I think if (and it’s a big if) Tom committed suicide, someone helped by driving his Durango away from the body. Maybe someone met up with him, they drove to the more secluded spot and Tom shot himself. The other person panics and drives back closer to civilization and drops the car off. This...

A car’s windows could be steamed over if someone was sleeping inside, but they would also steam over in an empty closed up car if it was damp inside. Maybe his car was damp inside, spilled drinks, a window left down when it rained?

But many thieves, especially those that target certain vehicles, know how to disable tracking so it's not a deterrent for them.

On a normal day, this part of the plan might not be mentioned. But he may have mentioned something like "I expect my car will be ready today. I'm going to fill the loaner up this morning so I don't have to worry about it later."

The mechanic would need to follow a certain legal process to assume ownership of the truck before any parts from the truck could be removed and sold. I doubt those rules were followed, so the original owner of the truck would not have changed. This page has a summary: Mechanic & Labor Lien -...

2:00 AM is "closing time". Closing time is the time at which they stop letting people into the bar and the time at which you can buy your last drink (also known as last call). The bar actually remains open for 1/2 hour (or possibly 1 hour, depends on the law and I forget Ohio's law at the time...

Cougar snuff is a smokeless tobacco, a brand that seems to have been around for quite some time. Snuff is similar to chewing tobacco in that you place it in your mouth and spit out the tobacco juice, only snuff is a more compact form and not chewed. Brands

That was stated in a post here that has since likely been removed since it wasn't from an approved source.

It's possible someone from the church was involved, but in many of the known cases of improper relationships surrounding churches the aggressor (a person in a position of authority) will have multiple victims and somewhere in that string of victims the misdeeds come to light, even years later.

I doubt his real name was Benjamin, but if it was, he might sign Ben (rather than Benjamin Jr) if his father went by Benjamin.

If there was a secondary collision (a second car hit him after he stumbled from his wreck) there would be some car parts from that impact if it was a hit hard enough to throw the body some distance.

While they may not be required, I'm sure they would issue some type of statement that, while possibly not providing details, would save themselves time from having to deal with future inquiries.

Rental companies often do track their cars. Dealers often don't track their loaners. Why? A rental car company is renting to a "stranger". Yes they have a driver license and a credit card to know who the person is, but the person renting is somewhat of an unknown. A dealer loaner is only going...

So sorry for you loss.

Motion activated cameras conserve recording space. That's a big issue when a camera runs 24 hours a day with any resolution - even more of an issue with multiple cameras.

A SIM card is used for cellular services. Without the SIM car, the car would not communicate with the service. Just like your phone - if you remove the SIM card you can't make (non-emergency) phone calls.

No, a car's GPS is a receiver. It doesn't record or transmit where it is located. Only when special services are enabled, like GM's OnStar or the Porsche equivalent, can the car be tracked. And it's likely the dealer did not have the special services enabled on their loaner car.

Seeing a white truck in the background of a video of Alan and seeing a white truck lit on fire with a body on it really means nothing. The most common vehicle in Texas is likely a white Ford pickup. It's like the DC sniper shootings. At first they were thinking a white van was involved because...

Having lived in different places, some places are quick to put a sticker on an abandoned car and tow it away. In other places I’ve lived, I’ve seen cars sit for days, in one case well over a week, with no notices put on them for towing as abandoned.

Many gas pumps require you to hold the handle the whole time. It seems to be more common in some areas than others.
