Sounds to me like the father could be experiencing a psychotic break and perhaps fled his home to escape the "people after him" or "the CIA" or something similiarly delusional. Hopefully they are okay, if it is mental health I really hope he gets the help he needs.

Kind of weird they left grandma and the pets behind to die I guess? If grandma hadn't been found wandering the neighborhood how long would they have gone without care before anyone realized the family was missing?

I guess the upside is that this makes it more likely the family could still be alive. Family annihilators don't usually leave living loose ends like that.

You mean Bill Cooper? While Jones might have modeled himself after Bill, he definitely wasn't mentored by him. Bill Cooper hated Alex Jones and would frequently call him out as a fake or government plant.

Ah! Both names are correct, and thank you for correcting me. Whatever article or essay I was reading, I must have misconstrued it

My dad will repeatedly tell me he's not a conspiracy nut like Alex Jones because Alex Jones is the plant in place to make "real" conspiracy theorists look crazy. Dad said he never followed him but he sure did buy his 9/11 Truther DVDs...also he believes 95% the same nonsense that Jones sells.

Ah...those failing mental faculties.
