He's the teenager in Texas who killed 4 people while driving drunk.  His lawyers got him off with the "affluenza" defense.  He got 10 years probation but was required to check in weekly with his probation officer.  Now he and his mother cannot be found.  Local sheriff says "I told you this would happen"

Hopefully they'll be found & both put in jail!  My husband and I heard this last night on the news and just glared at one another...  Unbelievable & both running together!!

I saw the story on the news last night ..... the entire family looked very weird and scary ..... they definitely are not normal ... I don't care how much money they have ..... I hope they catch the mother & son and throw them in jail for life!!

Yes, but why is he missing and why was his probation officer looking for him?

Earlier this month, that fear seemed to be confirmed when a video surfaced appearing to show Couch breaking his probation.

In a six-second clip posted to Twitter on Dec. 2, a blond teen strongly resembling the now-18-year-old Couch can be seen clapping and laughing during a raucous game of beer pong.

Now his mother has affluenza too?!

If they have left the country, it could be years before he is located imo.

The judge should be put in the cell next to Ethan's

That kid (and his parents) make me ill!  I hope they find them, but I doubt that they will.

I suppose that there is a very remote chance that they ran off to commit murder-suicide.

Why was his probation officer looking for him?

Simple, when Ethan didn't check in when he was supposed to, his probation officer went looking for him.

What a surprise.
