David Paulides has a series of books called Missing 411, he's on Coast to Coast AM all the time. One recurring theme is that people go missing in national parks and its nearly impossible to get information about the cases from the feds. Also, people search areas and find nothing only to have a body appear later in an area that was thoroughly searched. Bodies of water are often where they find the bodies.

I tend to think that since the father immediately sought help when his son ran off we can dismiss the Susan Smith theory.

My heart goes out to a parent who loses a child. respect and sympathy to the relatives.....

I called it from the start because a . yes kids do run off but you as an adult should be able to catch them and tell them why it is not a good idea to run off . I don't buy his story . He said he could not run after him because of neuropathy . I have seen plenty of people with diabetes and suffer and never once could they not run after their kids . end of story ., I hope he fries if he is involved .

Every time I see you post, Cochristi, about this stuff, I find myself nodding along the whole time.

My autistic son was a constant runner before he was ten. I could barely catch him. My fit brother-in-law could barely catch him the one time I let him take my son 20 feet away at the zoo (I TOLD my bro-in-law that he had to hold his hand tightly the entire time, no exceptions. He didn't. He learned quickly. So did I.) He's 20, still holds my hand most places, but I THINK he's outgrown the running thing. I'm not sure. I can never be sure, so I don't let up on constant vigilance.

I can see the kid 'disappearing' if he went off the path and into brush or thick tree cover.
Was this the first time the boy had ever bolted? Who knows? But any parent with an autistic kid has to understand the possibility. You just don't take chances.

Unfortunately, I can also see parents who just don't want to be bothered anymore. Ugh. Hopefully, the truth comes out.

My question is if he himself could not run and catch his child...why didn't the other adult walking with the father and child run after the child?

yeah his story is full of holes and he did not act like a typical father would act if one of his kids were missing. I have a feeling this boy was passed long before he was reported missing and dad did not call an employee at the park called 911 . another thing dad did not call 911 why ? fishy fishy and more fishy .

I see a lot of speculation going on, I would note that it's pretty rare for someone out to kill a child to bring along a witness.

Instead of having *feelings* and speculating about murder, why don't we just show a little patience and wait for an autopsy?

David Paulides was on Coast To Coast AM last night. Again, he had some very interesting information about bodies turning up in water. Also some have appeared to have been drugged with rohypnol the date rape drug.

At the least, why would this father give his son such freedom without using a tether?

It seems to me that he would have already known that his son was a runner and taken appropriate steps to ensure he couldn't run away.

Sore feet or not, the boy should never have been let get so far away from him. If his feet were so sore, he should never have let himself get into this situation of his son running away. Very neglectful and very sad.
