like, you know, you block out so much. we were very angry. immediately we wanted rick caught. absolute betrayal. i just couldn t imagine anything worse. more victims started coming forward through summer of 2004, so at this point, mclean s been charged with 16 counts of sexual assault on four children. rick mclean s family left him. they packed up all their stuff and moved out, left him on his own. he wrote us a letter apologizing to us and asking for us to remember the good rick, but i really feel there was no good in him. he started liquidating his businesses. sold off race cars, sold off the properties that he owned.
and i kind of believe he had a plan for a long time. he, some level, knew this day was going to come. at one point, rick mclean called his wife and asked her and the kids to meet him off a particular off-ramp in southwest riverside county. they went out there and they met. and he said something along the lines of, i can t go to prison, so the easiest thing for me to do is get out of everybody s life. so i m going to disappear, you re never going to see me again. they are the vampires of our children that live amongst us. we found a treasure map.
where is he, are we going to find him. we don t know how many kids he s molested over the past how many years. best-case scenario that could happen is he s caught as soon as possible, trial, life in prison. prison population has a way of taking care of business. rick mclean enjoys camping and is a fan of traditional country music. he s a night owl. if you have seen rick mclean or have any information as to his whereabouts, please call 866-the-hunt or go online at cnn.com/thehunt. you can remain anonymous. we ll pass your tip on to the proper authorities and, if requested, we ll not reveal your name. you know, i even have dreams like this. it s like the same recurring dream where he s there and i can t get help. you know. it would be nice to find him so he can get what he deserves and go to jail and not hurt any more kids. i m sure rick mclean is out
for 9 straight years. one pill each morning. 24 hours. zero heartburn. the first time i met rick mclean was at a meeting at the alpine congregation of jehovah s witnesses.
