It's been almost two decades since Mitchell Buchanan Jr. went missing, and I can't stop thinking about how critical timing was in his case. He had just started that new medication causing hallucinations and confusion. It's a chilling thought—if he was already disoriented, that medication could have further clouded his judgment as he left home. The fact that his truck was found near Tyler, Texas, so soon after he disappeared makes me wonder if he realized something was wrong and tried to get help. Perhaps he was even aware enough to attempt reaching a familiar place like the casino area in Shreveport, where family outings were tied to happier memories. If he was trying to find solace where he felt a connection, it’s so tragic that he might have been too disoriented to get there safely. I would love to hear more insights about the impact hallucinations could have had on his reasoning—especially from those with experience in caring for Alzheimer’s patients, particularly ones on similar medications. Could Mitchell have been following a familiar route out of sheer muscle memory or something else entirely? Thoughts appreciated!
