It’s a very odd story. I heard the son on Fox and friends this morning and the whole thing just sounds off. I heard it in the car on Sirius radio so I didn’t see the guy
My friends say I watch too many crime shows on tv, so I have a fantasy view of law enforcement and police procedure. But it seems to me that the police would find a way to locate the father in hospitals or shelters and this statement that they can't get records because of privacy issues is bogus. That they aren't really trying makes me think there are holes in the family's story and the police are suspicious. The police might say they don't think this disappearance isn't suspicious, but that may be because they don't want to tip off the perpetrator. He just might decide to take off.
