I now believe that Dr. Lachlan M.D. Cranswick walked away from his life.
I believe that his career had become utterly irrevokably repugnant to him; NOT science, itself, but the career and how it entails rigid adherance to the rules & protocols of the Famous.Renown.Well.Published.Child.Prodigy.Genius.Brilliant.Scientist Monopoly Board Game -- the one with the rule, "Publish or Die," the vile idiotic game with the insipid clockwork CHANCE cards, "You skipped the 19356th meeting - GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL, do *not* pass go, do not collect 2 million $$$$$$$, Loser."
Dr. Cranswick is certainly brilliant enough to manufacture a new identitiy and to do science on his own, and to have meticulously planned each & every single detail of his Great Escape. Perfect timing, to split when the reactor was down for repairs, so coworkers had no idea he was GONE-GONE, not merely using up acrued vacation time.
I do not believe that Dr. Cranswick will be located, unless he so chooses to be found. I wish him well, and hope he finds some fulfilling work, not just being a bartender/dishwasher, but perhaps tutoring children or working in the lawfirms of those attorneys who will prosecute the Global Warming Hoaxers & Liars who have cast such a deep black cloud of fraudulent corruption over the entire enterprise of science as a whole.
Hopefully, some time in the future he will ring up the George Noory Coast to Coast AM overnight talk show, and identify himself, speak briefly, and let all the people whom he left far behind him know that he is alive, well, safe, etc.
Hmmmm.... I wonder where he parked the vehicle he left in, and I wonder where he purchased it, and if he used ca$h????
Rupert Cranswick spoke to some of his brother's colleagues when he went to Canada for a couple of weeks and says it is surprising that they did not report him missing sooner.
"It's a large organisation. I'd say I met 20 research scientists," he said.
"I know that the reactor wasn't working, that it had a leak awhile back and they were fixing it, but Lachlan was still going to work and doing his research and preparing conferences and scientific papers.
"I find it very strange that none of them would have said, 'where's Lachlan', because he would always email if he wasn't coming in......."
Maybe.
