After a few weeks, I knew he was dead. I occasionally wondered if he was somewhere suffering from amnesia or something, but he would have called his sister on her birthday if he'd been alive.

He was mainly missing so long because the worst police force in the world was initially responsible for the investigation. Once the right force, and detective, were on the job, it was a matter of months.

Detective Bice was the best! Scott and I went down and met with him when he took over the case in March 2008. I had no doubt he would bring it to a close.
