This incorporates the following questions:
Mark has claimed that his father went off on his own. I take it he didn’t go off in the family car since there were ways to track the vehicle? If he didn’t go off in the family car how did he travel and what did he use for money? Did Samuel withdraw funds from his account on a regular basis as most people do?
As you’ll have gathered from the evidence I’ve shared with you in answer to other questions on the forum, my father was highly resourceful (link to answer on checking if someone is still alive).
I borrowed the family car between 5th September and 12th October, during which time I made 4 trips between my new flat in London and the family home in order to move all the stuff I’d packed over August.
Whenever I had the car and dad needed to get around, it would be the ‘carers’ responsibility to chauffer him; and if that wasn’t practical, then he’d just get a taxi.
Having returned the car home on 12th October, dad would have been able to drive himself. I met up with dad 3 days later on 15th October 2009, which was the last time we saw each other. I didn’t use the car again until 22nd January 2010.
