Kasem seen in Wash. State and he is reportedly safe. According to law enforcement officials as reported by ABC News, the former actor has been found safe in Washington. Kasem seen in Wash. State finally ended the frantic search after he went missing Monday.
According to the Associated Press, the discovery of Kasem seen in Wash. Has been only hours after his children filed for a missing persons report. Reports say that Casey Kasem was located in Washington state on Thursday. The discovery of Kasem seen in Wash. has been three days after a Los Angeles judge spoke about his concerns on the ailing radio host's whereabouts and safety.
Though Kasem's condition was not immediately revealed, his children were all cheers after days of doubt. They said in a statement after Kasem seen in Wash. that locating the former host was the first step in order for them to bring him back to Los Angeles.
According to Sgt. Mario Toti of the Santa Monica police, Kasem seen in Wash. was acted upon by the Kitsap County Sheriff's Department on Wednesday. This was reportedly only hours after Kasem's children filed a missing person's report. Kerri, Kasem's daughter was appointed his temporary conservator. At a court hearing on Monday, she had to wait for court filings before she was able to file the report, says The National Post.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy has also ordered adult protective services and court investigators to try finding Kasem. According to reports, the judge decided on this after an attorney for his wife told the court that the former "Scooby Doo" voice actor was no longer in the United States, though there was no assurance of his location.
Troy Martin, Kerri Kasem's attorney also said during the hearing that the 82-year-old had been moved to an Indian reservation prior to Kasem seen in Wash. discovery. However, it hasn't been confirmed as Kasem had been frequently moved from medical facilities.
Kerri Kasem wrote in a statement after Kasem seen in Wash., "The family has grave concerns about his health and will do everything in their power to bring him back home. "We are grateful to the local authorities for finding my dad. We are one step closer to bringing him home."
According to the AP, Kasem has been in poor health in recent years. Kerri Kasem's court filings reportedly said that her father is suffering from a form of dementia called Lewy Body Disease that had previously been incorrectly diagnosed as an advanced form of Parkinson's disease.
Jean Kasem, Casey's wife of 34 years had reportedly been in control of his medical care and controlled access to him. According to court filings, she has allegedly prevented Kasem's three children from a previous marriage from seeing him in recent months.
Danny Deraney, Kerri Kasem and her siblings' spokesman said that the family still had "grave concerns" about Casey Kasem's health.
Kasem seen in Wash. state safe may not be the end of the concerns of the former actor's children. On Monday, Jean Kasem's attorney Craig Marcus argued that his client had the right to move her husband to any facility she saw fit.
