"Please, please release my children safely," Steve Groene, the children's father, pleaded in a televised statement. "They had nothing to do with any of this."
Has Daddy Dearest been cleared of this? Kind of a weird statement to make...like maybe someone took his kids to get back at him due to gambling debts, or some other malfeasance?
I haven't been following this one too closely...
I thought it seemed odd too when I happened to flip on the TV during their brief press remarks. I figure that the father may be referring to something that the police know but haven't released to the public.
Father: "They had nothing to do this."
Analysis: The Father has knowledge of what "this" the reason is.
