I would just like to point out that Owen has actually been spotted in just outside of San Francisco in Helzberg where a monastery is. I don’t know why the police have not released this information, just seems to be worrying people more because they haven’t, but this post seems completely inappropriate considering the former. It would be wise to check with Owen’s family before making the statements as they know much more than you do about the situation.
