Robert Krull has been ruled out as a poi or suspect by LE

Still, police have spent plenty of time in recent weeks interviewing all members of the family individually, and asking many of the same questions repeatedly.
"The police definitely asked us all the questions at the start. They asked the questions more than once. That’s their job. They ruled that out. They moved on," said Marquis Besser.
The family wants to make it crystal clear those scenarios don’t involve Krull being suicidal or wanting to simply run away for a fresh start.
"No chance. My mom was very, very family-oriented. She would never, ever put anybody through this. Completely ruled out," said Marquis Besser. She notes how her mother filled the home with inspirational messages such as "Live. Love. Laugh" and Post-It notes saying things like "start each day with a smile."
"I know people like to think ‘oh the family is just ignoring facts.’ She was the one that reminded us why life was so precious, and why we should always be so positive. She loves Bob with all of her heart, they had a great marriage, she loves her kids, her kid’s kid, she loves her life. She wouldn’t put anyone through a quarter of what we’re going through now," said Muscat.
With those options negated in the family’s mind, and the medical scenario seeming less plausible, it only leaves what statistically would be the least likely result — a random, stranger-type attack against Krull. It’s hard for the family to fathom, given that Krull seemingly was friendly to everyone and had no enemies.
"The mind can take you so many different directions. Thinking in any of those directions isn’t going to help now. I live in the now. I try not to think too much about the past because it’s going to upset me. I don’t think about the future because I don’t know what the future is," said Marquis Besser. "To go into any sort of dark recluse place isn’t going to help the situation, it’s not going to bring her back home, so I don’t go there."
So they continue to search and support each other, and fend off those dark thoughts that usually come at night. And they admit to being much more suspicious of others, more anxious about their surroundings.
"Every day I correspond with the main investigator liaison. It is an active case. The more resources out there on the police force the better. They’ve gotten over 200 leads. They investigate and follow up on every one. We understand that takes a lot of time," said Marquis Besser.
"They’re working hard. Eventually we believe something has to break... We’re not going to let it stop until she’s home."
