not be the same person. But from the timing I wonder.

(Joe's comment was posted while I was typing. I was replying to Teresa.)

As I recall at the time, there were quite a few people who "left" webpbn at the same time. How many persona had Adam taken on? Does anyone know?

I never believed he was a medical professional. More than likely he was the graphic artist, judging by the quality of his puzzles. I think he was immature rather than young. He seemed to thrive on the drama here, and thought it was really out of character for him to leave without a trace like that. RIP monkeyboy.

And whatever happened to Jane Doe? I couldn't figure out whether that was his girlfriend/wife, or merely a female persona of Adam's.

I think they shared an IP address, if I remember correctly. Could be his sister or a co-worker, if he was using a computer at work. She had a baby boy, and his girlfriend had a baby girl.

If you're talking about telly, she last logged on in Nov 2018. There are three other Jane Does, two of which have logged in after 2013, and one whose last login was Oct 2012.
Of them all, telly is the only one who solved more than two puzzles.
