Mother of ‘affluenza’ teen listed as missing

Couch is serving 10 years probation in the juvenile justice system for the June 2013 crash that also left nine people injured.

The user, @BlondeSpectre, née Hannah Hardee, says she wasn’t at the party in question, she just found the video in October and saved it, which was smart because the original source has deleted it. Hardee said that “seeing the interviews with the victims’ families” prompted her to post it over two months after discovering it. The video is now being investigated by authorities. Tonya may be in the company of her son Ethan Anthony Couch, 18 wanted on a Directive to Apprehend from the 323rd District Court in Tarrant County, Texas. Prosecutors wanted to move his case to adult court. “He got way out ahead of this and got away before any of us knew he was missing”, the local sheriff said. She said that if Couch is watching the authorities’ news conference, he should turn himself in.

Texas deputies, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and US marshals are hunting for Ethan Couch and his mom, Tonya. Anderson has said he thinks Couch and his mother may have fled in late November, in the days after the video emerged online. He says he hasn’t heard from Ethan or his ex-wife since his son failed to report to his probation officer. Couch was 16 at the time.

In a new twist to an already odd case, the mother of “affluenza” teen Ethan Couch has been added to the missing persons database, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Authorities said Monday they were searching for the truck that belonged to the mother of affluenza teenager Ethan Couch, who killed four people while driving drunk in 2013.

Ethan Couch, from Fort Worth, is thought to have gone on the run after a video emerged of him drinking during a game of beer pong – a parole violation that could see him jailed for 10 years.

Now authorities are offering a $5,000 reward to anyone with information leading to an arrest.

“There’s a possibility they may be in that truck”, Anderson said. Such a bewildering excuse worked for “affluenza teen” Ethan Couch, who has probably not learned his lesson. State District Judge Jean Boyd, now retired, sentenced Couch to probation and therapy, including a stint at a state hospital in Vernon.
