I'm certainly glad for his family's sake that he is alive and apparently well. But it sure sounds like he disappeared of his own volition and that boo-boo cost a lot of taxpayer money, not to mention police time.

Not to mention what he deliberately put his family through, in fact he did disappear of his own volition.

WHy should we be nice if we do find out that he wasn't abducted, and intentionally put his family through this?

If I knew those were the facts you better believe I'd be posting it..

Well, whatever the case may be, he was forced or he went on his own will, his family did not ask to have this happen to them. They did not ask to "become famous" or have others "peek into their personal life". They simply used the media to help get the word out there and help find a loved one. Now he's been found, and he's alright. But it's inevitable the media coverage is not just going to just stop there. Not until all questions are answered or it's no longer under investigation.

I'm sure his family is going through so many emotions right now. We just need to keep them in our thoughts and prayers. Imagine if that was your father/husband/or other family member...

I'll be waiting... :whistle:

This person (MB) isn't a member here. If he was, then I could see giving him a break, but he made the papers and it's been all over the news...fair game.

Hey, Enquiring minds want to know. :shrug:

I'll tell you what fuels it is the, "Um...here's what happened.....mmm...no, *here* is what happened......er...well....*this* is what happened....really...."

If the guy would just come clean right off the bat, there would be no story and nothing to talk about. Everyone would go, "Huh. Isn't that some stuff?" and move on, nothing to see here, folks. But he's giving the press some silly abduction story to keep his wife from kicking his ass for him, so there you go.

If you were kidnapped and got free from your abductor what would you do first?

1) Call the cops

2) Phone home
3) Look at an atlas while sitting in a van, until a police officer comes along and asks if you need assistance :whistle:

I read in the paper that he was kidnapped, and the captor made him drive out there.. Then he took off leaving him in the middle of nowhere.. If I was kidnapped I'm sure he wouldn't make me drive that far..

Per the washington Post......

St. Mary's optometrist missing for more than a week turned up in Alabama, although it remained unclear how he got there.

Marcel Williams Brooks Sr., 60, of Mechanicsville was last seen in Maryland on March 24. His family reported him missing after he failed to show up at Andrews Air Force Base, where he was scheduled to meet his wife, Anne. She and other family members and friends combed the area for a week, putting up fliers and talking to convenience store clerks and others.

As days went by, they feared the worst. One of Marcel Brooks's sons, an employee of Verizon Communications, was able to determine that his father's cellphone had quit making calls March 24.

On Monday, a Brewton, Ala., police officer saw a man who appeared to be reading a map while parked by the side of the road, said Sgt. Russell Martin of the Brewton Police Department. The driver identified himself as Marcel Brooks and said he was trying to get to Tuskegee, Ala., where he planned to visit a friend in a veterans hospital, Martin said.

The officer ran a check of Brooks's name, and he came back listed as a missing person. At the police station, Brooks provided a different account, saying that he had gone to buy a lottery ticket in the District, where a man with a gun holster told him to take him to Mexico, Martin said. Brooks also told police that the man left the vehicle in Mobile, Ala.

Authorities said they have no reason to suspect foul play. As of Tuesday evening, several of Brooks's family members were planning to meet with Brooks near Brewton, and accompany him home, a family member said Tuesday.
