so this is your son

Yes- this is my son. Three of the kids and families had been here this weekend, one from SD one from CO and this family recently moved to AR. As I said in an earlier post, Steve and his wife had argued what is now Saturday. They were returning home. All but their oldest son who is married and their daughter in school in NE was with them. That includes three of their own children and four adopted. Which is why they were in two vehicles. They did contact the state patrol and the police, who would not do anything until the 24 hours had gone by. Which will be in about 2 1/2 hours. I really do not know why Steve was out of the vehicle. I do know the daughter did not know, therefore missed him. It is a bit hard to see the wife driving off deliberately, but obviously something took place, and here we are. I did not pay any attention to what they were driving respectively, but I do know when the daughter realized what had happened she returned to the area, not locating her father.

I also know she had no sleep and dozed off at the wheel, and damaged her car when she bactracked. Whatever else did or did not happen, the wife is very upset, the family is very upset. The rest of us are upset. As I posted earlier, Steve is average wt- 6'1", red hair, short trimmed beard, casual clothing. Nothing to particularly make him stand out in a crowd--no scars, no tatoos. No phyical disablilty.

The last time I tried to call they were gone. What I do know is I will be called when this is resolved.

And I appreciate the concern and prayers.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was more to the "argument" part of this than they may want to disclose to his mother too.

Was he "thrown out" of the car? (figuratively, not literally?) If it was done on the open highway and not at some stopping area, my guess is that somebody slammed on the breaks and ordered him out of the car.

Were all of his bags driven on home or were any missing when they arrived?

Sorry if these sound too intrusive. I'm just trying to piece together what happened.
