Donut tires aren't meant to be used as a regular tire, <modsnip - reference was removed> They are dangerous to drive on at highway speeds. If you can't afford a new tire, then you are increasing the risk of getting into an accident with a blow out. You may get pulled over for having a donut tire on, just like you get pulled over if your indicator lights aren't working or your brake lights. Having no other tire in the vehicle is a dead giveaway that you have been driving with a donut tire for a while. People don't get pulled over because they are poor, they get pulled over because their vehicles don't conform to highway safety standards.
I've read through the thread and it it seems that there is a tendency for the family members to overlook Kyle taking the kids out at night solely based on him getting custody of his children. Even though he's never done it before. I find that concerning because they've been missing for 6 days and counting.
Where did his brother live and how far away was it to his home? What time was he texting the two girls? Has that been established and how long after he left home did the texting take place? Should he have reached his brother's house around the time the texting took place? If he should have arrived at his brother's by the time he was texting, it suggests to me that he was not driving to drop of the kids.
I know younger people still have a tendency to text and drive even though it's illegal. According to this site, over one million accidents happen every year due to texting.

So while Kyle was texting his phone just went dead. Based on that info, it's possible that he had an accident, perhaps a single car accident, where he went off the road down a deep incline or even worse, into a water source. What I remember about Suzanne Morphew's home state, Indiana is generally as flat as a pancake, although Indianapolis is characterized on Wiki as an area of gently rolling hills and sandstone ravines with a minimum elevation of 189 metres (620 feet) above sea level to a maximum of 307 metres (1007 feet) above sea level. So ravines and deep ditches are a possibility. Some locals could verify that for us.

If Kyle didn't get into an accident and he turned his phone off, then a completely different scenario may emerge. For instance,
I think the baby bottle found at one of his favourite fishing sites might be a red herring. Is it possible Kyle threw it out of the car to delay discovery of his actual location? If Kyle was thinking of doing something out of despair then I think water plays a part. If it was me I'd be asking for people to be using drones to check out other water sites including the Eli Lilly Recreation park a little further west. Even though it's basically a private park for E. Lilly employees they do grant access to the general public several times a year. When reviewing images of the entrance gates it looks like you may be able to drive through after dark. Can a local verify this?
