Vanvalkenburg does not live with Dylan and his family; he lives with his wife, who allegedly did not file a missing person report.

Investigators say the man’s phone, wallet, car and keys were all left at his home, along with a note. Dylan describes this as suspicious and out of character for their father.

His wife not filing a missing report is certainly odd. Either he had a habit of disapearring or she wasn't concerned about the situation for personal reasons.
