Is Katherine Jackson missing?
Some family members say YES! but others say ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
A missing persons report was filed over the weekend with the sheriff’s homicide-missing persons unit for the mother of the late Michael Jackson, who attended a Texas concert of her famous sons but was not seen by certain family members since. Her presumed disappearance and the dramatic question mark surrounding it, is just the latest chapter in a messy dispute between several of Jackson’s children and her advisers over her finances and legal affairs.
The missing persons report was filed after a letter was made public last week in which Rebbie, Janet, Jermaine, Randy and Tito Jackson all charged that their 82 year-old mother was being mistreated by the executors of Michael Jackson’s estate and mis-advised by her manager and lawyer.
According to Jackson’s lawyer, Sandra Ribera, the matriarch left her home on July 15th with daughter Rebbie, to attend a Jackson brothers concert in Albuquerque. But when Paris, Michael Jackson’s 14-year-old daughter, called her aunts Rebbie and Janet over the past several days to inquire about Katherine, she was told each time she could not speak to her, Ribera said.
“yes, my grandmother is missing. i haven’t spoken with her in a week i want her home now,” Paris tweeted Sunday morning. Her latest tweet came after she publicly called her uncle Randy a liar for saying his mother’s health was failing.
In another tweet, Paris gave out her bodyguard’s phone number and asked people to call the authorities if they saw Jackson.
“The kids were trying to get a hold of their grandmother and they haven’t been able to reach her for almost a week,” Ribera said. “They are told she’s unavailable. I’m concerned that she’s not safe.” Jackson “has never gone 24 hours without talking to her kids,” she said.
But one of the Jackson brothers made a public statement via Twitter to squash all rumors of his mother missing:
“I want to reassure everyone (inc all sudden medical experts) that Mother is fine but is resting up in AZ on the orders of a doctor, not us,” Jermaine Jackson tweeted. “This is our mother and her health is paramount. We are not inventing or plotting anything. We are following doctor’s advice. Period,” he added.
But Paris Jackson responded to her uncle’s claim with her own tweet early Sunday. “the same doctor that testified on behalf of dr murray saying my father was a drug addict (a lie) is caring for my grandmother… just saying.”
According to Ribera, the doctor who examined Katherine Jackson at her home on July 14th was Dr. Allan Metzger, who was a defense expert witness for Dr. Conrad Murray last year — the same Dr. Murray who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.
Ribera says Dr. Metzger was brought into Jackson’s California home “under false pretenses” by saying he was sent by her primary care physician. “We came to find out that her doctor has no association with Dr. Metzger.” Hmmm…
This growing divide between Michael’s kids, Michael’s siblings and Michael’s executors appears to be getting rapidly out of hand, with no positive end in sight. Could the total dysfunction within this family get any worse?
This is a sad situation. I just heard on CNN the whole thing has gotten worse. The family is physically brawling now. There was a fight caught on camera where some of the Jackson kids were trying to get Michael's kids out of the house. This is really sad for what was the first family of black music at one time. Micheal must be rolling over in his grave.
