Avantae Deven, 61, reported Blake missing at the Ramsey Street Walmart on Jan. 19, 2024. She said he was a runaway last seen on Aug. 1, 2022. The third page of the incident report lists his last-seen date as Nov. 30, 2022 at the Berriedale Drive house.

So per A. Deven, Blake ran away in either August or November of 2022. But for some reason, she opted to report him missing at a Walmart on January 19, 2024? That makes zero sense. Literally zero. Something happened at that Walmart that prompted authorities to become involved and him to be reported missing. Someone (maybe
@carbuff) a few pages back speculated that perhaps Blake's being reported missing had something to do with finances (ie. stimulus/benefits for foster/adopted children/etc).
Per this link the Ramsey Street Walmart does offer a Woodforest Bank location. Which makes me go hmmmm and wonder if
@carbuff is on the right track. Perhaps some sort of financial fraud was
uncovered suspected which prompted questions to come up about Blake and where he was which started a whole ball rolling.
