This is about an hour from me, and is the first I'm hearing of it. I wish we knew which way he headed from the place last seen. There are a couple of large lakes on Game Reserve Rd. I wonder what type of searches have been/are being conducted.

I can't tell if that's a decal on the driver's door, like some businesses will put on trucks, or if it's a reflection from something in front of the truck.

If it's a decal, it would be super helpful to know what it says -- and would make it easier to spot in a sea of trucks.
