I wish there was more detail on the circumstances leading to his disappearance. Who raised the alarm that he was missing? How did he get to Walmart and for what reason—did he intentionally get into the suv he was seen in?

One thing that would make one take notice and help identify him, if seen, is the “white Crocs with red hearts” on it. That sounds pretty unique, and seems atypical of what you’d see a man wear (at the risk of me sounding “gender biased”). JMO

Wichita County Courts have several records for him, one (which I found a mugshot for that arrest which started me looking) was dismissed, one was for paternity and child support from 2019, and one is a current and active case with an arrest for Misdemeanor Property Theft. The Plea Negotiation Conference for that case is scheduled for April 30,, 2024. (to view the actual document, go to the link for Case -----2023-1395 and then click on the "View Document 1/31/24 Plea Negotiation Conference".) No telling if this open case is related to his disappearance as we don't have a lot to go on from his missing report. Smart Search - Wichita County Odyssey Portal
