Tips coming in for Texas affluenza teen who may have left country: sheriff

FORT WORTH, Texas (Reuters) - Numerous tips have been reported on the possible whereabouts of a Texas teen from a wealthy family suspected of violating a probation deal that kept him out of prison for killing four people in a drunken-driving crash, a sheriff said on Friday.

. . .

"We fear that he has left the country,” Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said. “He got way out ahead of this and got away before any of us knew he was missing.”

A probation violation could result in prison time for Couch, authorities said. He was sentenced to 10 years probation in a juvenile court for killing the four. "Because of the publicity in the case, we are receiving dozens of tips every day," Anderson said.

Sources close to the investigation said the teen’s father told law enforcement officials the passports of the youth and his mother, with whom he was living, were missing.
