I know he was fired from the depaetment and that Dexter's babysitter dumped him, but it's rather strange that even in a massive city like Miami, someone goes AWOL for at least 4 or 5 days and no one even reports the fact that he's been missing... Guess it's a minor, excusable plothole, tho... Still, I believe this is not the last we've heard of him, I got the sneaky feeling that the Ukrainian guy hasnt done a perfect job in cleaning up Dex's boat
