I hope they find this man dead at his own hands so he will go straight to HELL where he belongs and that is a fact.
Did they happen to look for his car in the closet river somewhere with him in it?
If they find him alive that just means he has to go on trial and money will be spent to find him guilty and then he will have to go to jail and we have to spend more money to feed him and clothe him and that just not fair because the people he killed don’t have a life because he took it away and that would not be fair at all and that is a fact.
