Lee is also well-known in Oxford’s LGBTQ community – his disappearance has rattled them, too. “For me personally, it’s difficult to wrestle with someone so big going missing.
“When Jay walked in a room, you knew it,” Gallagher said. Police have not released any major updates in the 13 days since Lee disappeared except to brief the public on the investigation.

On Wednesday night, the rally drew about 150 people to the Circle, a historic district at the heart of UM’s campus, to blow bubbles and hold colorful signs as a way “to illuminate Jay’s way home.” The university initially said no but relented after Gallagher and her classmates got professors involved. “Jay would do the same for any of us,” Gallagher said.
