People at the dealership need to be questioned

The fact his friend's say he was meeting somebody but no name was given is a red flag. Either a lie by the friends or a clandestine meeting with a stranger who was dangerous.

The fact that the dealership took the car and cleaned it up is suspicious.

I’m from Wichita Falls, remember seeing the posters around town. Someone in this town knows what happened. They need to come forward. These parents deserve answers, I can’t even imagine what they are still going through. 😢

I am from there. There was a rumor going around that the owner of the dealership and his wife may have been involved. I don’t know what happened with the discussion as it was never formally shared and only heard around town.

It's always a red flag when someone dropped them off at the door but never saw them go in.

Need to look closer at the car dealership, coworkers, car buyers, etc... that's where you'd find answers.
