Hi, Ashley and Mandy. Your grandfather's picture touched me, too. I'm sorry you've run into so many obstacles in your search.
Just to recap a few details:
A few questions --
Do you know if he informed his employer he would be out of town for a while?
Did he tell your grandmother of his travel plans?
Did anyone else live in the home with your aunt and cousin?
Did he have any enemies? Anyone with a grudge? Any recent disagreements (other the argument with your gradmother)?
Did your grandfather own a gun? Do you think there's any possibility that he might've committed suicide? I'm sorry to ask that question, but please realize that I'm an outsider looking in who didn't know your grandfather.
Just to recap a few details:
- The last reported sighting was by your grandmother and cousin at approximately 6 pm on 05/15/95. Your cousin didn't see him, but heard him and your grandmother arguing.
- Just prior to that, you saw him on the road headed in the direction of your aunt's house where your grandmother was staying at the time.
- Earlier that afternoon, he told you he would not be home the next day, but would be in Florida visiting family
- He worked a few hours that day at the convenience store across from his house.
- He did not notify the relatives in Florida of his planned visit.
- All of his possessions were in his house, including his medication.
- His car has never been recovered. It was a 1980's model Chevrolet, possibly a Celebrity or Cavalier with a brownish tint, LP no. BLT666.
- DNA samples were lost and never entered into the system. You are now in the process of getting new samples.
