She said officers showed her surveillance video from outside the missing 84-year-old’s home and asked whether she recognized the clothing worn by the person in the footage. “They showed me a video to see if it was him, to see … if I recognize the things he was wearing. He doesn’t have any of that. He doesn’t have anything that comes in the video,” she said.
When asked if the person in the footage resembled her son-in-law, she responded, “No, it doesn’t look like him. No, not at all.”
She also said her son-in-law has not been “in trouble” since he was a minor.
