LA LA - Willard "Bill" Daspit Jr, 58, going to his camp 3 doors away, dirt bike & glasses found in wreck 100 yds from home, Coteau Holmes, 9 Sep 2023

[slowpoke]

This (LINK-The Advocate, 2/22/2024) might be behind a paywall, so I’ll paraphrase:
A resident told Daspit’s wife they saw Daspit walking on Banker Road, and a person in a white vehicle started talking to her husband. Her husband wasn’t seen on cameras further down the road.
The wife also said there were five cameras showing him walking back and forth like he was confused.

===

I don’t know, then, if he was actually seen getting into the white vehicle, as the wife asserts in that KLFY article, 9/18/2024 in the prior post (“Lara theorizes Willard could have been kidnapped after being told he was seen being picked up by someone in a white vehicle the night he went missing.”)

Also in the KLFY article is a video purportedly showing him walking, but it doesn’t say where. Anyone recognize the location? From around 1:12 in the video. Here’s one screenshot from it:

Snipped...
...Lara Daspit said she got a call from the local grocery store down the road who said they might have seen him on their security cameras.

“They have him on video at Broussard’s Grocery Store and the fire station has him on video too,” Lara Daspit said.

So, that screen shot posted above might be from in front of the grocery store, this map below is zoomed in, look above the building there's the camera on a pole. Next zoom out a little & turn yourself around to see across the street, (now i am not 100% certain but) this could be the shot...imho

ETA3: i wonder which location captured him on camera first, that little building across the street from the grocery store (amongst the trees) might have appealed to him, for whatever reason...just hope it's been checked out, in and around it. just moooooo.

Correct, Broussard's Grocery.

(Compare with video screenshot-)
Zoom in, note & match pole with signs (actually a light
pole), Zoom back out, pivot to left, note & match pole
on north side of road with white cylinder (transformer?)
on it, pivot (back to) right, tree and grass island match
(making allowance that the Google Maps is from 2013).

I'd really like to know any email of any one of the
searchers that met at the fire station.
