Mysterious disappearance

I had thought David Rasif ran off with the whole family but no, according to the Chinese WanBao, my ever trusty source of insider news (er..gossip), his wife is in the dark totally and frantically trying to reach him too. It seems he and Joyce had lunch with his colleagues on Friday and then they went to Bangkok for a break. He told his wife he still had some matters to settle and had to stay on, so she flew back alone to Singapore on Monday. Soon after, she heard people are trying to find him over some financial matters; troubles which she had no inkling of until then. His eldest daughter of 12 has been in tears since knowing the father has gone missing.

I had a conversation with TK and expressed my puzzlement as to why David left his family behind.
If it is a deliberate act of dishonesty, his plan of 'escape' does not seem very well planned unless he can be so heartless as to leave his family behind forever. That is such a big weak spot. His phones can be tapped or mail read, it is too easy to trace him once he tries to contact his family.TK countered that, well, how is anyone to know if he wants his family anymore, they could be on the brink of a divorce, etc. So many other possible reasons. Yeah right, like maybe she is the one who finished him off somewhere and is the one who has the money. TK doesn't think the police in other countries will bother to nab him for sgp. I am thinking for the client.. for a client this rich, if he cannot use the law to bring him back, what is to stop him from hiring assassins.

Also imagine, what if David had only wanted a few days to clear his mind of the recent troubles and had gone for a retreat, not realising his face has been splashed across the front page of the newspapers. To surface back to society and be faced with the shock that he is a wanted man, viewed guilty more than ever, despite the headlines "..suspected of.." It would be quite horrifying because it is impossible to retrace your steps and be cleared of the stigma.

Such wicked imaginations we have.

So I guess we just have to wait for the truth in this mysterious case to emerge. I find it hard to believe he could throw away years of good reputation and the trust of his many friends and resorted to this. Is it gambling or a momentary lost of judgement? For things to be blown this big, I don't think now he is totally innocent. And some people in the newspapers sure don't like him.

I have a feeling they will find him.
