Casey Kasem Missing: "I Have No Idea"

Radio legend Casey Kasem is missing

It is very difficult to believe someone who says "I have no idea" about something pressing.  It is sometimes the bane of the intellectually lazy, while at other times, it is deceptive.  Statements are in quotations, with emphasis added.  Statement Analysis is added to the AP article, using bold type. 

Does he have an idea that he is out of the United States?  The previous sentence indicates a belief that he is not in the United States; indicating that he does have an idea.  It is very difficult to believe this statement about having "no idea" about where Kasem is.  
The judge does not believe the "I have no idea" statement.  
People use this when this wish to deceive. 
“Justice has been served today,” she said.

It's sad how one bad apple can ruin everything. I remember listening to him on the radio; "I'm Casey Kasem and we're counting down the biggest hits this week". Hope he is found and this time, a judge takes his children's concerns seriously. When a vulnerable adult disappears, no matter who they're with and the kids aren't privy to the location, it is a very big deal.

Thanks Peter

Isn't it funny how one thought connects with another. After reading this post Barry Gordy's old song "Money (That's What I Want) popped into my mind.

There is always 2 sides to every story. Sadly, something I have learned is that the judicial system doesn't always flush out the morally right.

5 ys old girl makes 911 call. says "I think she can't talk to you" about her injuered 90yr old babysitter. instinctually showing no deception! if she had hurt her babysitter herself - she's likely say conclusively "she can't talk to you" -- right? cool/

from :

Jean Kasem's attorney, Craig Marcus, said he had "no idea" where Casey Kasem is, only that he is out of the country. His children think he may be on a Washington State Indian reservation. "Jean was talking to her niece in Washington on the phone," says Julie Kasem, "saying, 'I need an Indian reservation with a private airstrip and I want to bring Casey there.' Her nephew overheard and immediately alerted Kerri [Kasem, Julie's sister]. We're all sort of family, in a twisted way."

from :

Could 82-year-old pop culture icon Casey Kasem be somewhere in the northern reaches of Washington state on the Colville Reservation?
The Colville Reservation is served by a small municipal airport in the town of Omak, 50 miles away.

Kerri says she is desperate to locate her ailing father and posted this message on her Facebook page: "Please pray that he is safe."

"Are you worried for his safety?" asked Moret.

"Absolutely. He is in no condition to be driving across state lines, flying out of the country, being moved here and there in the back seat of a car. That's just criminal," said Kerri.
Kerri concluded, "We have to find my dad."

I'm glad Casey Kasem has been found and that he is OK.

However, in all fairness to Jean Kasem's lawyer, sometimes attorneys really do not know where their clients are. I have had clients of my own who didn't show up at court hearings when they were supposed to. Sometimes they moved without leaving any forwarding address or other contact information (in civil cases) or they fled the jurisdiction (in criminal cases) and I literally have "no idea" where they were except by process of elimination i.e. I had an idea that they were not at the hearing because I could see that they were not. I have gone so far as to hire investigators to track down my own clients. It is very frustrating when this happens, although on one occasion it turned out that my client had not shown up for his deposition because he had died so obviously he had a very good excuse.

Why do people say, "there is ALWAYS two sides to every story? Isn't it possible that one party is telling the complete story truthfully?
