 Julie says in the papers that Casey's wife of 33 years, Jean, has isolated Casey from his kids. Julie says Jean won't even allow Casey's kids to talk with them by phone.

"We're scared," Kasem's brother Mouner Kasem tells THR. 
 
 Six days after Parkinson's disease-afflicted American Top 40 radio DJ Casey Kasem, 82, reportedly worth $80 million, vanished following a May 6 visit by his children at a Santa Monica hospital, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy has ordered a court investigator to find him. 
 
 Kasem's family and friends blame his disappearance on his wife, Jean Kasem, approximately 60, an actress whose most famous role was as a trophy wife on Cheers and whose last IMDb credit is 1999's "To Be or Not to Be Evil." Jean Kasem did not appear in court on May 12, but in November, she and her attorney filed a statement saying, "These children falsely claim that their stepmother is wicked and is keeping her husband prisoner.... For reasons they know all too well, their presence at this stage would be toxic and extremely distressing for Casey, Jean and their daughter, Liberty, who have had enough of their cruelty." 
 
 "We had a wonderful visit with him Tuesday at Berkley East Convalescent Hospital -- he was thriving there -- and she yanked him out of there after hours," Kasem's daughter Julie Kasem alleges to THR. "We're scared," says Kasem's brother Mouner Kasem. "Is he getting the care he needs?" Adds Chuck Olsen, Kasem's close friend for 60 years, "Poor Casey is suffering, and probably dying. It's bizarre." Olsen last saw his friend in April 2013. "We used to come in from Detroit, where we grew up, and get together on his birthday. The last time, Case couldn't talk, but we'd mention things from the past, and from his facial expressions we could tell he remembered."

 Casey Kasem's first wife, Linda Myers Naylor -- mother of Julie, Kerri, and Mike Kasem -- says the ailing DJ was isolated by his second wife, Jean. "No one was allowed to visit. Jean visited [Casey] once in a while on the weekend." But at last, says Naylor, on May 6, "The kids got to see their dad; he mouthed, 'I love you.' Then his wife [Jean] went in that night, dumped him into a car and took him away. He had an IV plus a stomach feeding tube." 
 
 "All because his children dared to come and visit him," says Julie Kasem. "Crazy, crazy, crazy. Such a case of isolation." 
 
 Jean Kasem's attorney, Craig Marcus, said he had "no idea" where Casey Kasem is, only that he is out of the country. His children think he may be on a Washington State Indian reservation. "Jean was talking to her niece in Washington on the phone," says Julie Kasem, "saying, 'I need an Indian reservation with a private airstrip and I want to bring Casey there.' Her nephew overheard and immediately alerted Kerri [Kasem, Julie's sister]. We're all sort of family, in a twisted way." 
 
 "This horrible woman, he's literally afraid of her," says Naylor, who met Kasem when she was script supervisor for his 1971 film with Bruce Dern, The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant. She says she divorced Kasem in 1980 because, despite the fact that he is "a sweet man, and very generous," when he got angry, "he was a screamer. I didn't hate him, I just couldn't live with him. He was so angry I divorced him, so embarrassed, and he loved big blondes. So he got one. Maybe if I'd been a little bit more mature, we could've worked it out."

 After Kasem married Jean in Dec. 1980, insiders say his kids saw him less, that his friends and family would have to arrange to see him without Jean finding out. As he grew frail, says Naylor, "She stuck him out by himself in a condo with a caretaker in Malibu for years. My girls kept buying him phones, but she'd take them away." When his ailing brother was sent to a hospital in Tarzana, says Mouner Kasem, "We were allowed to see him for one hour, but we had to sign an agreement, and there was a guard there texting everything we said and did [to Jean]. Every day we had to sign a new agreement." 
 
 After Kasem was sent to Berkley East in Santa Monica in February 2014, says Mouner, "TMZ called Julie [Kasem] and said, 'Your dad is in there.' Julie said, 'Thanks for telling me.' Somehow Jean found out and called Julie, and wanted to know how she found out. She hired a guy to keep anybody from seeing him." 
 
