I wonder why LE didn't just arrest him at the time...

Are there any reports on what he was last seen wearing and whether he had any tattoos? I found this flyer on the FB page linked above by PommyMommy. It just says "black jacket and jeans". This UID who was found about 2 1/2 hours away was wearing "Black down jacket, white Nike gym shoes, black socks, blue sweat pants, black T shirt". It also describes a tattoo of a cross on the UID's right upper arm. Any chance this is Todd's body?

I haven't seen anything about tattoos but here are two sources that describe his clothing.

Thanks, PommyMommy I looked through some of Todd's pics on the FB page. I didn't see any tatts.

In my experience with these cases, having gone through this type of situation, it can certainly take time as they conduct all their interviews (including with the accused) and determine if there is enough probably cause to charge a suspect. Seeing as he went to do his interview with the state police and left agitated, that would make sense. He was being accused of something, freaked out and left. At that time, charges were not filed because they were still gathering evidence and statements. MOO but again, I do have some experience with these types of cases.

With this new information, it really makes me wonder if he skipped town or did harm himself and just has not been found yet.

Offense date was 9/1/2006, filed 2 weeks after skipping rehab, so maybe someone was unhappy to see him back in town?

Interesting. I know he used to work with Matthew Gillies from Allegan (who is now in prison for child ). They worked together for several years. I wonder if there is a connection there. If his offense date was really 2006, I believe they worked together during that time.
