Poor family, poor man...I hope it's a simple case of a confused man wandering away...but it doesn't sound like it.

Cubby, somewhere on the last thread (sorry I can't find it now!) there is a recent article that states NO ONE has been cleared.
I know how it looks, but I'm just not willing to drink that Koolaid - yet.
When I spoke with PPD Det. David Radomski on July 26 2010,
he said that NO ONE had been cleared.
Det Radomski is the detective in charge of Robert Harrod's missing person case.
fwiw:
I came across Bob Herrod's case one night when I had caught up on reading my regular ones. I obviously missed a lot because of the threads now closed.
My very first impression was that I was stunned this case was at such a standstill. It was not handled correctly to begin with, IMO. Bob is/was elderly. An all out ground search should have taken place immediately. Was Bob classified as a missing endangered person? I think any elderly person should be.
I am just giving an opinion here, but since Bob had called in the housekeeper and SIL to help get the house ready for Fontelle's arrival, could he have possibly called the barber to have his hair cut also? That would make sense to me.
Bob Harrod is the victim here. If we cannot speculate as we do in other missing person's cases, then our hands are effectively tied.
FWIW, I do not think the daughters had anything to do with the disappearance. I am very glad that they do have co-conservatorship of the estate. As for them now being able to offer a substantial reward in Bob's case, there are guidelines as to how any money can be spent from the estate. After all, Bob has not been declared dead as yet and all money and property is still in his name. I believe the daughters can pay bills, taxes, and upkeep of the home with money from Bob's estate, but are limited to necessary spending. JMO
I had dinner with a longtime friend who is a lawyer in our capitol city. We have dinner every couple of weeks or so. He says the laws in California are similiar to our state. We talked about Bob's case at length. If there was no co-mingling of Bob and Fontelle's money and there was such a short term living together as man and wife, then Fontelle would be entitled to very little as there is an existing family trust. She would most likely be entitled to live in the home as in survivorship, but it would remain in Bob's name until he either returns or is declared dead. If and when Bob is declared dead, then his will and the family trust would be followed.
My friend stated that without knowing the particulars, that was the best he could do. Now that is just my opinion and his. However; he did further state (and I agree) that he could not envision Fontelle even wanting to stay in California and the home in view of her age and it would seem that she would want to be near her own family. Of course she wants to know what happened to Bob, but she can do that from any other state.
Meanwhile, Bob is missing. What I intend to do is look at all missing, unidentified deceased elderly males that have been located in every state. If Bob is deceased, he deserves the dignity of a proper burial and a headstone with his name on it.
I have posted on missing person's cases and have speculated. I am careful not to violate TOS. WS means a lot to me and I would not want to be banned! I have never even had an infraction here. All of the above is JMO and MOO.

OK then-MSM reports that phone calls made to Bob's house the morning of his disappearance are important, and IIRC the statement was made that they do not want to tip off a suspect by releasing the information.
Well whoever called him knows that they called him, so I think given the statement they have now been tipped off. JMO.
Until that info is released, we can only speculate, so moving on....
I am not getting from MSM when the last time SIL laid eyes on Bob, because that is when the timeline starts for his disappearance of course. I know there was discussion of a phone call to Bob by one of the children where she heard SIL say he was leaving for Home Depot-a trip he actually made a few hours later, IIRC.
So I wonder if the phone calls of interest came in prior to the "I'm going to Home Depot" SIL comment or after?
In any case, can anyone point me to a time when SIL saw Bob last? TIA!!!

Well that is a moving target of a story. So I wonder if the phone call from the daughter where SIL said he was going to the hardware store actually happened later than 11am or 12PM. Like at 2:30PM. And she was confused by the time.
Huh.
I am inclined to believe the early media on the case, simply because the memory was fresher in their minds, rather than later once the time stamped receipt was turned over etc. I watched the interview with J the day after Bob disappeared, and it was compelling.
Wow. Confusing.
So do we even have a firm timeline now? I mean we know when SIL was at Home Depot and when the housekeeper was there.
Thanks dream-so who is Det Colleen Loomis?
Yes, I meant to go back and edit my post with the correct name, but I missed the window. TY it is Corinne Loomis.I found a Corrine Loomis listed as a civilian investigator:
http://www.placentiapd.org/pd/default.asp?section=1&type=Normal&id=171&crumbs1=1&crumbs2=181
It is an awful short list of detectives, which could explain progress, or lack of.
Also, am I correct to understand that SIL and his wife live in a home that Bob owns? Or does one of Bobs other daughters live in a home Bob owns?
How many homes does Bob currently own, 2 or 3 or more?
this case is so confusing......
Does anyone besides me find it odd that the last person to see Bob alive -SIL - and his wife don't have their timelines straight the day after Bob goes missing?
Why would SIL's wife not have the timeline straight? The only reason I can think of is SIL gave her conflicting/inaccurate info and why would he do that if he had nothing to hide?
JMO
I am not sure of the total number of homes Mr. Harrod owns, but there are at least two.
