I have a friend who is apparently the main suspect in the disappearance of a girl. at the same time his apartment lease is up and he was planning on moving out of state. i dont know if the police have told him he can't move but he has not been charged with anything yet, just brought in for lots of questioning. i was told by the police that if i help him financially to move out of state and then he is charged with her disappearance after he moves, that i can get charged with aiding and abetting... is this true?

he has been planning on moving for a while. and he had already told the police he is moving and has given them the name and phone number of the friend he is moving with. although he is considering just staying in the state so as to not look like he is running.

i didnt mean 'girl' as in a child, she is 24 and was also involved with a psycho exboyfriend who stalked her who no one can find and was also involved in dealing drugs.

Yes, and they are trying to keep you out of trouble. Listen to the police. If they wanted to charge you they would have let you do it and then charged you. They are giving you a heads up to help you stay out of trouble. Mighty nice of them if you ask me.

Yes! I would recommend you cut all ties with this person until it is the police are sure that he is not guilty. Most certainly, you should NOT help financial in any way nor hide anything from the police. Keep yourself out of trouble. This character sounds a little shady anyway, so why would you WANT to help someone who may have had anything to do with the disappearance of a child! Walk away from that relationship and don't look back!

No. Not if you are above-board to begin with. Since he is not charged, and you are not aiding him in the commission of a crime, then you are not aiding and abetting a "felon" or "wanted felon", which is the requirement. However, if you can be proved to have SPECIFIC knowledge that he Has committed a crime (him confessing to you doesn't meet that requirement, you have to have evidence in front of your eyes to prove it), then you can be charged even after the fact.
Addendum:
If he is a suspect in a crime, and he is trying to move out of state in the middle of the investigation, it makes him LOOK like he committed the crime. Counsel him to NOT do that. (Unless of course he did committ the crime, in which case he won't listen to you and you need to stay away from him anyway).

Yes you can be charged and end up in prison if he's proven to be guilty. Distance yourself from this person right away and do not give him help. You call him a friend. Don't you wonder why he's moving out of state so quickly? Or where the missing girl really is?

He was planning to move all along.
However, I agree with most of the above. Do not in any way finance your "friend"--especially if you believe he might be declared guilty. Not only because you may be charged with aiding and abetting, but it's wrong.

No, they must be hooked as much as the pink van and dragged in the process the middle of city. They took some thing far flung from those infants. who is going to be waiting to take up all of their infants? all of them had mothers and fathers that gave them up and now the mothers and fathers that they had have been given stolen from them. they have already lost 2 units of mothers and fathers and are approximately to lose one yet another as brothers and sisters.
