Everyone’s a Little Slower in Kansas

Yeah. Sure! Of course it should take you 10 years to report a missing person. That’s what any normal person would do. The parents “feel remorse”? No, you feel remorse if you wait an hour thinking that your 11 year old kid is going to come back home. Remorse is taken out of the equation starting on hour two.

I’m sure the judge will be lenient since the parents “feel very guilty” about it. So guilty in fact that they were able to live kid-free for a decade! If your 11-year old kid runs away and it’s been 10 years since you’ve heard from him, then you clearly don’t give a rat’s ass about him. Period. End of story. Just admit that you loved the free time you had and suffer the consequences like any other good piece of white trash from rural Kansas.

I wonder what “answer” those shrewed detectives found out?

“Yup Billy Bob. I confirmed it. He’s not in the trailer. Don’t tell anyone though. It’s the only Goddamn thing we know about any of this. We have to pretend we have a clue what we are doing.”
