Sure, because every parent reports their 20 year old grown son as missing when on any other Saturday they would assume he was at work. But not these parents. Why?

The explanation as I understand it is this:
1. Thomas Crooks frequently went to a local range to shoot.
2. He was granted the day off from his job.
3. His father believed he was going to borrow the rifle to do that.
4. When Thomas did not return home within a reasonable time his parents became worried and contacted the local police.
(This is neither a defense or criticism of Crooks’ parents; as we simply don’t know enough corroborated “facts.” I believe the Crooks are following the advice of legal counsel; which is reasonable as they may have criminal and/or civil liability.)
