CA CA - Bob Harrod, 81, Orange County, 27 July 2009 - #18

[zwiebel]

I came across this today. A much-loved missing grandfather and father, and what his children and grandchildren have been doing to find him, with virtually zero publicity. Heartbreaking.

That's what I would have wished and expected for Bob.

I think it must be a one in a million chance that Bob was the victim of a serial killer - let alone one who normally targets women - but I suppose I should mention media is linking several deaths/disappearances in OC. I know that possibility has been raised before about Bob.

I don't quite understand it myself - Aubreyanna's alleged killer has already been arrested, and I haven't seen a hint he is being connected to other killings.

Bruno the K9 had more surgery Friday. It was a complete success. Breathing tube's out. There is even an X-ray of his lungs here, for those of you medically inclined.

Every time I hear of an earthquake in Bob's area, I hope it will cause something for people to come across him - you know, checking out new areas etc. Prayers that Bob is found soon ... it's been too long!

Thinking about Bob today too. There's a thread on the main forum about a 93 year old man missing. All very sad.

 

[zwiebel]

I spotted that poppygirl. He is called Robert too, and drives the same car as Bob did. Robert Davis, of Marin County. I've tried to help Bob lend a hand to Robert. I really hope he can be found alive, but it looks ominous with the amount of time that has passed.

He is out there somewhere though, probably still in that silver Toyota Camry CA license plate 4SEY
056.

ETA: With a missing, front right hubcap.

O/T mikkismom, but because of the natural passing of a British actress, Kate O Mara, I ended up on Joan Collin's twitter feed. She'd posted a pic of herself and her sister Jackie smiling through an earthquake in LA, and hadn't the foggiest idea what 'being prepared' was.

I ended up posting the (really useful) LA Fire Dept's emergency preparedness booklet on the thead, just in case Joan drops in!

Today's the day Bob's Disappeared episode, Long Lost Love, airs nationwide again. 1pm ET/PT.

I hope it means thousands more people will get to hear that Bob Harrod is missing and needs to be found.

I am watching right now, and I am curious why the daughters made such a big deal about having their father report regularly to them about the trust?

I have lurked on this thread a long time and it just breaks my heart.
Does anyone know how Fontelle is? My thoughts and prayers are with her and Bob.

It's amazing how greedy people get when someone dies....

Watching it again, I noticed the repeated alluding to the difficulty Bob had with 'finding documents'. It seems the daughters had been hounding Bob for 'documents' since before their mother was even cold.

O/T - I have GOT to stop watching that episode ... I find myself using bad words and I'm afraid my birdies will learn them!

 

[zwiebel]

There was all the hedging originally about 'the documents' they were desperate to see were only their mother's will, yet that was easily available at the courthouse. it's never really made sense.

I know it's been speculated that daughters perhaps expected to receive their mother's half of the family trust immediately, not realizing how trusts between husband and wife work. I think that may be correct.

Sadly, the last interview Fontelle did she still seems grief stricken. It must be so hard waiting in that house for Bob to be found, after what she believes happened there.

Here is the interview.

This is a really good article with all the details of the case set out - and it is where RB, (middle daughter who appeared on the Disappeared episode) insists the family meeting was only about their mother's will, and calls Bob 'selfish and conditional'.

The other two sisters and son in law didn't comment in the article.

Here is a link where youngest daughter JuM did an interview the day after Bob disappeared and said he went missing at 'Maybe one? Noon?'

She is married to son in law who was working in the house the day Bob disappeared. He was out when Bob disappeared, he says. He has a Home Depot receipt for 3.02pm, according to Placentia PD.

Anyone who's just watched the Disappeared episode will know another time crops up as well, because the housekeeper says she arrived at noon to find neither Bob nor son in law at the house.

Bob never returned, but she says son in law returned about 12.15, I recollect?

I found you guys again. You can run but you can't hide. LOL I had to get a new computer and all my bookmarks are in the old one. I didn't know where to looks to find this thread.

I saw the Disappeared epi again today. It struck me once again how unconcerned JeM was that Bob was gone from the house when he got back from his "errands" and Agnes was waiting there.

Why would he NOT be? He leaves the house to run errands when Bob is there. He comes back after doing whatever, to find Agnes waiting, and being thrown off with the fact he didn't know she was going to be there that day. Bob's car is still in the driveway. They go in and he goes upstairs at Agnes' request to make sure everything is ok. He comes back down after several minutes, then proceeds for the next three hours to do his repairs. He isn't concerned? He isn't worried that a man who can't walk, a man who didn't drive anywhere is gone from the house and hasn't come back?

He doesn't looks for him, go outside in the back to look for him, go in the garage to look for him or in the playhouse to look for him, just continues with his repairs? Then 3 hours later leaves and that's it? Doesn't call his wife to say that her father wasn't there when he came back nor by the time he went to leave 3 hours later. And that's ok? Why wasn't he alarmed? Agnes was. That in itself is suspicious, especially after the friendly family-no one got mad-we were just joking around-meeting the night before.
