Waiting cn be very hard on the mental state of the family. I, for your sake, they find either him or his reamins to end this waiting. I hope it's him and he is kicking high.

I just saw this post at noon and didn't have time to post. You are right to want this resolved. You are not being selfish. I hope they find him soon so you can have some peace. Will be thinking of you.
Take care,

Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 163 | Liz ..we had the same problem with my Dad 5 years ago. Found him by the RR tracks then up the golf course with a rope and a ladder...in the end he stabbed himself 6 times and nearly succeeded.
What saved him was electric shock therapy which I was unaware they did any more.
I will pray for your family.
