Casey Kasem is missing, at least to everyone in his life except, possibly, his wife, Jean.
Kasem, 82, is suffering from advanced Parkinson’s Disease and can no longer speak. There have been a number of incidences over the years where Casey’s three children from a previous marriage have claimed that they were blocked from seeing their father by Jean Kasem.
They now fear that Jean has taken Casey out of the country so that they cannot see him before he passes away. According to the New York Daily News, Kasem had been in an adult care facility until last week when Jean took him out and allegedly transported him to either an Indian Reservation in the state of Washington or Canada. Daughter Kerri told the paper “He’s very ill and fragile right now. He would need an airplane with special medical services. In my opinion, this is something only someone with severe mental illness would do.”
On Monday, a judge ordered an investigation into Kasem’s whereabouts. Judge Daniel S. Murphy ordered a court investigator and adult protective services to locate the former host and report back to the court along with appointing daughter Kerri as temporary caretaker. The judge also appointed a doctor to look into Kasem’s care.
A previous filing, made last week, accused Jean Kasem of elder abuse by making it so that Casey could not see his children.
