> [@WotNot](#): > > 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.” “I know he’s abroad but, other than that, I have no idea” is more logical than claiming he has no idea after then saying the guy is no longer in the US. The judge didn’t like it, either. ---

Screwed up my edit. “I know he’s abroad but, other than that, I have no idea” is more logical than claiming he has no idea then saying the guy is no longer in the US. The judge didn’t like it, either. ---

I just read that Kerri is about to file a missing persons report, which will allow the FBI and local police to become involved. Why can’t the judge simply order Jean Kasem to reveal his whereabouts under threat of contempt of court. It looks like all sorts of efforts are under way to find out what she’s done with him, all while leaving her out of the loop. ---

> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > Why can’t the judge simply order Jean Kasem to reveal his whereabouts under threat of contempt of court. It appears that Jean is also “missing”, though nobody seems to care about finding her. ---

Maybe he was investigating the ghost of an Indian chief haunting the reservation he was staying at, and found a guy wearing glowy paint who was actually the owner of a casino that wanted to build a new Bingo hall on an ancient burial ground, and was trying to scare the conscientious objectors away. Another mystery solved! ---

[He’s been found in Washington state](http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/15/showbiz/casey-kasem-whereabouts/) (which, the last time I heard is part of the U.S.) And to get this back on a serious note, I’ve had personal experience with several people in the final stages of life who, because of constant pain, exhaustion or whatever, simply didn’t want to see ANYONE and it was left to their spouse or caretaker to be the bad cop and tell the kids, siblings, oldest friends, etc. that the sick person didn’t want to see them. Needless to say, that didn’t make them popular. ---

Does anyone else see parallels in this sad saga between Casey and Grouch Marx? So sad when families don’t and can’t get along… ---
