Because it was odd. He ran out on his son during a great “father-son” event. As pissed as I could be at my wife, I would never do that to one of my boys. Especially an adult son that you may not see every day.
Plus, in all the interviews with the family and friends he attended the game with, nothing about him seemed “off”. He didn’t walk 100 miles. It’s been 2 1/2 days. He had to have slept, ate... Someone had to have seen him or given him a ride.
We don’t yet know HOW they found him. It’s a very odd story.
I understand what you’re saying and I don’t entirely disagree. I’ve been married to the same woman for 45 years and we’ve got 3 sons. Hopefully, I would never be under such emotional duress to do something like that. Stress, and emotional duress, can cause people to do things they would not ordinarily do because they are not thinking straight.
