Daughter JuM dedicated that tree to the wrong man. It wasn't Bob who made his wife a widow.

You know what would be interesting? The evidence processed during the search of the house in March is being held back...I wonder if there is a grand jury waiting in the wings for this case.
An important point. In Feb. 2011 daughter R posted on a forum that she did not know the time JeM left Mr. Harrod's house to go to Home Depot.
This is over a year and a half after Mr. Harrod's disappearance. JeM was the last person to see Mr. Harrod alive. The time is VERY important in establishing a timeline of what happened to Mr. Harrod, yet daughter R doesn't know the time.
Why not call your BIL and ask him what time he last saw Mr. Harrod and what time he left to go to Home Depot?
I suppose it is better not to know if you are going to be interviewed by LE or even asked to take a poly.
I may have this whole situation the wrong way around-RB may have her own suspicions regarding her sister and BIL...my understanding is that she is very sharp. Maybe this is the real reason she doesnt want to get involved in the details...or draw attention to her father's disappearance/presumed homicide. Can you imagine what a heartache and burden that would be?
If any of the family was in that position, I expect it would tear them apart to have to choose a side.
This whole discussion is about Bob Harrod...he's missing...WHAT ABOUT BOB???
These questions being discussed are tough and beg answers. Are we morally corrupt?
No silence, no distractions, no lies, ....just the truth!!!!
"The truth shall set you free" Anyone believe that any more?
As much as I see where you're coming from, I really want to think that there is at least one person out there who wants to do right, and the opportunity for him is now. Take a deep breath, please -- take as many as you need, and think about how you could avoid so many repercussions. You can and should put yourself in the driver's seat here. You have one life to live, and this is a singular opportunity to make things right.
Who does not want justice for Bob Harrod?
Yes, according to one of Bobs daughters SIL JeM left a note for Bob that he hoped he was ok and would be returning the following day to finish up work he hadn't completed Monday. It's odd that he didn't return to finish up that work if he had no involvement in Bobs disappearance.
Now, if SIL did have any involvement what a selfish act to put the burden of carrying this "secret" on his wife, sister in laws, son, daughter in law and grandchildren.
Hopefully there is at least one member of this family who will put Bob first. Realizing the repercussions of the truth coming out in any other manner extends beyond legal repercussions. Doing the right thing may be difficult, but what repercussions are those with knowledge (directly or not directly) responsible willing to make and at what costs?
Yes, the truth will set you free.

Secrets.
I worked for many years in social services. Confidentiality was our by word.
I knew many facts about people in this small town and valley that I live in, but
never discussed anything with anyone.
But I was also a mandatory reporter, so if I witnessed or knew of any kind of abuse or neglect, I had to report it.
I hope that there is a mandatory reporter among the Harrod daughters.
