Man found dead in the airport carpark eight months after he went missing

The deceased's wife is devastated after her  husband body was found in an airport carpark, eight months after he went missing.

Randy Potter, 53, of Kansas City disappeared from his home in January this year and wife Carolina Potter immediately began searching for him.

He was last seen leaving home on the morning of January 17.

The wife contacted Kansas City International Airport to let them know her husband was missing and gave them details of his vehicle.
But it wasn't until a foul smell was noticed coming from a vehicle in the airport's Economy Lot B parking lot this week that his body was discovered.

"How is it possible, in America," she asked The Kansas City Star.
"A truck sitting there for eight months? He could have been found a lot sooner if everybody had done their job.
"Nobody bothered to look."

The man who was a T-Mobile manager is understood to have taken his own life.
Kansas City police say the body was in the airport carpark from January to September in the truck of his vehicle.

The City spokesperson Chris Hernandez issued a statement expressing "their deepest sympathies" to the family.
"We wish them peace during this difficult time," he said. "We are working with all parties to determine the facts involved, including SP Plus, which manages the 25,000 parking spaces at Kansas City International Airport."


After his wife reported him missing to Lenexa Police Department and hiring a private investigator, they were unable to find him.
The wife and a member of his family even went to the airport looking for him.
But the airport authorities had reportedly told the family if Potter's vehicle was in one of their parking lots, they would find him and now the frustrated family is demanding answers.

"It's amazing he wasn't found in June or July," the family's lawyer John Picerno told The Kansas City Star that :
"Our goal is to find out what happened and why. What was done, what wasn't done.
"And to try to make sure this doesn't happen again to somebody."
