		<description>My take after many , many hours of research.

FIRST OFF - Believe none of what you hear , and 1/2 of what you see....

    I feel this story is doing exactly what the McStays want..
I am not saying I am right and every other theory is wrong , but I feel some OBVIOUS points need to be made about this case..

1. NOTHING POINTS TO FOUL-PLAY...PEROID.

2. There is ZERO information about this man&#039;s wife , besides the fact that there are no pictures of her without shades on , the fact she has had numerous names , no birth certificate , NO NOTHING. 

3. Can someone show me an example of someone who has a wife and 3 kids Facebook page , that doesn&#039;t include one photo of his wife? I don&#039;t think so..

4. On the official Facebook page , the brother NEVER responds to any questions that can easily be answered , that could help the case. BUT , he can plug the mcstay site a million times , everywhere and ask for &quot;donations&quot; , that are &quot;going through a 3rd party , for search efforts etc...&quot; , yet , the tower has been pinged , and the area NEVER searched.. And PayPal is definitely not a third party , more of a wire type deal ... 

5. $1,000 dollar reward? This case has been broadcasted WORLDWIDE ... I want to know how much &quot;donation&quot; money Mike McStay has accumulated since the &quot;dissaperence&quot;....

6. The father has been arrested on FRAUD charges and extricated to Louisiana , and is currently in jail.

7. WHO WAS THE WIFE?????

8. Who would leave 100k in the bank and &quot;take off&quot; , without feeding their dogs ? SOMEONE OR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO LEAVE , AND CREATE NEWS JUST LIKE THIS. No bloggers or onlineers lived with this family , no one online knows what was really going on in this man&#039;s (family&#039;s) life , and I don&#039;t care how &quot;normal&quot; they look , looks can be deceiving . I feel they knew EXACTLY what they were doing , and sadly to sayi feel the family knows EXACTLY where they are. They most likely had a reason to disappear . And they did a hell of a good job doing that..

   Who would kill someone and drive there car 78 miles and park it at the border , knowing they could be pulled over / caught on camera ? The &quot;killer&quot; most likely  wouldn&#039;t assume it would take over a week for the family to realize the entire family was missing , so I don&#039;t buy any of that. Even in the car , ZERO evidence was found. Mexico searches , Craigslist , money in the bank , all just seems like a great setup to &quot;disappear&quot; and make it LOOK LIKE &quot;foul play&quot;
  
 Now I am not saying that nothing horLrible happened to the family ( I pray it didn&#039;t ) , but this would not surprise me to be a HUGE news story in the coming years , as one of the biggest BS schemes ever in history. I can&#039;t imagine how many have &quot;donated&quot; to the &quot;search&quot; that never happened !

   I&#039;m sure the police know a lot more than the public , and know they are alive , because they ARE STILL LISTED &quot;Voulenterally Missing&quot;</description>

		<description>I am just curious if anything new has come up reguarding the McStay family?  This is such a bazarre case!!  Why would a whole family just up and leave his business, their new home and everything else behind?  Is the business still in operation?  I hope whatever happened that they are still together as a family and are happy together.</description>

		<description>Just saw the program on E and was so shocked by it all that I hardly slept a wink all night.  I  kept thinking more about the poor heartbroken relatives that they left behind to live a life of  hell...... Im sure one of the McStays had been hiding something that suddenly came to the surface ....thus making the other one a partner in crime ...or it could have been a serious health issue.   Obviously the police have lots more info. but Im curious to know who knocked on the door very late one night while Summers was on the phone??    She shouted to her husband to answer the door and was annoyed that someone would come to her door at such a late hour....Did we ever get a follow up on that?  I just hope this program has opened the eyes of the world because 4 people just cannot dissappear into thin air........there must be a serious motive.  The only unfortunate thing is that they had 11days headstart before they were reported missing. I pray they will eventually get the courage to contact their families as I am more than confident they are alive ............but cant possibly be happy.</description>

		<description>After just watching the McStays case on &quot;Disappeared&quot;  My heart goes out to you and your family, the unknown is a terrible thing.  Cases like this are intriguing and sad.  My personal thoughts are that the wife may have been Googling about kids passports for Mexico.  In order to get a child a passport both parents must approve and be witness.  I think it is a possibilty that she may have left with another man-who got her a fake passport and had gotten the two children fake passports.  Afterall they have no record of the McStay&#039;s passports that night.  Another thought was Witness Protection-for the four days before they crossed the border they could have been briefed on their new life-that though seems not right cause I don&#039;t think they would have had them crossing to Mexico on foot-so I think that is out.  One final thought--the answer may lie with the toys in the trunk-someone could have done something sinister with the parents to kidnap the children.  After just watching the profile on ID all these thoughts are running in my head..I couldn&#039;t imagine the relatives left at home have any peace with these thoughts that they have had for over a year.  God Bless You...The truth will always come out..hang in there</description>

		<description>I am thinking witness protection program.  How do those people, who are protected witnesses, disappear????  Was there anything illegal surrounding this family?  What were affiliates up to???? He may have been a whistleblower or, perhaps, involved in something illegal himself and then turned on the crime in order to preserve his freedom - that is where the wpp comes in.</description>

		<description>I guess it would be very hard to understand the &quot;whats&quot; and &quot;whys&quot; about the disappearance of your family.   It seems kind of odd that this family would have left if things would have been going right for this family.  I hope that if anything that the McStay family is together and happy and that everyone is safe.  Just curious if there has been any new information on the case or is it still cold?</description>

		<description>I am so confused with this.  No break in, no robbery, dogs left outside, food on the counter, popcorn on couch, no activity on their cell phones, no activity on bank accts and in fact they left behind their nest egg ($100K per ID show).  Then they find their car near border with &quot;newly purchased toys&quot;.   QUESTION: Did they buy those toys using their debit or credit card? Is there a ROSS closer to their home that they may  have purchased those toys at?  Why would they buy a &quot;stove&quot; when they had two boys?  Were there any fingerprints on steering wheel or any other place of car?  Did they take their cell phones with them and were they traced to any other location?  Or were they left behind?    So many questions the show did not answer.  And why would anyone change their name so many times?  That in itself is very strange.</description>

		<description>Craigslist is scetchy. I would definitly go that route. Also,  Which store can&#039;t determine where the goods came from? Especially if their are mutipal toys bought together...receipts are kept! Go to craigslist, find out who was selling these &#039;toys&#039;! Bring this family back together god bless and good luck

[ This is one of my concerns too. MM ]</description>
