The day after Rupture, world asks: Where is Harold Camping |

New York, May 22 ANI: With Harold Camping's Doomsday prediction found untrue, followers and non-believers alike have turned their attention to the religious leader who started the movement. Camping, the president of Christian broadcasting company Family Radio, was one of the main proponents of the alleged apocalypse - drawing in thousands of followers, many of whom dumped their life savings to be saved, reports the New York Daily News. But with the predicted Doomsday passing without incident, the retired civil engineer, who has built a multi-million-dollar non-profit religious organization, is nowhere to be found. It has been reported that his house in Alameda, CA is covered with shades and the Family Radio headquarters had a sign on its front door saying "The Office is Closed. Sorry we missed you!" It's the second time that Camping has raised the false alarm about the apocalypse. In 1994, he predicted the world would end in September of that year based on his math and dismissed his mistake as a mathematical miscalculation. This year he said, "There is...no possibility that it will not happen." Family Radio spent millions on more than 5,000 billboards and other methods of communication to spread the doomsday message this year - mostly in donations from believers. Believers, like former MTA worker David Fitzpatrick, who had mortgaged their life savings for Camping's predictions, seemed puzzled by the predicament they found themselves in.
