"Police now believe that a northwest Indiana eye doctor missing since March is dead and they have named her 38-year-old son as a "person of interest" who may have been involved in her disappearance."

FINALLY! I've always suspected as much. It would be much more comforting, however, if he was actually charged and his mother's body was found.

MOO

I've been lurking- followed this case for a long time, though never posted on it. I have always believed Dr. M-P's son was a person of interest. I found it odd that he disappeared around the same time his mom did, but cropped up in CA later, while his car was still in IN, missing a license plate. I always wondered if Dr. M-P's son did something terrible to his mom, put his CA plate on her car, and drove back to CA, which is where the police eventually found him.

I pray that justice is served, and is swift.
