I have no siblings, and was living in Oklahoma when my dad passed in September last year. My aunt took my mom somewhere and refuses to tell anyone even the police what she did with her. I've now moved back to Memphis when she is from, but I have no money for an attorney or even a job at this point. My mother had no money, so I don't understand why my aunt is doing this. My mother had been incapacitated from a stroke since 2007. How can I find out if my aunt has POA, and if so how to challenge it. Please help I need to find my mother. Thank you so much.
Also like another post asked is your aunt suffering from any mental illlness? this is a very very tough situation isnt there anyone from her family who may know what happened?
Your aunt must have told some lies about you if they wont give you info. I would try everything maybe radio OR churches?
WHY won't the police accept a missing person's report? Your mother has vanished from her house apparently w/o a trace - that's a missing person. Try the state police as well.
Cracked eggs on the stove? This sounds more like an abduction. Your mother was living at home, right? Were she and your aunt on good terms? Was there any reason why your mother would willingly go with your aunt without telling you? I'm assuming your mother hasn't contacted you at all?
I don't know what court would have jurisdiction over a missing person until law enforcement have proof that someone did in fact take her against her will.
How do you do know that your aunt took your mother?
Are you sure the police aren't telling you because your mother doesn't want you to know? If they knew that she was in a specific hospital, they obviously had some information on her. It just doesn't make sense to me that they wouldn't share that with you.
What about your uncle? Is he living with your aunt and have you gone to wherever that is?
When was the last time you had any contact with your mother?
I just keep thinking there's a lot more to this situation than meets the eye.
There is no quick solution to this, just steady day after day research. If you have a picture of your Mother, post it on Facebook and contact the local media.
You have a place to stay, if the house is livable and now you must find a job and show you are serious about becoming a productive citizen. Best wishes in finding your Mom; I cannot fathom how stressful this must be for you.
Did your Dad have a Will? If it was probated that is public info. Contact your local legal aid society for assistance. They will at least be able to tell you if there is anything you can do at this point. If your Mom receives Social Security or any kind of pension benefits, etc.; they have to be going somewhere.
There's a reason why your mother left the home in such a hurry that food was left in the fridge and eggs on the table. Perhaps her sister was monitoring your status and learned of your release.
I agree with others - you're going to have to go straight, get a job, and prove yourself. If you were in prison from 2007 until this year, or even last year, that's a pretty significant sentence, either for a serious first offense or a repeat offense, or perhaps a capital offense. If either of the latter 2 options (and/or if the crime was against a person and not property), the family would understandably be leary of your presence in the family unit.
You've written that your mother is dying; how do you know? I still ask how you know that your aunt took your mother?
You might alternately suggest that you meet with your mother on neutral grounds, in a public place, so that either your aunt or your uncle can accompany her. That may give them some confidence that you and your mother won't be alone.
