You are probably right Clemenza, but I just cant get my head around this simple fact. IF the video actually exists, and IF the family is truly seeking help, then this FACT is TOO HUGE not to mention. If he did in fact come home after the scrap yard, then it would be of greater help to say "HIS CAR WAS LAST SEEN DRIVING DOWN ____BLOCK at 2:45pm." Even if they cant verify its him driving, you just dont simply skip over this fact.
Then, a lot of the neighbors on the surronding blocks would be more valuable, and pressed for info. His car is that loud and that noticeable, again, someone would have seen something. As I mentioned a million times, mail in this area gets delivered around that time, landscapers are out, school buses, parents waiting for school buses, people walking their pets, people out for a smoke, etc.... SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE seen the car, if not him.
But yet they NEVER mention this, they keep going back to the scrap yard at 2:15.
IMO---IF this video exists, it somewhat downplays the significance of the scrap yard. Not completely, because there may be a reason (perhaps something he saw spooked him), that made him run home from the scrap yard and leave again. But the simple fact it is NEVER mentioned is too big to ignore IMO, and leads me to believe the entire statement is just rumor.
