I agree Jason wouldn't be an ideal target for a random abduction by a stranger in broad daylight. It's a populated area with too much risk of being seen or heard by someone if it went wrong.
I don't think he ran away. I don't think he was a victim of a random, coincidental abduction by a stranger. I also don't think his disappearance was the result of an act of grooming by a secret lover, who he had plans with that day before his originally scheduled shift, who just happened to live along the route to the school, and Jason popped in to tell that person there was a change of plans.
That doesn't leave much else, does it?
The only thing that makes sense to me is he ran into someone he knew, somewhere between when the last eye witness saw him and the school. That person offered to give him a ride to the school, but, instead, took him somewhere else. There would have been no scuffle or scene made curbside to bring attention to him getting into a car. And most likely it would have been a quick, uneventful interaction that didn’t draw attention.
On a side note, in addition to interviewing the employees at Fazoli's, does anyone know if investigators interviewed their regular customers? Maybe one of them overheard the conversation between the coworker and Jason and deduced where Jason lived, and took advantage of that? If Jason was acquainted with that person, maybe he would get in a car with them?
I ask because nearly every place I've worked had what I called frequent flyers, who were there often, sometimes every day, like clockwork. Even when I was a directory assistance operator, I had daily calls from one customer who was blind, looking for the date and time of day. While working in retail, I walked to work on occasion if I didn’t have bus fare and would catch a ride home with one of my coworkers. But if one of my regulars stopped and offered me a ride to work because they were heading my way, and I wasn’t getting weird vibes from them, I might have gotten in their car, especially on a hot day where I was pressed for time. That never happened to me, but I can't rule out I wouldn't have accepted a ride if it did.
