I believe that serving the papers to Sharon the prior evening, was the catalyst to the police being summoned to look for D on Good Friday morning.
D had been staying with family since he had arrived in Manitoba. He had been at his brother's, my brother's and his sister's among several visits at other locations across the city. On Thursday night the 21st, D opted to go spend some time with a cousin of his.
The police showed up at D's mom's on the morning of the 22nd. He had not stayed at her place. She could not help them and did not know where he had gone. The police would not tell her what it was regarding.
They were back an hour or so later inquiring again as they had noticed a truck pull up and thought it might have been D. Well it was not. Alice asked what it was that D had done. An officer responded something to the effect of, "It's not what he's done. It's what he hasn't done."
Shortly thereafter the police arrived at Krista's home looking for her brother. The response was similar. They did not know where D was and they could not assist the police in any way.
I recall my reaction being one of sarcasm. It was humourous to me for some reason. D and I were conversing by phone as he filled me in on the details.
I joked with D, "Big ****** manhunt in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Most notorious Dead Beat Dad comes back to town. The search for him has begun."
I knew the case was no laughing matter. Certain actions and reactions to it were comical. The common sense element was not common. We could not make sense of much of it and it was a waste of energy trying. Our decisions about everything came from within us. Always going back to the core. This kept us very well grounded.
Remember that not one department could give us a concrete answer on whether D had an arrest warrant or not in Manitoba.
One day of freedom at a time.
