54. There is another theory....

This article is from April 28, 2021....

The whereabouts of a 45-year-old man who was last seen after he dropped his girlfriend off on April 6 at a Griffith Park tennis facility remain a mystery. Police are continuing to track down leads in the disappearance and are asking for tips that may lead to Valentin Broeksmit, who goes by Val, according to his girlfriend, Marie Peter-Toltz.

Peter-Toltz said the information in the article was true regarding the FBI investigation but offered no specific details about what Broeksmit may have provided to government authorities or may still possess. She also denied Broeksmit was a substance abuser.

Peter-Toltz surmised that Broeksmit’s disappearance is somehow connected to a custody battle involving her son, but said she has no concrete evidence. She said she lost custody of her 9-year-old son to her ex-husband, and her relationship with Broeksmit was and remains a contentious part of the custody battle. She said Broeksmit spoke to a case worker from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services on the day he disappeared, and she thinks he may have been upset over prospects of her regaining custody of her son.

“We had my son with us full time until last year when I lost custody. Val tried to stop them. Since then, it’s been an ongoing battle,” Peter-Toltz said. “It’s not like Val to go missing. It’s not like him to say he is going to pick me up and he doesn’t. I just don’t know what happened to him.”

Is this Putler helping IQ4.5 out? KS Toronado Apr 2022 #16
If he's had it done or one of his inner circle has the reason would be to silence anyone else with Ford_Prefect Apr 2022 #19
