JuM and hubby JeM do not appear in the last five minutes of the Disappeared episode. I am willing to bet they declined to participate.

Very telling, IMO!

I'm not a betting person. But I'd be willing to bet on that too.

Can anyone recall the first name of Bob's Disappeared episode? It's so unmemorable I've forgotten it. And when the original preview clip was posted and pulled?

 

[EdinburghLass]

I tape Disappeared each week, it is just about to start, and it is Bob's episode! I am surprised we are seeing it here before you all. (Ah, I see your schedule changed)

I'm watching now. I'm very surprised we get it first. I'm used to the mismatched disappeared schedule we get here - it's just like they show whatever episode from whatever season whenever they feel like it.

Just as a catch-up for any Australian friends dropping in;

Bob Harrod's show on ID TV, 'Disappeared, Long Lost Love', has been pulled from US TV schedules. But it aired late Friday on Australian Discovery TV, and is airing again Monday.

All of us here would really to see it and hear about it.

Don't post! Keep watching and tell us ALL about it after, pretty please.

 

[zwiebel]

Well, okay, post in the ad breaks, that's fine.

Are you taping it or watching the tape?

 

[zwiebel]

Oh, I do hope EdinburghLass has a good memory.

O/T Mr Z brought his wedding outfit there. And then we spied on the shop through a camera obscura. Amazing thing.

 

[EdinburghLass]

Rather than quote you all - I just finished watching but have to admit I got a bit sidetracked with googling about bob while I was watching. So I didn't give the show my full attention.

However - I iq disappeared each week (ie tape it) so I have the episode ready to watch again if needed.

I had heard of Bob's case before but had never delved into any detail. I don't know what to think after watching and just reading a few pages of his threads.

Does anyone have any specific questions and I can flick through the episode to find answers?

Overview of the episode -

Main focus for the first part was on bob becoming reacquainted with fontelle. Fairy tale whirlwind romance etc.

Lots of input from his daughters and a large focus towards the end on the hairdresser. Also an interesting Interview with his housekeeper of 10 years.

I can't work out if an episode is showing in Australia now or not. All these time zones completely befuddle me. Plus, it's 3am here and that isn't helping....

Does it say what time Bob's son-in law left the house and Bob went missing?

According to my foxtel planner, the next live showing is 530am Monday EST

Eta - it's 1pm Saturday here now

Flicking through now to see if I can find that.

I just flicked past the bit too about the couple from balboa island - that bob visited although his family swore he would never drive on freeways.

 

[zwiebel]

Also, hope you don't mind but, a couple more questions......

Did they mention a suspicious black car driving up and down out front of Bob's house?

Are there any interviews with the third, youngest daughter JuM? Or her husband, the son-in-law who was in the house doing repairs? Or their son, AH, who checked the house that night with police?

The show has the day starting with the SIL arriving at 9am. SIL left the house multiple times during the day and no odd behaviour from bob.

Housekeeper arrived and nobody was there. No keys had been left in the usual spot either. No time given though.

SIL arrived and asked if she was meant to be there and she said yes. He let her in and went upstairs by himself to check bob wasnt up there. he was up there for a number of minutes by himself until he called to the housekeeper that bob wasnt there. bed unmade for the first time ever in ten years. She was there 3 hrs.

House was searched and police unable to talk about what was found. SILs car was clean and nothing found by crime lab. SIL told police he saw an SUV drive down the street on a number of occasions that day.

Yes to the car - they said the SIL mentioned an SUV driving slowly past the house numerous times on the day bob disappeared. They used this to start the segment about the hairdresser.

No interviews with the son in law (definitely) or the son (I'm pretty sure). My baby has woken up so ill need to check later on which daughters were involved.

If you'd like, I can watch the full episode again tonight and type as it goes, giving you an overview?

 

[zwiebel]

That would be wonderful, thank you so much! Thanks for all the info, and welcome to Bob's thread!

 

[zwiebel]

No time given now for the housekeeper arriving? Could they have edited it? That's worrying.

ETA: We get one bit of the timeline filled in - 9am arrival for Jem, and another bit gets stolen away!

 

[zwiebel]

I really want to know if any conclusions, suggestions were made about the hairdresser. It seems a lot of the programme focused on her.

I could have missed it but as far as I saw the only time given on the day was 9am - it showed bob getting dressed and SIL arriving. They then proceed to give the SILs account of the day including him leaving multiple times to get supplies. And then the housekeeper arrived - so I assumed it was later in the day as how would he have time to leave multiple times before 9am? And he wasn't there when she arrived - he drove up as she was sitting and waiting.
