Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard says the parents of Ethan Crumbley, the 15-year-old student accused of killing four people and injuring eight others, have gone “missing.”
The revelation comes after Oakland County Prosecuting Attorney Karen McDonald announced charges against Jennifer Crumbley and James Crumbley, the parents of the suspect.
McDonald charged each parent with four counts of involuntary manslaughter after Tuesday’s shooting at Oxford High School.
But on Friday, Bouchard confirmed to CNN that the couple is “missing.”
CNN’s Victor Blackwell asked the sheriff, “Where are the Crumbley’s?”
“As a matter of fact, that’s a question our detectives are working on right now,” Bouchard responded. He added that an attorney representing the parents told Law Enforcement officials that they would “make arrangements to have them arrested” if charges were brought.
He continued, “When we were informed the prosecutor had issued charges, we sent detectives out and got a call from the lawyer from the couple saying they’re not returning her calls or texts. So, if they think they’re going to get away, they’re not.”
