South Carolina's State newspaper has a rather bizarre
story reporting
that the whereabouts of Gov. Mark Sanford have been unknown since
Thursday :
Neither the governor’s office nor the State Law Enforcement
Division, which provides security for governors, has been able
to reach Sanford after he left the mansion in a black SLED
Suburban SUV, said Sen. Jake Knotts and three others familiar
with the situation but who declined to be identified.
Sanford’s last known whereabouts were near Atlanta, where a
mobile telephone tower picked up a signal from his phone,
authorities said.
First lady Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press today her
husband has been gone for several days and she doesn't know
where he is.
The governor’s personal and state phones have been turned off
and he has not responded to phone and text message since
Thursday, a source said.
Jenny Sanford said she was not concerned.
She said the governor said he needed time away from their
children to write something.
The governor’s office issued a statement Monday afternoon:
"Gov. Sanford is taking some time away from the office this
week to recharge after the stimulus battle and the legislative
session, and to work on a couple of projects that have fallen
by the wayside.
