The boys' mother, Theresa Nash, went to Clearly’s home after he failed to make required daily contact with her and found his house to be cleared out, MyFoxAtlanta.com reported.

"Nobody has made contact with them and we have been unable to make contact since the 22nd. He's abandoned his car. He’s driving a car that nobody knew about. His house is cleared out. He's only using cash," Nash told MyFoxAtlanta.com.
