Billy Joe Best is a Massachusets man is authorities believe may be with missing 13-year-old Daniel Hauser, who ran away to avoid chemotherapy.

Best did the same thing in 1994 as a 16-year-old sufferer from Hodgkin's disease.

From a story at the AP:
The man authorities believe could be with a Minnesota teenager who ran away to avoid chemotherapy did the same thing more than a decade ago in Massachusetts.

Officials believe Billy Joe Best could be traveling with 13-year-old Daniel Hauser and his mother. The Hausers allegedly fled New Ulm, Minn., after a court-ordered medical exam showed his Hodgkin's lymphoma had worsened.

In 1994, 16-year-old Best ran away to avoid having more chemotherapy to fight his Hodgkin's disease. He returned after three weeks in Houston when his parents promised they would not force him to have the treatments.

Best has claimed his cancer was cured by natural remedies.

His parents, Sue and Bill Best of East Bridgewater, did not immediately return a phone message.
