My father dissapeared 7 years ago and I had tried to file a missing persons report quite a few years ago and was basically told I am not allowed to do it because there wasn’t suffecient reason to even though he had been missing for quite a few years at that time.
My father was supposed to go to Mexico to give some money to his new wife down there, He was supposed to come back up to CA to sale his house then he was going to finish paying the two thousand he left on his ranch in Mexico.
He sold his Shop in L.A. and was supposed to sell his shop in Madera. He dissapeared after that. I found out that the state took control of the shop in madera for not paying land taxes then sold it.
It wasn’t until this year that the police department allowed me to file him a missing persons.
Why would they let me file now and not then?
It sounds to me like they wanted to wait till the shop was out of his name before I was able to file him missing.
Anyone know anything about the law that can help?
I am not sure why they would have me wait until the shop was out of his name, I just found it quite coincidental. I mean he had been missing for three years already when they refused to file the report the first time. You would think that that would have been suffecient enough time to worry.
I do know the city was bugging him to sell them his shop and he couldn’t because Child support had a lean on it for 2k. He could have paid it off if he wanted to but he didn’t want to sell it to them. He wanted to sell it to a private party but he dissapeared before he did anything.
As far as we know he still had over 75 grand in thebank and the house in his name. We never seen any of it because we couldn’t prove he was missing, Now it’s been 7 years, The house is gone now because property taxes was unpaid and who knows if anything is in the bank now. We’ve never checked.
