PORTLAND, Ore. If Nadine Kirk is still alive somewhere in the world, she will celebrate her 101st birthday this month.
But despite two years of looking by multiple local and federal investigators they haven't been able to find a single trace of her. Now, court records reveal those investigators wonder whether her son has hidden her body, KOIN-TV reported (https://goo.gl/pYdJLh).

Kirk told a Klamath County Deputy his mother left for California with a friend in late May or early June of 2015. He claimed he was unable to remember the name of the friend. After searching California for Nadine and the friend, whose name Ted eventually gave them, detectives came up empty handed.


Klamath County Det. Nick Kennedy asked Kirk for permission to search his property with cadaver detection dogs, but he declined. Kirk did agree to provide a DNA sample for the detective.

The financial part of the case ended up in the hands of Special Agent Dale Boring with the Social Security Administration's Office of Inspector General.

The court documents say Social Security paid $81,360 into the joint bank account of Nadine and Ted Kirk over the five years covered in the criminal complaint. Boring wrote that bank activity contradicts Kirk's statements that he was not financially dependent upon his mother's income.

"The bank records do not show debits or checks payable to any person or vendor that would typically be associated with expenses for an elderly woman, such as hair salon payments or medical payments. These withdrawals are not consistent with Kirk believing that his mother was alive and might be in need of the funds," court documents said.

What a sad story...

Nadine Kirk's body may never be found

Theodore Martin Kirk, 64, of Bonanza, was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in Medford to 18 months in prison for stealing more than $30,000 worth of Social Security benefits in the name of his mother, who is presumed dead, according to a press release issued Tuesday by the U.S. Attorneys Office.

A jury found Kirk guilty of theft of government funds in March, and Kirk was slated to be sentenced on the conviction Sept. 6. Federal prosecutors say U.S. District Court Judge Michael McShane delayed sentencing a week so Kirk could provide investigators the location of his mother’s remains, but Kirk didn’t provide the location by the judge’s deadline.

Bump for Nadine. Personally just by the intuition and appearance of this case, it’s extremely unlikely Ted harmed his mom.

This situation likely happens all the time. Some men especially, and they’re usually men, become so introverted as they age, maybe with autism etc, they become dependent on mom, and when mom passes away they are terrified. They maybe haven’t worked in years or decades, so they just keep quiet, likely providing a halfway decent but clandestine burial of mum, and just living off the continued checks, knowing very well, with a subtle panic, that one day the jig will be up on this. This story repeats all the time and it always results in a couple years in the pokey and who the heck knows after that.

These stories provoke deep empathy for both the moms and the sons, because in most cases we know they were very close and shared great memories, but the dude is generally not configured for employment for any number of reasons. A responsible man might find a way to eek a living, but often the idea seems so distant and foreign, the dude defers to just taking the easy road. Mom is gone, she won’t be suffering and he knows she won’t care that he keeps cashing the dang checks. But that’s not how our tax dollars work exactly. And lord knows the government doesn’t have endless bounties for this purpose.

RIP Nadine, and I hope Ted is okay too.

I am autistic with other challenges, I live with mom, though I do have a job, my potential there is limited by my disability and if I lose mom there’s a very good chance I will wind up just politely walking into the Ocala National Forest with no intention of ever coming back out.
