I'm with you on this. It is a BIG DEAL. Why would anyone do that? It's his daughter's welfare at stake! Or did he know she was already dead, so there was no urgency in finding her?Without any of RC's questionable statements and questionable actions, his refusal to talk with LE is a huge red flag for me. Innocent and loving parents don't do that.
IMO I suspect he is the one who is physically responsible for his daughter's death so he knows she is deceased and the last thing he wants is for anyone to ever find out what happened or where her remains are.. I also suspect he and members of his family have made certain her remains will never be found..
As I see it they know exactly where she is so why would any of them waste their precious time searching for her. All they are interested in doing is keeping up the pretense she was abducted and denying they believe she is deceased.
Since day one all any of them have ever stated was they hope someone else sees her and finds her. And they know damn well that ain't ever gonna happen.JMHOOTS
