Why don’t they just peel her face off and ask the old man under it where Casey is? ---

Did they look in the abandoned amusement park? He’s probably wearing a clown mask. ---

People use their passports to leave the country? I thought they used them to enter another country. If it was some country that was not on the best of terms with the US, they might be lax in relaying that information back. ---

I think you’re right that you don’t need to show one to leave though. Plus I was thinking the lawyers comments came after the official investigation was opened, but looking again, that wasn’t right. So even if the State Dept. does keep track of that sort of thing, the lawyer probably wouldn’t have access to it. ---

So even if the State Dept. does keep track of that sort of thing, the lawyer probably wouldn’t have access to it. I don’t know about boats, but I had to show mine to get on the plane to leave the country, and I had to show my US passport to Canadian officials to get on the train to come back. ---

They check to make sure you have one but don’t keep a record of it or anything. It’s really to head off problems on the other end. They can’t re-enter the country without a passport so waiting until they try to return to discover they forgot it would cause a lot more delays than just making sure they have it with them when they leave. ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > Put it this way: the lawyer must have some idea where Casey is if he knows Casey has left the country. Not really. Jean Kasem could easily have taken Casey abroad, then contacted her lawyer to say that she’d done it, without letting on where she’d taken him. Or he could even have advised her to do it: “Take him out of the country. Don’t tell me where you’re going, just let me know when you’re gone.” ---

They can’t re-enter the country without a passport so waiting until they try to return to discover they forgot it would cause a lot more delays than just making sure they have it with them when they leave. Airlines also want to make sure you have the documentation to enter the country you’re flying to, to avoid headaches where they have to take you back.
