Thanks! He may have moved recently as currently LE is stating he's a resident of CA, not Nevada. King's Beach is on the border, but if anyone wants to search court records for him you might want to check CA, not just Nevada for past criminal history. (I checked Placer county 2015 to today and got nothing). I hope she just took off realizing he was bad news and didn't come to harm. https://fox40.com/news/local-news/p...y-missing-woman-boyfriend-person-of-interest/

"Law enforcement said they believe Clifford drove Andrews’ red 2003 Chevrolet Blazer for some time after his death. The vehicle was last reported to be traveling westbound on Highway 70, according to the Placer deputies."

This makes more sense than the Blazer being Clifford's vehicle and explains why LE couldn't say why she was "associated with" the car.
