Seems he hasn't been here in over a year.
I was thinking if someone (like the SIL's wife or the SIL) had taken him to Home Depot, that would explain the hat.. but not the glasses, but if the glasses were only for reading, then it wouldn't matter.. but.. if he was "legally blind", he wouldn't be going ANYwhere or even being in the house, without his glasses on... but yet.. the SIL says he last saw him wearing a hat. Wouldn't it be pretty weird to be wearing your sun hat in the house? But yet that is where the SIL says he last saw him. Doesn't add up, think SIL screwed up when he said he was wearing his hat.We discussed that at the time of his disappearance. Fontelle said the first thing he did when he awoke was put his glasses on. There was absolutely no way he would go for a walk without them.
No. I've tried over the past couple of years, and my connections are no longer working. I assume her circumstances are such that she won't be returning.
Speaking of the grandson who'd borrowed money... just wondering if it had earlier been said or determined by members, which daughter the grandson belonged to?Have been following this case from a distance.
I admit I'm more suspicious of the family than of Fontelle.
And that grandson who'd borrowed money and stopped paying it back after bob's disappearance ??
Hmmm...

I see from Bob's first wife's obit, that the couple had only one grandchild at the time of her death, (and who had a spouse and 3 children (great grandchildren for Bob and Georgia) of his own).
Thank you, that is the same info I came up with after researching. Interesting!The grandson is the son of Julie and Jeff. Correct me if I am wrong..
I believe, and hopefully someone will correct me, he is Julie's son. There was a change in last name; some weirdness there re: his name. I'll have to look when I get back from the doc.Speaking of the grandson who'd borrowed money... just wondering if it had earlier been said or determined by members, which daughter the grandson belonged to?

I am wondering if Bob had been aware on the previous evening, that SIL would be showing up first thing next morning to do some repairs on his house? Are we assuming that Bob had asked him to do this, and/or that he knew the plans? The fam was gathered at the home the day before, for an uncomfortable family meeting about finances and presumably future plans to include Bob's new wife. He spoke to his new bride afterward. Does anyone know if he mentioned the next morning's reno plans to Fontelle?
Also, it is said that Fontelle spoke on the phone to B twice a day during the time after she went home to pack up her stuff.. in the morning and in the evening.. does anyone know the 'usual' time of the 'morning call'? Fontelle's last phonecall with him was on Sunday evening, but I'm wondering why they didn't speak the next morning, since it was customary for them to talk in the mornings as well. Is there an explanation for this? Or is it more likely that B went 'missing' much earlier than stated?

I figured there had been a birth at a young age, prior to marriage, while single and still having maiden name, and hence the naming of her offspring with same. ... and then at some later date mom married and took her husb's name, while said offspring carried on with the name given at birth.IIRC both Julie & her husband Jeff changed their surname; later their son changed his surname to Harrod; Robert was part of the son's name.
JMHO YMMV LRR

ETA - the pertinent dates helped me come to that conclusion.
Thanks for the info. I am unable to see anything in that announcement, is it possible to post it in a larger jpg format?No link, that's not the sequence presented. The husband's original surname has negative connotations as an English word. IIRC, a variation of his middle name became their surname. The son changed his surname to Grandpa's in adulthood.
Paywall, but look closely for the wedding announcement:

It's peculiar. Julie (Bob's youngest daughter) and Jeff Michaels are Andrew Harrod's parents. Only Jeff Michaels wasn't always known by that name, as he changed it from Finke/Fink. Can't recollect now. Julie seems to have changed hers too, to Harrod-Michaels with a hyphen, when it suits her.
Then their son Andrew Michaels, who had all those complicated loans with Bob that edged towards a million dollars, changed his middle and last name, so he became Andrew Robert Harrod. In his court deposition, it was revealed that it may have led to some accidental confusion with Bob's financial advisor. Andrew somehow ended up reading an email or maybe two, meant for Bob.
I'm sure Andrew Michaels AKA Andrew Robert Harrod informed anyone who made that mistake straight away though.
