MISSING MAN FOUND ALIVE AFTER 23 YEARS! The Case of Richard Hoagland

Drug possession: 8 years in prison.

[@thatblondechick]

So so sad to hear that letter written by his adult son. I can only imagine the pain those children went through. It must have been an absolute nightmare. Not to mention never having a body to bury to have closure. And then dad just reappears out of nowhere. Shocking! The lengths some humans go to escape situations instead of being just honest and upfront.

[@shaz8486]

Disgusting cowards, all that money and property he now had should have been shared with his first wife, as she was stuck with all that debt and no child support. At least some of his assets should have been given to her, what a creep that man is!

[@thatblondechick]

Totally agree. And the kids in the middle of the situation and his unassuming “widow” just had to move on with life. I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been!!!

[@darrylkinslow5613]

If you think about it, they shouldn't have any pain from it. He left when they were little kids, as an adult they'd barely remember him.

[@maggiekarabel123]

My cousins grew up in the same neighborhood as the Hoaglands. The way Linda was treated was just shameful. What those kids went through is absolutely ridiculous, HOW can you be this selfish?

[@Harley-iy8vk]

@@darrylkinslow5613 imagine growing up knowing your father is missing and presumed dead. That’s all you know. No matter how much they remember him; they still think their dads dead and have no clue what happened to him. They also saw their mother struggle through life with all the debt and raising them on her own. Then all of a sudden he’s back with a whole new family and it turns out he just didn’t want you anymore. It would hurt like hell. It has been shown that growing up without a father-like figure can cause emotional damage to children.

[@krodriguez0]

It’s insane to me how parents can just do this,my father left for 10 years without anyone having contact with him n when the police tracked him down he acted like he didn’t see any wrong in his decision to leave n he still doesn’t.People like this are heartless and need serious prison time for the pain they caused to everyone involved.

[@jennyB07]

Damnnnn your dad is pure trash

[@AmberLlovetify]

My father left for the 2nd and final time when I was 13 - I didn't see him again until I was 27. He had zero sense of remorse or shame. 1st time he left I was 5: he went to work and didn't come home, the family car was abandoned by the water front, and he'd got a flight back to his home country. He was gone for 2 years. These "people" need serious punishment; there is no justice for people raised like us.

[@MargaridaMmakeup]

i think they need serious psychological help honestly. a healthy person would never do or think that way about leaving his own family behind and act like nothing happened

The statute of limitations is such a nonsense rule. Its like you're rewarding a criminal for getting away with it for so long. Its the justice system saying, whelp, you got us good, you deserve to walk free 🤷‍♀️

[@fodaseyoutub1]

It's the justice system recognizing that after decades, evidence is lost. Innocent people go to jail even as it is, what do you think would happen if police started prossecuting crimes from 50 years ago when all evidence to prove your innocence has probably been lost. Did you even bother to research why things are the way they are?

[@Dee-JayW]

It is bizarre that the USA has statute of limitations on many crimes! Why??

[@julielevinge266]

Don’t think it exists anywhere else????

[@policethepolice4794]

It's completely wrong there should be no time frame. After all there is a time frame on trauma

[@mattmcrae1458]

As a United States citizen you have rights in the legal system Right to confront witnesses against you, right to a trial by a jury of your peers. Be free from cruel and unusual punishment and rights to Due Process under the law. The longer it takes for you to be charged with something, the more those rights are impinged. Witnesses die, memories and exculpatory evidence is lost. Alibis are harder to prove. So we set time limits to balance prosecution with protection of rights. You can file charges against someone, say for SA against John Doe an unknown person at this time and it will stay the tolling of the statue of limitations until that person can be identified.

[@maggiekarabel123]

OMG I can’t believe you did this case! My cousins grew up with the Hoagland kids and this was a huge shock. Especially when the mother started being blamed. She wasn’t a perfect parent, no one is, but she did NOT kill him.

What a monstrous thing to do to both of his families and the dead person whose identity he stole. And what kind of stupid bureaucracy issues a birth certificate for a person with a death certificate? The whole disaster could have been shut down right there.

[@jessicablacknall]

The birth and death certificate I could understand a bit. My sister has passed and if I needed a copy of her birth certificate for anything, a few years ago I could have taken the death certificate in to show that I'm handling the affairs of a deceased person and need a certified copy of that record. The law in my state only recently changed to where applicants have to show ID and proof of relation to obtain that. Other states may be farther behind in that regard. He could have claimed to be a family member needing a copy.

I mean, sometimes they declare dead people who are still alive and they have to fight extremely hard to fix the systems mistakes

They were played mentally. They grieved his loss then 23 years later he pops up like a f*cking jack n the box & that cop calling Linda like nope he's not dead he's in jail. Omg!!
