Maybe because of the neighbour's surveillance camera? I know this is not confirmed but could be that LE had a look at it, so cancelled the dog search of the scrap yard that was announced at one point.

This makes sense. "IF" the neighbor's camera captures the car, it proves he was alive after the visit to the scrap yard so why search there? Also, assuming RM was driving the car. I don't know why any perp or anyone else driving the car would want to take it to/past rm's house so if it is on video I think it's safe to say RM was driving the car. At least TO the house.

Re: Body found in Hempstead Lake, they're saying it may be a woman who went missing on Father's Day weekend. Body badly decomposed? This would be the same time RM went missing. Would a body be that badly decomposed in this amount of time?

Yes, especially in water during hot weather. Fathers Day was June 16th, so the body was in the water for a month.

I wonder the same. Perhaps the scrap yard witness stated they saw him leave, so that's why they didn't search?

Makes me wonder if they have seen him a few times in the past, so they knew who he was. I also wonder if he had to show an ID. Some places around the country are making scrap yards ask for IDs now, because of all the metal stealing.

According to the Arrow Scrap webpage FAQs, they do require ID in accordance with NY state law.

I would think that all scrap metal places have that posted in their store or website. Doesn't mean they actually enforce it each time, especially for the "regulars".

How did IM get this info? Was the receipt found in the car? Was it just the scrap metal yard's word/memory? Did they have a record of it? And if they did, was the receipt time stamped? And if the claim they require ID, how did the transaction go down if RM had no wallet or ID with him? They obviously didn't follow the law as they state they do? Or did RM have some sort of ID, maybe a work ID with his photo on it? Maybe even a fake ID?

Maybe he was searching for his wallet under the seat, which is why it was moved up?

Something rubs me the wrong way about this scrap yard situation.

I hope this is ok to post?

Did everyone read that story that a woman missing from British Columbia was found alive in well 52 years later? Apparently she started over with a whole new family, etc... Her name is Lucy Johnson. It's in the Huff Post today. No real details revealed besides how her real daughter found her through a "step sister" she didn't even know she had.

I agree Jerry. The scrap metal yard and wallet left at home are what I keep going back too. And the seat in the car being closer to the steering wheel, and now the added detail of no steering wheel lock thingermagigger being in place. Something happened at the scrap metal yard and someone drove his car to the train station. IMO. With that said, I also shift to him leaving of his own accord. UGH.

 

[CuriousAmI]

All I can say is this.......I can't keep posting on this case for 52 years. I'm consumed by this case as it is.

Serious question. I joined this site a few weeks ago because I found it while researching this case, and really liked the way everyone works together, respects opinions, etc. is it normal to have people show up, post a few really offbeat posts then disappear?

HBO heard about RM missing and wants to film the story.

Agreed - I am totally consumed by this. I think about RM all the time.

 

[CuriousAmI]

President of HBO???? On the RM FB search page? I don't think so. There has been no press whatsoever on this case.

Ida also had a bit of a contentious exchange with a poster.

Oh I have to check that out.


OT My allergies are so bad I have problems seeing...

Interesting, since he forgot his wallet. He must have had another ID on him or they knew him well enough.

He's from Long Island. Not president of HBO, president of an entertainment company, which maybe works with HBO?

Also, the dogs didn't get a hit of his scent at the train station, but his car was there.
