WA WA - Pamela Kuich, 42, Pierce County, 20 June 2005

[SewingDeb]

I have stories like this.

I've seen this about 5 times. Among my friends and neighbors and myself, this goes on. Parents who just dump kids, and state they'll be back in a couple hours, and whoosh, they're gone for several days. And their kids are totally pleasant, they eat whatever is given them, and never ask for their parents. Ever. They just pleasantly do what they're told to do. It's bizarre.

Once a preschool classmate's of my son's mom called me, and said her son was asking to get together with my son, I said oh how sweet and she says okay I'll be right there. She brings the 4 year old and a 2 year old with an apparent broken leg. I said oh my he's limping she says he's fine with tylenol and runs off. The next DAY, when I called and said I'm worried and I'm about to call the police, a grandmother shows up and collects the kids without a word and drives off.

God. Prayers for this abandoned boy.

I've seen some of this kind of behavior, too. I don't understand it because when I say I will be back in two hours, I will be back in two hours. I've also talked with a mother who suddenly decided to go see her sister in another state and took her daughter and her daughter's friend (both 10 years old) with her without calling the friends parents to ask if it was alright. She finally called them the next day at the prompting of her sister and was really surprised that they had been worried out of their minds. To this day (3 years later) she just cannot understand their anger...says they knew her and should have known their daughter was ok with her. SHEESH! I would have taken charges out on her.

I have no idea the age and condition of the grandmother, but if this were my grandchild, he would be with me now, not in Child Protective Services.

Amen.

And, he also has a 19 yr. old sister, doesn't he?

I don't understand why he isn't with the grandmother or sister either. I know for sure my oldest daughter would take her sisters in a heartbeat. It may be that the sister isn't able to provide for them yet; she's still pretty young. The grandmother maybe has health problems that would make it impossible. I just hope he gets what he deserves out of life.

Police are still looking for Bobby's mother.

I find it very odd that police arrested the father on 112th street and he didn't have anything to do with Bobby being abandoned, or the mothers disappearance.
The church they were staying at is in downtown Tacoma. About 8 miles from where the boy was found. Why would the father be arrested on the exact same street as the church 2 days later?
I'm sure the police have to be thinking the same thing, but they aren't saying much at all.

Details of Disappearance​

Kuich was last seen with her boyfriend, Robert Dalton Tucksen, at her parents' home in Pierce County, Washington on June 19, 2005. She has never been heard from again.

The day after her disappearance, Kuich and Tucken's two-year-old son was found abandoned in an outdoor stairwell at the First Baptist Church in the 1000 block of 112th Street south in Parkland, Washington. He had been left there with a cheeseburger and a cup of water.

He was sunburned and dirty but otherwise in good condition. Photographs of him were broadcast on the news in hopes that someone would recognize him. Tucksen's mother identified him as her grandson.

Police arrested Tucksen three days later, while he was on his way to work, for an unrelated probation violation in Oregon. He has an extensive criminal record, including allegations of violence against Kuich. When questioned about Kuich's disappearance and their son's abandonment, he said he had had an argument with Kuich a few days before, she took off with the child, and he hadn't seen either of them since. He claimed he was unaware that Kuich was missing or that their son had been found abandoned.

Tucksen was extradited to Oregon and the child was placed in a foster home by Child Protective Services. There has been no sign of Kuich and an extensive investigation has turned up no clues as to her whereabouts.

She had no money, car or job at the time of her disappearance; she had been living in a tent in the woods near Tucksen's place of work and had previously lived in various shelters and hotels in the area. Tucksen stated she had dropped out of sight for short period before but always came back to him. A photo of Tucksen is posted with this case summary.

In December 2010, Tucksen was arrested for second-degree murder in the June 2010 death of an acquaintance, Zachariah Wright. Wright was stabbed to death and his house set on fire. Tucksen had been publicly sought for questioning since the murder, but avoided police for more than six months by hiding in the woods near Joint Base Lewis-McChord. He is awaiting trial.

Kuich's mother stated she was a devoted parent who would not have abandoned her son. Authorities believe she may be dead. She is originally from Newport, Oregon. Her case remains unsolved.
