CA CA - Bob Harrod, 81, Orange County, 27 July 2009 - #14

I really hope the airing of the programme has caused someone to come forward to LE with information, I really do.

 

[zwiebel]

Now Bob's case is known in the wider community, perhaps some public searches could be organised?

I am sure local people would help if they were asked.

 

[Sharyne]

Yes, her timeclock appears to be a bit skewed...happens to the best of us. <g>

But three hours vs years, and in a situation such as this with a MP? Nope, not buying it. There is a reason the narration on that part was removed, not once but twice, until the 4/4 airing on I.D. apparently put it back or neglected to omit it.

These are the sorts of things that make me inquisitive.

~jmo~

Another thing. While these shows may have good intentions, alas, like so much of the media they also don't get all their facts correct, especially when creating a dramatization. I know that for a fact because of local cases that have been televised. Even AMW got several facts wrong about a couple of local cases. It's so frustrating to know what to really believe.

And yes, why keep changing the time. It's either correct or not. (I mean info from the housekeeper)

I've watched many a show on ID, and it always amazes me how it takes some witnesses so long to come forward with what they saw/know happened. And in many cases, it wasn't that they were worried or fearful of the person who committed the crime.

If son-in-law had made any public statements to help Bob's case, we wouldn't have this problem, all this time later. Why has he never spoken out for Bob's cause?

Say what? We wouldn't have this problem...are you saying if JeM *had* made a public statement, Mr Harrod would have been found by now? Surely not.

JeM has a right to privacy like we all do. There is no mandate to speak to the public. More importantly, he has spoken to LE when asked, his truck was seized and cleared after a forensic exam, and who knows what else. JeM has not been named a POI or anything close to it.

You may not like that he hasn't made a public statement but he is not required to do so. As for his wife, no wonder she hasn't yet again, after being skewered on message boards before this one and still thereafter to this very day.

What would YOU do in their shoes? I know what I would do. But I am not JeM, JuM, or AH...nor am I PB or RB either, all of whom have been roundly/soundly accused without basis on the net for being someway responsible for the disappearance of a MP related to them all.

~jmo~

'This problem' was referring to the subject under discussion - the timeline.

Son-in-law was the last known person to have seen Bob. I'd have thought it a matter of common decency to clear up any confusion, and lend a hand to help the search for his father-in-law.

But yes, there is no law or requirement for him to help.

If you don't mind my asking, how do you know that? Do you know him?

 

[Angelo]

Also, the route Bob normally walked...were there wooded areas nearby?

No. He walked up one side of the street and back down the other. The street is lined with houses.

 

[Angelo]

Didn't son-in-law have a white SUV?

Note: I know nothing about cars. I am ready to be corrected by anyone on this.

White Honda Ridgeline.


JeM told others the mysterious vehicle he saw was a black Tahoe. Notice that was not shown in the Disappeared episode.

I'm recording right now but I can't watch at this moment because I'm preparing for trial. Just checking in. How is it going? Is it going to anger the girls?

Oh yes!!!!!

 

[Angelo]

Agnes: Bob always was home when I went over there, or if, him and Georgia, they would always always tell me if they would not be home, and they put a key in the mailbox. But it was a very rare occasion that they were not home.

Narrator: After about 15 minutes, Jeff drove up to the house.

Agnes: I told him right away that, you know, that where Bob is, because he’s not answering the door. And Jeff was just asking me, “Are you supposed to be here today?” I said, “Yeah, Bob knew that I’m coming today.”

Narrator: Agnes was surprised to hear that Bob didn’t tell Jeff that she would be coming that day. As Jeff let her in the house, she began to feel that something was very wrong.

Bumping this up!

Oh my gosh. Can you imagine if those viewers had heard some of the remarks made in the past? I actually wasn't expecting such firm views.

 

[zwiebel]

Oh no. After all this excitement - I can't buy the video. Geographical restrictions.

All this time I worried they'd pull the video. It never entered my head I should have been fretting over geography. I am so disappointed.

But I am still very happy the word about Bob has been spread far and wide.

Bob's daughter JuM posted a number of times today on her community forum (ROTW), but no mention that her father's story is being aired on Disappeared tonight.

Gee, I wonder why she wouldn't be getting the word out?

Yes I noticed this as well.

JuM averages over 20 posts a day on ROTW, yet she did not post that her missing father's case was to be featured on Disappeared. Strange.

JuM did seem concerned about trolls posting on ROTW. Perhaps she was afraid another poster would post about the Disappeared episode.

I think it's important to go through the threads, and read a bit more about this. I would suggest starting with police statements, and one of the daughters admitting to one of the calls referred to by one of the police.

However, there is a specific phone call where the identity of the caller is being withheld by the police. Why it's being withheld is unclear. It makes for a lot of speculation.

I wonder...Fontelle says she spoke with Bob twice a day, every day. Any chance that she spoke with Bob that morning and LE are asking her to keep it quiet?

Absolutely, I can see this as holdback information. We have also speculated that the caller was an attorney, or APS or even Bob's financial planner. If the timeline for the day starts "around" 10AM, it seems clear that LE is quite positive that the caller is beyond reproach and that the caller spoke to Bob.

Because without that phone call, I would have believed that the disappearance was probably much earlier like Sunday 7/26/09.

Pathetic.
