Right. Or the possibility that the son is being dishonest about knowing about his mother being missing. Even though there are more relatives other than the man who just lost his wife having to be responsible for calling everyone while not having a computer or phone. Perhaps he did ask someone to inform the son, and it took whoever he asked that long to tell him. This is an older man btw. He may not use Facebook, or even be that aware of it.Well, a different perspective maybe.
He does have a daughter. Likely his daughter is on social media. Likely RT knew BT’s family overseas. He could have said “hey daughter, do you think you could find so and so on Facebook and message them and ask for phone number”?
Tons of ways to get in contact with people without phone numbers. No excuse.
No excuse? I can think of some. But for some people that have close knit families and use social media a lot, I can see why they find it impossible to wrap their heads around. Again I say, we’re not all the same, and judging people by expecting that we are does a disservice in the chance that he actually did lose a disoriented wife in the desert.
I hope law enforcement follows up all leads and does not get the tunnel vision that I see in places here. It makes me feel afraid. Trial by the media and public is a terrifying phenomenon to me.
