Here is an additional video interview where his dad says he texted and called Blake several times in the morning and he did not respond: http://www.wvtm13.com/article/trussville-parents-talk-about-search-for-missing-son/16615481
It was only after his son didn't answer in the morning that they called the roommates and found out he never came back to the dorm.
I am not meaning this toward the parents at all. I do not think that they are at any fault. The pinging app, did what BS's parent wanted it to do, and after logging in, and finding the address unusual at that time, the parent's didn't phone him that night, it appears.
It is odd to me. Having a child who I desperately tried to track down on phone, foot, and vehicle, on nearly a once monthly basis, I'd have been calling all over the place if I felt something was unusual, for that hour, and had an actual place to send someone too ( If I were local, I'd be sitting in front of the house myself).
This is a son, who was studying to become a pastor. He'd decided upon a place of education , that has guidelines, that 98% of U.S. college students would not ever entertain for even nano-second. To me, I'd not have ever thought to put a tracker on this 20 y.o. kid's phone. Which is it? A kid that you have to check in on randomly throughout the day? or The 20 y.o. young man, who is a junior in college? If it's the former, why not send someone out that night when things seemed unusual? If it's the latter, why is the tracking software on there? Were they making sure he was on the straight and narrow?
If so, did he have another life? Seeing someone that would have been unapproved? Something just went wrong that night?
I'm really reaching, I know...