 "We've become really good friends," says Naylor of her missing ex-husband, "but I'm really unhappy with him over what's happened the past ten years -- that a man like that could end up like this! He took my daughter and her husband out and used his black American Express card, which Jean had cut off, so they had to buy the meal." 
 
 In her November statement, Jean Kasem said her stepchildren had "single-handedly and irreparably shattered the lives of their father, his wife and youngest daughter.… They are doing so with a professionally orchestrated media and legal campaign that has disgraced their father and vilified their stepmother." 
 
 Mouner Kasem tells THR, "We're hoping the more people that know about [Casey's disappearance], they'll tell us where he is."

 New revelations emerged Tuesday in the unfolding case of missing radio personality Casey Kasem: 
 
 1. He doesn’t just have Parkinson’s. 
 
 Kasem’s daughter learned from medical records this week that her father has Lewy body dementia. The Mayo Clinic: 
 
 Lewy body dementia, the second most common type of progressive dementia after Alzheimer’s disease, causes a progressive decline in mental abilities. It may also cause visual hallucinations, which generally take the form of objects, people or animals that aren’t there. This can lead to unusual behavior such as having conversations with deceased loved ones. In Lewy body dementia, protein deposits, called Lewy bodies, develop in nerve cells in regions of your brain involved in thinking, memory and movement. 
 
 According to the Lewy Body Dementia Association, an nonprofit advocacy group, the disease affects 1.3 million people in the United States. According to the association’s Web site, Lewy body dementia denotes “both Parkinson’s disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies.” 
 
 2. Jean Kasem has her own tale to tell. 
 
 Though Kasem’s wife has not surfaced, she said in November that Kasem’s children’s allegations are unwarranted. CNN: 
 
 “These children single-handedly and irreparably shattered the lives of their father, his wife and youngest daughter, the calm of their home and their neighborhood by engaging in uncalled for public demonstrations and personal attacks in the media,” she said in court papers, according to CNN affiliate KCBS. “They are doing so with a professionally orchestrated media and legal campaign that has disgraced their father and vilified their stepmother.” The children “falsely claim that their stepmother is wicked and is keeping her husband prisoner in his home behind closed doors and that they no longer have access to him through no fault of their own,” she added. “… For reasons they know all too well, their presence at this state would be toxic and extremely distressing for Casey, Jean and their daughter, Liberty, who have had enough of their cruelty.” 
 
 3. Be on the lookout. 
 
 Though a judge ordered adult protective services to locate Kasem, no details have emerged about his whereabouts after Craig Marcus, a lawyer representing Jean, said he “was no longer in the United States.” Kerri Kasem on “The Today Show”: 
 
 “I said, ‘Dad, we’re going to be back really soon,’ and he said, ‘When?’ That’s the last time I saw him, and then that night he was taken from the facility,” Kerri Kasem said. “What he’s going through right now. I mean, he’s a sick man. It must be horrible for him. If anybody’s seen him, if anybody knows his whereabouts, please call the police. Please help us find our dad.” 
 
 Further details from “The Today Show”:
– Iconic DJ Casey Kasem, who left show business in 2009 at age 77, has just months to live, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ. Kasem and wife Jean were sued by a former caregiver who says Jean mistreated her, and the case was heard (and thrown out) yesterday. A rep who appeared on Jean's behalf revealed Kasem is dying, according to TMZ. Jean herself submitted legal documents that say Kasem "is terminally ill and unable to leave home." TMZ has obtained other legal documents regarding Kasem this month; his kids say stepmom Jean has blocked them from seeing their father, and they're fighting her. Among the revelations: Kasem has advanced Parkinson's disease; may have early dementia and can only "shuffle short distances"; and suffers hallucinations and major impairment to his memory and ability to communicate, among other things.
