The family is notably perturbed about his mental health struggles, although they clarified that Stanley does not suffer from dementia.
Describing the situation as a “nightmare,” Zachary remarked, “We are just waking up into something that feels like a terrible dream. We are just waiting for it to end.” The family is doing all they can to find Stanley and are asking for public assistance. “Please help us. That’s really all I want to say is please get out there and help us. We can’t do it on our own,” pleads Jackie.
