I live in Daytona Beach. The Hawaii Motel is in a touristy area by the beach. It is not the most run-down hotel, but certainly not the Ritz.
Bethune Point, where they said the pings came from is about 10 miles away in New Smyrna Beach... it is more a residential area and very pretty.
Speaking from past experience (my ex husband)... he was Baker Acted and sent to Halifax Hospital. He was released less than 24 hours later. It does not have to be 72 hours, you may leave when doctors decide that you are "no longer a threat to yourself or others".
I will be happy to answer any questions about the area or the Baker Act process.
I also live in Daytona Beach and agree that Halifax does not have to hold him for the 72 hours nor require any type of follow up treatment even if he is deemed mentally unstable. We have a well known problem here of Baker acting people without dealing with the underlying problem and the situation has been reported as a huge problem according to our police department. I'm hoping that because this case is so high profile, George will be offered the best treatment availible.
