Sad its the way it is and I agree with you hootie. Most others wouldn't get the same "attention".

This task force wouldn't even be a consideration if it wasn't Joe Lee Sr's boy. Seriously...how many other sons have disappeared in Saline Co pretty much forgotten about as cold cases? I hope they find this man, but the whole aspect of this 'task force' is insulting to those who don't get the same efforts.

Is a Task Force something like a search party?

He was reported missing within the first week. This is a followup.

In reading the article it seems he, Joey, was prone to being gone for days without letting people know where he had gone... so, I can understand not calling the police right a way, but three weeks? There is more to this story than just a missing person. I agree with the other posts a photo would be nice.

I have to agree with twkmaster & mapleman on this one. Waiting 3 weeks for police to report the son missing when all his day-to-day stuff is still at home seems a little abnormal. And then Fox16 reporting on the story with no photo or even a basic description of the guy... wtf? Are they just letting us know that he's missing or do they want the public's help to find him? If it's the latter, I'm just gonna use my own super sleuthing abilities to deduce from the story what I can: Since he didn't show up for work he's probably somewhere between the age of 16 & 72?

He's been missing for 3 weeks and they're just now announcing his dissapearance? There's a WHOLE lot more to this story than is apparant.

Any chance that a staffer might sleuth out a photo? It would be tons easier to spot him if we had something to guide us.
