Was the location treated as a potential crime scene? Is the media report of a text message sent by him at 1am been confirmed?
Hi,
I had to look this up. Potential crime scene -- I've not seen any mention of that. Plus, his friend Amp, who posted the video said he went and stood on the back porch and looked around trying to get inside the mind of Vance and see where he might have gone.
Following is quote from a story at
Family of missing Unicoi Co. man Luc Vance says it’s as if he vanished
"The final contact anyone in the family has had with him was a text message that he sent the following forming at 1 a.m. with no indication of a problem. (CC: seems to be typo. Perhaps morning?)
"When he did not show up at Maple Grove Restaurant, which he owns, the family grew concerned.
“'He was gone. There’s no trace. No clues. There’s no leads. We have nothing. It’s truly like he just vanished,' Brinkley said. 'His cell phone was laying in the floor. But everything – his driver’s license – everything you would take with you that you need. It was all at his house.'
The family says they have been in contact with authorities who ended their search last Saturday, but the family isn’t stopping.
“'I think he’s out there, but I don’t think he’s lost,' his daughter Addison said. 'I feel like somebody has him. ‘Cause if he was out there he would already have come home because he has a business. I feel like somebody has him.'”

CC: WJHL is a TV station in Johnson City, Tennessee, part of a metropolitan area known as the Tri-Cities, and is 7.5 miles from Vance's home, according to Google Maps. Tri-Cities refer to Johnson City, Bristol and Kingsport.
According to the story, his daughter Addison is 11 and Brandy Brinkley is a cousin. They were part of the family group that went to WJHL on Nov. 13 to request coverage.
When searching, I noticed stories by another nearby TV station, WCYB, in Bristol TN/VA, about 33 miles away.
In the Amp video, which I partially watched last night, he said it was as if something caught his attention or maybe he just paused the movie to go to the bathroom, no one knows, but it's as though Vance just stepped out his back door and vanished.
The attached photo was downloaded from the WJHL story quoted, which said the photo was supplied by the family as the latest photo of Vance.
