The Disappearance of the South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford
June 23rd, 2009Big controversy in South Carolina – Mark Sanford, the Republican governor disappeared and nobody knew where he was. He was last seen by his wife Jenny Sanford, who said Mark Sanford took off in a black SUV last Thursday and there’s been no word from him since. They know how to rock and roll in South Carolina.
Jenny Sanford told the Associated Press that her husband Mark Sanford wrote a nite that he wanted to get away from the kids and have a little space for himself. When asked about his disappearance, the spokes person for the governor’s office said that South Carolina Governor was “taking some time away from the office”.
Mark Sanford was unreachable on either of his cell phones – a personal one and a state issued one. After 4 days of not having heard from him, the case of South Carolina Governor’s disappearance has started to turn peculiar. But it was all needless.
Mark Sanford’s communication director Joel Sawyer told the press today that the governor will be returning to his office tomorrow. What an anticlimactic end to a mysterious case of vanished state official. The word is that the governor spent his time hiking along the Appalachian Trail and when he called to check in with his chief of staff, he was shocked to hear that his little trip attracted so much interest. Joel Sawyer said that: “It would be fair to say the governor was somewhat taken aback by all of the interest this trip has gotten,”
I say: “It would be fair to check whether Ashley Alexandra Dupre or other governor facilitator has gone missing at the same time”
