How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later

[@WhisperingJohn]

The wife could have spent 23 years in jail for his 'murder'. How scary is that.

Not really correct, Dez. Many people have been jailed on circumstantial evidence. No body. No murder weapon. No evidence except 'we think you did it.'

No social security benefits for the children, no life insurance, no help with food and so much more. The wife is left with all the financial debt. Back in the 60’s women were not allowed to have a bank account or credit card without the signature of her husband. Any man or woman that does this should be thrown in prison.

If someone was found out to have stolen property or cheated on their spouse then they would be dragged into the center of their village and the residents would all throw rocks at them and beat them to death.

My aunt vanished like this and was declared dead. It happened way before I was born. She and her two year old daughter just vanished one day, along with the babies father. Foul play was suspected, especially when they found my two year old cousin abandoned in a orphanage across the country months and months later. My aunt never used her social security number after that. After police gave up, my grandmother hired private detectives, who never found a trace. Over 15 years later, my grandmother gets a letter from New Mexico. My aunt is alive, and it said "by the time you read this, I will be on my way driving to Michigan to visit" I was like 8. All I knew is suddenly, days before Christmas, my dad announced we were spending Christmas in Florida. We didnt have the kind of money for vacations. Christmas morning we opened presents and packed up and drove to Florida. I found out when I was older, that when my dad found out that my aunt had been alive this entire time, had abandoned her daughter for her mother to raise, he was enraged and refused to be in the state when she showed up. She never explained what happened. Never gave even her own mother any answers for what happened, where she went, why she was gone, why new Mexico? I started getting gifts in the mail, my aunt had signed me and my little sister up for these "animal of the month" clubs, we got different books about different animals each month and this binder to put the cards about the animals in. That is when my parents had to sit us down and explain my dad had a sister, he had never told us(well never told me and my sister, my mom knew lol). Then a year and a half later, my uncle died and my aunt came here for the funeral. I met her for the first time. She looked significantly older than my dad, her skin just looked like she lived a really rough life. She had this deep scratchy voice that scared me and I've always wondered what those 15+ years were like. Was she trafficked? Was she running from a crime and came back because the statute of limitations ran out? Was she harmed? She's still alive but she will never give answers to those questions

When my aunt resurfaced, she tried to start a relationship with her daughter again but it didn't really work out. The fact that she won't even tell my cousin what happened, when my cousin disappeared with her, is so wild to me. I can't imagine how confusing that had to be for my cousin, when the mother she assumed was dead, suddenly came to visit for Christmas and didn't want to explain where she had been for the last 15+ years of her life.

And said that they only found out they were second family (only the children, the second wife knew it all along) when they applied for death insurance and my grandmother was still listed as his wife on paper. P.S. they also left their two other children in my mom's home town in young age before they disappeared. Sadly the younger girl died as what my mom said and until now they didn't have a clue where the other one who is a boy maybe in his 40's now. After that they had 3 other children and they graduated with a degree in college while my mom and her other 8 siblings grew up struggling in poverty with my grandmother who worked hard for them to survive.

I feel so bad for his 1st family, what a betrayal, and I feel bad for his second family, they have been living a lie. He ruined so many lives, I hope he gets what he deserves.

How do you know they were his FIRST family?

[@chriscornelius2518]

I commend this guy. He may be a crappy person who walked out on his family, but he managed to create another life, with a wife and another child. He had a few big lies but his overall life seemed to be one of accomplishment.

He is now out, and came back with his first family he plidge mental illness. Its ok now

I found this video after watching an episode of Disappeared about a man named Robert Hoagland who also disappeared by choice leaving his wife and children that's interesting that they share a last name and both disappeared also Robert changed his name to Richard King so they also share a first name

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

[@Surftouka]

I love his former MIL, "He can't stand to be confined in any one place & now he can't go anywhere? It kind of tickles me a little bit!" Tickles me a lot Grandma! It took a long time but he finally got what he had coming...now all of his estates & $$$ should pass on to the wife & son he abandoned. That would tickle me pink!

[@nunyabiznes3901]

I think she was HIS mom. That’s what makes her statement so funny 😂

[@lightsaber111161]

In February 2017, Hoagland pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated identity theft. He served nearly two years in federal prison before returning to Indiana in April. Meanwhile, his wife pursued him in court for child support. Earlier this month, a judge in Hamilton County Indiana decided Hoagland owes his wife and sons $1.86 million, the Star reported. "I was glad that we finally had made it to that point where he would be held accountable for his behavior," Linda Iseler told the Star. Douglas Hoagland, also out of custody, was on hand for the recent court hearing. It was the first time he had seen his father since 1993. "If you think you had two kids and you wanted to see them so bad, you think you'd be a little bit emotional," Douglas recalled to the Star. "But this guy, nothing." It's unclear if Iseler and her sons will get any money from the judgment. Hoagland's assets are tied up in divorce proceedings with his Florida wife.

Technically their not actually married because he used a name that wasn't even his. He was already married, when he got married rendering the new marriage null and void.

how do you use a death certificate to get a birth certificate? isn't that in itself suspicious

[@patricksmith2473]

He probably used the personal information off the death certificate to request an official replacement birth certificate.

+porsche187 Sometimes you require the birth certificate of a dead relative, if you don't have the original they can created you a new one.

[@lucymanet3297]

Yeah, and she said "She's my daughter - so of course I'm going to help her". That contrasted with her AWOL son-in-law who created the need for her to help her daughter. He utterly abandoned his responsibility to his wife and to help HIS children even letting his 6 & 9 yo sons think he was dead. The man has NO CLASS, NO CHARACTER. Just lived for his own wants, never mind his family's needs or even basic human decency.

[@marcalexander7851]

I know how you feel when your dad not in your life when you are young.Lonely n lost. 17 yrs later I went to live with him. He was rich, n greedy. He was selfish. I be broke while drove n had money on him. I was 23yo lived with him 2 yrs. No privacy.Bought a house cash.But wouldn't help his own son with money.Sadly I left him. You can't teach old dog new tricks. Years later he was killed brutal way. Broke my heart! I still miss him. RIP

[@Nicole215]

This is exactly why you always have an emergency savings account if you're a stay at home mom--one that he doesn't know about. Don't depend 100% on anyone to provide for you because of situations like this. It's the sad truth. There are so many stories of men just walking out on their wives and children. It's utterly insane. So if you're a stay-at-home mom, be sure to stash the weekly allowance he's giving you (LOL) and get a side hustle.

[@AppleSlicesUnite]

@rumpleforeskin73 Both men and women can be shady in a marriage but there are good wives and good husbands out there who go forward believing and trusting %100, losing themselves by handing over all of their trust to the other. What the "poster of this thread" was saying is, neither one of you should have %100 trust. Each person should be able to take care of themselves so when anything happens, even if one gets sick, the marriage won't fall apart.
