CA CA - Bob Harrod, 81, Orange County, 27 July 2009 - #15

Can a DA get them? That's very good news if so, I just never thought it would be possible.

 

[zwiebel]

I have to ask - if Larry 'phenomenal' Montgomery was examining Bob's case, what's the first thing he would look at? I'd love to hear what you all think.

 

[Cubby]

Now, if I were feeling especially mean I would imply that hiring a PI/Bodyguard is a way of having a fit attractive man on your arm, but I am sure that this is not the case and I would never be that deliberately mean.

Well, Bob's daughters have proven to be "that deliberately mean" and then some. Just sayin'. Did I hear somewhere Bob's daughters met this PI/Body guard at a hotel? Ah, nevermind.

 

[zwiebel]

I hope the first thing the PI investigated was the time Bob could have gone missing.

I wonder if Jeff and Julie met with the PI or it was just PB and RB. I have a strong feeling JeM and JuM did not work with the PI, at all.

I have a friend who is a PI and he tells me the reports can be subpoenaed under most circumstances.

 

[zwiebel]

I've no doubt they will prove enlightening but maybe not in a way daughters would want.

He was supposed to be allergic to dogs wasn't he? That would have given JuM and JeM the perfect excuse to stay away, being such doggy people and probably having dog hairs about their person etc.

 

[zwiebel]

Not that JeM seems to have ever found it necessary to provide any excuse for his lack of help in finding Bob.

 

[zwiebel]

If I was a detective that would look a little odd to me. I'd want to know more about the last known person to have seen Bob.

 

[believe09]

I keep going back to the Disappeared episode when RB states that they were advised that they shouldnt have let Fontelle back into the house when she arrived on 7/29.

Imagine the scene that would have created with the news media standing right there. "Sorry Fontelle, you cant come home because the attorney we retained immediately says that you should be locked out."

I think it was wise that the girls opted for the warm tearful greeting approach instead. Little did they know that this strong woman wouldnt be dissuaded from finding her husband.

 

[believe09]

The hotel room/animal allergy thing was just another surreal facet of this incredible case. Honestly. Not a conference room, a church, a community center, a library, even a private area of a restaurant. How about his office? This smacks of some incredible paranoia for sure. At a minimum.

A hotel room.

 

[zwiebel]

I've stayed in many hotels. Even the posh ones usually have two chairs, max. So someone must have sat on the bed for the meeting.

 

[zwiebel]

Unless it was one of those thousands of dollars a day hotels. But I presume Bob's estate met the cost and no way could that be justified. That would make it look as though the girls were using the meeting as an excuse to enjoy a swanky hotel, at Bob's expense.

I would want a very detailed play by play accounting of each of the family members day...each person they spoke to, what was said for the time period between when they were notified of the family hearing until they arrived to tell Fontelle they should not have let her in her home.
Longer, really.

 

[zwiebel]

It would be fantastic to have that and compare them, especially if they were taken down before anyone had consulted with anyone else.

I fear only Fontelle's is very detailed, clear and traceable. Travelling on a plane and having her arrival documented by TV crews would obviously help a lot.

I would really like to see AH's.

Could you expand on this, please? This info is new to me. Are you saying the daughters, PB and RB, met the PI in a hotel room?

 

[zwiebel]

I think this was them, wasn't it? The address says 'suite', which makes it sound as though the business itself was based in an hotel room? Or is this used as another word for office in the US?

I can't see anything about missing persons' investigations on that site. I'm sure they can do it, but I would have thought if daughters were looking for someone to find a missing person, they'd have chosen someone specialising in it, and advertising the fact.

ETA The bodyguards on that site all look incredibly well-groomed and dashing. In England they all seem to be hulking great things with bald or shaven heads.

Yes, here is the US, a "suite" is a section of rooms that serve as an office in a larger building.
