I came across a few old posts:

There was a family meeting on Sunday, it was heated at times, there
were NO threats and we all left on good terms.

Bob Harrod and his three daughters had an argument over finances the
Sunday before he vanished.
His daughter, Roberta, acknowledged the exchange, saying her father
lost his temper. She said he had failed to provide copies of their
mother's will, which he was obligated to do because of the financial
mechanisms set up by the estate.
"It wasn't a heated meeting," she said in a phone interview. "Dad
got heated. He's very selfish, very conditional. The day before he
went missing in the afternoon, he was going to provide us copies of
the will, and we went over to get the copies. He didn't have them."

The last day anyone claims to have seen Bob Harrod is July 27.
The day before he disappeared, his daughters -- Paula Borcher,
Roberta Brady and Julie Michaels -- went to his home in Placentia.
The four argued about money, police say.

August 11, 2010 – RB on IS
We did NOT argue about money and we did not discuss money. Dad had
failed to live up to his obligations as trustee of our Mother's
Bypass trust and he scheduled the meeting for all of us so he could
provide beneficiary copies of reports as required by law. He told me
that he wanted to "get this over with" he said "before Fontelle
returns because it is none of her business".
Dad NEVER discussed his financial intentions about Fontelle and we
did NOT ask, as that was not our concern. That was NOT what the
meeting was about at all.
Because I pointed out that he had not provided complete sets of
documents he got really testy about it. He eventually produced most,
but not all, of what he was required to.
After that, we sat around making small talk and happy talk teasing
him about being a newlywed and about getting anxious for her return,
etc. More discussion was devoted to his need to get rid of the
barber. Although he denied it, we knew that there was much more to
that relationship than he would ever admit. I think he was ashamed
of it and we made no secret that we thought he was being used and we
felt duty bound to express that to him.
The meeting began about noon and lasted about two hours. I do not
know who he met with that night as we were all long gone by about 2pm.
And of course we have AH's statement from the welfare check:
"(AH) told me it was not like his grandfather to leave without telling anybody where he was going. Andrew continued and said that there had been fighting in the family recently and Robert was very frustrated over the situation. Andrew said his grandfather probably left to get away from the family problems."
So we have numerous references to fighting in the family...apparently heated fighting. But none of it was about Bob's money according to RB.
So what was it about? :waitasec:
Because it was it was worth noting by several sources. Oh and LE says it was about the money.
