If anyone can advise me it would be helpful. I am specifically wondering if this could be the biological father of my son.
According to his siblings he has been missing since 2008. However I guess they didn't really consider him missing until he never turned up again a few years later because he had a history of disappearing for up to a year at a time. By the time they realised this was different he had been gone for so long that they didn't really know who to contact and so they just... Didn't.
They both live out of state. I have been searching for him for my son since approx 2010. Only in 2013 did I find out that I wasn't the only one who couldn't find him.
But the thing is... I haven't seen him since 1996. At this point I have accumulated a lot of assorted conjecture and small bits of info from various friends and family but nothing solid. My son was adopted by my husband so the fact is that legally neither my son nor I have any legal connection to him.
His actual next of kin is a wife who also has not seen or heard from him since around 2000. She feels uncomfortable being the one to contact the police- either to simply report him as a missing person or in direct connection with this case.
Finally I have realized that I'm the only one actively doing anything with this. So- I started a name us case for him and I am trying to figure out how best to proceed. I wish I wasn't the one that has to do this...
But with regard to this case- it should be extremely easy to ID him if there is a body due to a genetic disorder that caused some physical anomalies.
