Americans know him as the long time host of the “American Top 40” radio show and also the voice of Scooby-Doo’s stoner sidekick Shaggy. Casey Kasem has been out of the public eye for some time, unfortunately suffering from advanced stage Parkinson’s disease. Now a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ordered an investigation into Kasem’s whereabouts.
His daughter Kerri Kasem took legal action to become her father’s caretaker after claiming she and her siblings have not been able to see him as required under the terms of an agreement with their stepmother, Jean Kasem. During the proceedings it was revealed that not even Jean Kasem’s attorney knows where Casey Kasem is.
Fans are reacting to the news of Kasem’s apparent disappearance.

@JeremyHubbard @PageSix Interesting story. Elder abuse is appearing more often as baby boomers age. Kinda scares me.

Scary and sad to hear radio legend Casey Kasem's whereabouts are unknown. He's said to be in poor health. Hoping this has a happy ending.

Just read up about Casey Kasem. Why would you marry a person who hates your children? This is a mess, and elders should have more protection
