Please don't tell me the investigation is shutting down.

They can easily prove Jim Lethbridge's involvement (or Gospel Outrage) here, and then bring Jimmy-boy up on charges for withholding evidence and making false statements, etc! What ever happened to "that church" anyhow? I heard the cult moved out of state, back instate, now back out? At least they ran out of money trying to sue those of us ex-members who have a brain and left early on when it was turning from a uber-controlling inbred church to a full-blown cult!

Easily prove? How?

Just watched programme crazy story. this group is a dangerous cult

I believe this cult is controlling him from a distance

He was found. He did leave intentionally. The church forced him to not have contact with his family. This idiot did it. I mean really, you can't hold your girlfriends hand you have to use a fork? That did not give you your first clue that this group was insane? So now how much money and resources were used in this bogus case?

Whats sad is the resources wasted looking for someone that didn't wish to be found that could of been used to help others truly in trouble.

Having a family that loves you is a gift and a privilege. What kind of person would cause this much grief and heartache to such a good, loving family such as the Carney's? I find it deplorable and incredibly selfish.

I just watched the missing program twice from Rwanda, and am in shock to hear he was found. It's relief to his family, however he needs help, if he was running away from the church or that church has anything to do with his desappearance, he needs a proffessional help. Hope he made peace with himself

Wow. I lived in those apartments for three years. I saw the billboard maybe a year ago. I am glad they found him. It's sad the church made him have to disappear. Just wild!

I just watched the show disappeared again and this time they found him SHOCKED ALSO PISSED THAT ALL OF THEM RESOURCES HAVE BEEN USED ON SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T WANT FOUND BY A LOVING FAMILY! TIM CARNEY OWES ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO NEED THOSE RESOURCES SO HE SHOULD USE THE PUBLICITY TO MAKE MONEY TO GIVE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad that the parents have their Son back home. Good luck and best of wishes to all of you.

Unreal. This just makes me mad that all of those people took the time, and energy to try to find him, and it ends up just being some crackpot cult that steered this small minded man away from his loving family. He should be ashamed of himself for being such a twit, and hurting the ones that love him so very much. All for a stupid cult. I feel so very bad for that family.

Cults pry on lonely people. Its sick using religion in such a way. Using God to hurt and control people.

Could it be possible he just chose to leave and it had nothing to do with the church? Maybe he wanted to live a lifestyle he felt his family would not approve of so in order to be happy he felt his only choice was to leave? Just a thought but still sad that his family who loves him so much have to suffer.

In the Disappeared programme it was mentioned that Tim did not have very many close friends, as he was growing up, I think he was very lonely. When he found the church group, it fulfilled a need for companionship. He was unhappy his family didn't like the church. He found a girlfriend at the church as well. His life's work was the book he was writing, and it was mentioned he carried it around with him at all times in a brief case, even to work. His girlfriend broke off with him, seems someone stole his car and briefcase, maybe in a struggle at the place his wallet was found. What I think is Tim had enough trauma and shock to bring on fugue state (reversible amnesia for memories ect} Description of fugue state is on wiki. I think the family should check him for this. On the disappeared programme on youtube they show a shot of his wallet on the ground at a car park, however he was in a bar arguing with a bar maid that she stole his wallet, he was not drinking alcohol only water. Something was wrong with his head, he got knocked out of reality. His lifes work, his book in his briefcase was stolen. Some criminal probably thought it was money in that brief case and ripped it off him, his book he was writing was his life, He got ripped out of reality when that went, coupled with the breakup, I think the shock short circuited his mind and he went into fugue state and remains there. Explaining why he hasn't contacted his loving family. He might not be well but he's alive.

Its amazing how the "church" would not know his whereabouts when they accompanied him to the hospital to make sure he wasn't "lying" abt visiting a sick family member.

Praise God he's found

Another proof that religion is scam for the weak-minded.

religion is not for the weak-minded. People such as the leader of this one cult not religion are the con artists that feed on people with low self esteem and no self confidence. Religion is not the problem con artists are !!!!

I wish it had been mentioned how he was found and if there has been any interaction with his family. The religious group drove him into being a withdrawn introvert. Authorities can't really sue him for the money that they spent looking for him as he left on his own. Tim clearly needs a therapist to straighten his mind out. I tend to think he had enough of being bilked by this group and thought the only way he could get away from them was to disappear and making it look like he had been the victim of foul play. If he is totally normal he should have his rearend lashed for the pain he has caused his family.

I think there's more to this story than meets the eye, first, the young man abruptly leaves his family and the church he's attending seems to be a cult following.

Wow, just saw the show via Netflix and decided to look up whether he was ever found and learned that he was. Don't make the mistake of thinking that group as a religious group. They are not. This is a cult. They use mind control such as emersion, and seclusion from those you love, including family. These people are "programmed". It can take months or years of using similar tactics to "deprogram" them. Like the moonies, hare krishna and many others, this is a scarey group and there have been cases where people are never successfully deprogrammed. Ted Patrick was a well known deprogrammer who helped many families. Fascinating book by him in the 70s I think or early 80s.terrifying but true and real. Remember Jim Jones and the koolaid or Wako Texas??? People die in these cults. The leaders are insane but they prey on lost soles therefore often they go under the radar for years and usually the control increases as the insanity of the leaders increases. DONT DRINK THE KOOLAID!!!!!

He belong to a cult that took all his life, had debts, a job he didnt like it and the pression of his family to leave that life...maybe to much to endure. It is wise sometimes to walk in someone else's shoes for a while and then....judge.

I just hope he is finally able to ‘fork’ his girlfriend…

Has anyone done a DNA test or anything to prove the person actually is the "lost' Timothy Carney? I think that would prove it really is him. I have heard about these types of "missing" persons. Cult, Cult, Cult.

I hate that to my heart, those fucking church's pry to the davil.
I got no words, had been close family member to me, those church's leaders would be under ground

There sure are a lot of ignorant people on here. They can't talk correctly or even spell correctly. What is pression and pry to the davil? I mean really folks. Go back to school

This guy Tim, he did not go to the police so he did not cause the enquiry to spend so much money looking for him, this Cult has him and their is nothing anyone can do is their, can't the USA legislate against this, but the problem is the victims walk in on their own free will, I just don't know what you can do

There are always 2 sides to every story. And while I believe his "church" is a crock, we will never know the whole story unless he (Tim) tells his side. And he may have been brainwashed! Too many cults out there!

Obviously there are people posting on here of which English is their second language. Ever heard of ESL? Sounds like you're the ignorant one Jack. They should be praised for trying!
