Did this 2016 case happen near the area in this case?
speculation, imo.
Police release new surveillance pictures in murder investigation of Angie Barlow
"Angie Barlow's car was found on Nov. 8, 2016, about 8.5 miles away from that apartment complex. 24-Hour News 8 learned from court documents that police took pictures and DNA swabs from Barlow's car. Then on June 21, police found Angie's body in the brush near 42nd Street and Emerson Avenue."

It's hard to tell it has the shape of an older model Dodge caravan, Chrysler town & country or voyager, toyota sienna in any case its a mini van

This is the exact model it looks like.

This is the exact model it looks like.

That's an excellent match!

I did a quick look in NamUs and didn't find any missing people in that area listed with minivans.

A wider search using Plymouth Voyager turns up 7 missing people. One of them, the vehicle was recovered.

Here are the people whose vehicle isn't listed as being recovered:

WI - WI - Leonelly Gabriel Barron, 3, Sauk Prairie, 26 Feb 2013 Mother and child, missing out of WI, custody situation, were suspected to possibly be leaving the country to Central or South America

Missing Person Case Not much info on this guy, didn't see a thread on him, but missing from VA so less likely

NE - NE - Ann Marie Riekenberg Kelley, 36, Beatrice, 15 April 2008 From a quick skim of her thread, it sounds like she probably is close to home and the circumstances just haven't been proven yet but I guess anything is possible

Missing Person Case No thread found, but he was traveling from AZ to FL and may have had medical issues so seems unlikely

Missing Person Case No thread for him either, missing from KY
