On Saturday, Martha Tate called police to file a missing-person report. She had not heard from her son, she said, and her gut told her "something was wrong."
He was a good swimmer, she said, adding that he would have called her if he had successfully evaded police.
She and her husband searched the woods all weekend for Hall.
She said she eventually lied to police, telling them her son was mentally retarded, so they would intensify their search efforts.
The Post has a good article, complete with a not so good pic of Mike Evans.
