It's been 11 years since a reliable person last saw Eric. His mom JoAnn posted on Eric's Facebook page. I'm posting a little bit of her post below. If you click on the posted date, it will take you directly to her post. Clicking the page name takes you to his page.

Eric remains missing, in two days it will be ten years. I think KF's husband may know where Eric is, if Eric's daughter Emily doesn't. One question: does the motel housekeeper say she saw Eric-or KF drive off in Eric's car?
I don't think Emily knows anything. I think she suspects John killed Eric but I don't believe Kendra or John would admit that John killed Eric because that's one more person that can eventually tell the secret.
I know there is a grave and a death certificate but...something is gnawing at my gut about all that. I just don't know.
Trust me, Kendra is dead.
Erics daughter fought breast cancer when she was about 18. Interestingly, IIRC, while Emily was just about done doing chemo Kendra found a lump in her breast too, turned out she also had breast cancer.
The thing is, not only was Eric adopted, so was Kendra, so there was no family history for Emily. I know Eric's biological mother has been deceased many years. I'd spoken to her sister many years ago, she messaged me on Facebook. It was so long ago that I don't remember specifics that we talked about.
I believe Kendra knew her mother but I'm not sure if breast cancer runs in her biological family.
Emily was given good treatment from what I remember at the time because the school had done fund raising to pay for whatever was needed. Kendra was having money issues back then, so it's possible she did not get the best treatment, her breast cancer spread, I assume to her lungs and other organs, she was in hospice, then died.
Similar happened to my mother in law 3 years ago. She had a common breast cancer in 2007, then she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer about 6 years ago at 79. They did a lumpectomy, probably radiation but no chemo, they said it would kill her due to her age.
It returned when she was 84 but this time it had already spread. She went to 3 respected doctors in Ohio who all said chemo. I was highly against it, they wanted her as a test subject because people were living longer. They needed someone like her to study because she was healthy, living a very active life, still driving. One chemo the Monday before Thanksgiving backfired, she went to the ER, then transferred to hospice where she was flat on her back for 3 months waiting to die. It was already in her lungs Thanksgiving week, so it took that long to over take her body.
I don't doubt Kendra suffered a similar fate, laying in bed, too weak to get up, waiting to die.
At another forum I go to, someone posted about a person getting a brain wave study when they started suffering stroke and died. Their brain had spikes in certain parts which are associated with memories. They think that the person's life was flashing in their brain as they laid dying. If this is true, possible Eric was one of the last things Kendra thought about as her body was shutting down. I like to think that Eric told her she wasn't going to heaven for what she had done to him, maybe he pushed her to the fire...
