Found Alive Australia - Mark, 51, & Jacoba Tromp, 53, Jenolan Caves, NSW, 30 Aug 2016

My take; a very insular family unit with a controlling father.

He's had some sort of paranoid psychotic episode and through years of control has convinced the rest of the family to go on the road trip.

Theory based on first hand observation of one family member and reports from other locals.

Good to hear he has been found.

This case has been very confusing.

I wonder if he was headed for the airport?
Even though he has no passport.

It's not an international airport.

Did he even have ID though?
If not then he couldn't even travel interstate.

Yeah this incident will have been the culmination of years of dysfunction. Did any article say which of the three siblings didn't live with them?

Glad he's been found.


So curious about this. Who will get the story - Sunday Night? 60 Minutes? Australian Story?

It truly will be a great Father's Day for the family, as per your link. Good thing they maintained the publicity and exposure, it sounds as though it was a member of the public that first saw Mark.


The son of Mark Tromp says it will truly be a happy Father's Day after his dad was found on the outskirts of Wangaratta on Friday afternoon.

A passer-by spotted Mr Tromp walking along Greta Road near the Wangaratta airport shortly before 6pm and phoned police.

So happy he's been found alive. I hope he can get the help he needs, along with the whole family. I wish them all well.

I think it is Mitch who no longer lives at home. Not 100% sure though.
