She was surprised to see the kitchen window closed; her parents always left it slightly open. She drove to the Sun City Aliante clubhouse, where her parents sometimes drank coffee. When she couldn\u2019t find them there, she thought that perhaps they had gone on an errand together\u2014the farthest they usually drove was to Costco. But, when she returned to the house, it was still empty.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThat weekend, she called her parents several times. She also called two hospitals to see if they had been in an accident. She called their landlord, too, and he agreed to visit the house. He reported that there were no signs of them. She told her husband, \u201cI think someone kidnapped my parents.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nOn the Tuesday after Labor Day, she drove to the house again and found a note taped to the door: \u201cIn case of emergency, contact guardian April Parks.\u201d Belshe dialled the number. Parks, who had a brisk, girlish way of speaking, told Belshe that her parents had been taken to Lakeview Terrace, an assisted-living facility in Boulder City, nine miles from the Arizona border. She assured Belshe that the staff there would take care of all their needs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\n\u201cYou can\u2019t just walk into somebody\u2019s home and take them!\u201d Belshe told her.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nParks responded calmly, \u201cIt\u2019s legal.
