[Texasgal]

LOS ANGELES, CA —A judge on Monday ordered an investigation into the whereabouts of Casey Kasem after an attorney for the ailing radio personality's wife said the former "Top 40" host had been removed from the country.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy ordered a court investigator and adult protective services to find out where Kasem is being treated and report back to the court. Kasem, 82, suffers from advanced Parkinson's disease, can no longer speak and has been in various medical facilities chosen by his wife, Jean Kasem.

Casey Kasem's children have complained that they have been unable to see their father in accordance with an agreement with their stepmother. Daughter Kerri Kasem had sought a temporary conservatorship and was appointed her father's temporary caretaker on Monday. Her attorney, Troy Martin, said the family believes the entertainer has been taken to an Indian reservation in Washington state.

Murphy's order came after Craig Marcus, an attorney who appeared on Jean Kasem's behalf at Monday's hearing, said he did not know where the radio personality was but knew that he had been removed from the country.

"I have no idea where he is," Marcus said.

1. How very odd. I wouldn't say he's missing so much as someone won't tell the wife where he is. nt

2. His wife is with him

his children who have a court order to take over their Father's health needs have no idea where he is. I'd say that's missing?

5. Read the article again... It appears that it is his wife (Jean) who KNOWS where he is & is refusing

to tell the kids (her stepchildren).

Yes, it is a strange accounting, though.

6. It is difficult in some of situations as this, problems determining who has his best interest at

Heart or who is more interested in the estate. Hopefully he is getting the care he needs.
