NOPE, he'd have been 24. So very doable. I wonder what he was up to in 2004?
On ancestry.com, it is easy to find his UNH yearbook picture. He looks like Nate, the psychoboy.
In that photo he doesn't look like the drawing, though.
He doesn't look too young, to me! He presents young, but doesn't look young. Just my opinion.
I still haven't been able to see his pic. I can't join ancestry just yet.In that photo he doesn't look like the drawing, though.
Finally, I think we need to 100% stop with the societal attitude that victims need to be ashamed or that if they are not hiding, they didn't suffer enough. Abby has done nothing wrong here. She is the good guy. And she's showing the world that she was not destroyed.
To me, her photo is one of resilience, pride, determination, courage, strength, bravery, triumph and hope.
All I can say is, you go girl!!!

I haven't read anything that suggests Abigail should be ashamed. Perhaps you confused “be ashamed” with posts suggesting that Abigail's behavior is inconsistent for an alleged (recent) victim of severe trauma. (I AM NOT STATING MY OPINION.)
There are very consistent, predictable patterns of behavior that occur in recent trauma victims.
1. A recent trauma victim relives his/her helplessness as if it were occuring in the present. These traumatic memories are replayed as vivid visual images and vivid sensations. This is not something that a recent trauma victim can immediately control. Because of these continuously replayed memories, severely traumatized people have great difficulty resuming normal activities within a short time frame.
2. Recently traumatized people have repetitive uncontrollable compulsions where they reenact scenes from their trauma in numerous ways. To stop these compulsions, they withdraw physically and/or mentally.
3. A recently traumatized person desperately tries to avoid triggers of his horrific experience.

‘I'm her father, I want to know what happened more than anyone, I'm desperate for answers. How do you think I feel? It's terrible that I don't know what happened to my own daughter.
‘You would have thought I would be kept informed, but I haven't been. I have talked to the police, but they don't know.
‘Even if Abby lived here and even if I had custody the police still wouldn't be able to tell me anything because it's an open investigation.’
‘The short time I spent with Abby, well, you can tell when not to push someone’, he said. ‘I hope she will let me know what happened when she is ready.
EXCLUSIVE: 'I'm her father, I want to know what happened more than anyone, I'm desperate for answers': Abby Hernandez's dad speaks out for the first time over her mysterious disappearance and return

I'm no expert but I do agree with pensfan...
of-this-topic question: did ZH's published letter to abby come before or after she received hers? I don't remember discussion on this but I missed a few threads in the last 9 months...
TIA.
Is anyone else skeptical that Ruben Hernandez spoke with the UK Daily News? He's been so quiet during this whole thing and not in the public eye-- I would think that if this particular man broke his silence it wouldn't be with this publication. MOO
JMO, but I don't read anything into it except that he's a successful businessman, thinks practically. If he breaks his silence, it doesn't surprise me if it's to the highest bidder. (It also is a publication that would publish several of his favored photos of Abby.) I missed threads 1-10 so maybe that's why I'm not understanding skepticism towards the dad, here. From what little I've read, he seems like a loving and concerned dad.
Oh I'm not skeptical about that Dad, I am skeptical about the newpaper!
