If he had a habit of wandering, or bolting from the home I would think the parents would have some safe guards in place? A camera? An alarm or chime if a door or window was opened?

Did he go out his window? Would that be plausible by the style of home or did he sneak out the front door? Back door? What is the consensus on how he left the home?

If he had a history of leaving I would think the mom would have opened his door to see what he was doing instead of just calling out and not looking in on him after hearing a bang.

He had never bolted or eloped. No history of leaving/running away. The parents believe he left via the front door. He had a code for the front door, if he had gotten locked out accidentally he could’ve let himself back in.

His windows appear to be similar to the windows at my house, it wouldn’t be possible to go out through the window without removing the screen. Putting the screen back in completely from outside would be difficult to impossible, same for closing/latching the widow.

Mom was a home alarm system tech it was surprising to a lot of people that they didn’t have an alarm, guess they didn’t feel like they needed one. They didn’t even have a camera to my knowledge.

I’m sure she will never forgive herself for not going in to check on him, but they were trying to give him some privacy as there had been some issues of him needing privacy as he was becoming a young man. IMO
