Appears to still be missing.

NamUs traded his photo with a different one.

How's his wife? Is she safe? If they have him walking to her home, why no video of him walking away? Hmmm

 

[modesty blaise]

How odd, did he make contact with the ex?

To add to these questions:
Why did he park his vehicle at the neighbor’s house to walk over to his ex’s? Why not just park at the ex’s?
Was she expecting him that day?
Surely LE has interviewed her.

IMO didn't want his vehicle to be spotted at her home which to me suggests a restraining order or at least had been told not to be near her

I would like to know if she has a significant other who might've encountered him and something happened

Is the vehicle missing too in this case?

Big Creek Natural Area in Wilburn is 15 miles or so from the Tumbling Shoals address named in the restraining order, but I could see this being Charles:

Human remains found in wildlife area in Cleburne County

Officials were notified that a woman was exploring the area with her dog when she stumbled upon a partial human skeleton. The individual also stated that before finding the skeleton, her dog had located a gun a short distance away from the remains.
