This reminds me of Shrek when Pinocchio gets around lying by saying "I don't know where he's not," but if you think about it for one second you'll see that knowing where someone is also means you know where they aren't at. So it's still a lie.

no, if you know one of the places where he is you can just observe him and he will be there and then you know exactly where he is and is not

But you can't just magically remotely view somewhere you can't see.
