Also, they MUST have his phone records by now. Maybe they found evidence on his phone..?

Totally agree. The one thing you didn’t say is drugs. That area of town is iffy. Going into a gas station and looking at the phone makes drugs seem reasonable here (no mods I am not talking bad about the potential victim it is a possibility).
There is a Crimestoppers reward for information that leads to the arrest and indictment for a felony offense related to Alan's disappearance. The status of Alan's missing persons report changed Dec 16 from 'Want to Locate' to 'Endangered Missing' at which point the case shifted to the Special Investigations Unit with a high-profile homicide detective assigned his case.
I very much doubt Alan "did a runner" MOO.
"This case is now being worked by the Special Investigations Unit of the Dallas Police Department. Anyone with information regarding Mr. White’s whereabouts or information related to the case is being asked to contact Detective Eric Barnes #8854 at 214-283-4818 or eric.barnes@dallascityhall.com. Please reference case #188623-2020."
I think the Crime Stoppers reward is described that way because it's offered nationally and in select countries outside the US. They just threw in the basic details to describe how the reward works in general. That in itself isn't indicative or telling in regard to whether a felony has occurred, JMO.Interesting, on the actual page, it specifically does not say the Crime Stoppers reward is "related to James Alan White's disappearance". Link Endangered Missing Person – James Alan White
It's just a generic info line about how the reward with them works:
"Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information called into Crime Stoppers that leads to the arrest and indictment for a felony offense. Call Crime Stoppers at: (214)373-TIPS, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
I'm not even convinced the DPD has evidence that a felony offense has taken place.
They certainly don't mention it in their plea to the public:
"This case is now being worked by the Special Investigations Unit of the Dallas Police Department. Anyone with information regarding Mr. White’s whereabouts or information related to the case is being asked to contact Detective Eric Barnes #8854 at 214-283-4818 or eric.barnes@dallascityhall.com. Please reference case #188623-2020."
Granted, Det. Barnes is a homicide detective but that's pretty common for the homicide department to handle missing persons.
I don't know really which way I lean on this. I think it would be sad as heck to learn he voluntarily walked out of his own life, but people DO do that, as heartbreaking as it is.

It would be interesting to have a profile to the people that have walked away from their lives. I just think it is unlikely that a middle aged, married person, with probably a decent amount of assets would leave all that behind.I think the Crime Stoppers reward is described that way because it's offered nationally and in select countries outside the US.

Walking out on his life is certainly a possibility which can't be dismissed. But the update to Endangered after so much time had passed, made me think some sort of evidence came through which pointed that way. Gosh with so few facts, it's really difficult to discuss this case. I wish Det. Barnes would do another MSM interview with a reporter who would boldly ask the right questions.
The crimestoppers reward is posted on the DPD's update of Alan's case. I'm not clear on how it could not be related.
Endangered Missing Person – James Alan White
I think the last sentence of your post is the most relevant. He couldn’t return to safety without assistance. To me, they changed status when absolutely clear this was not a walk away. That is my interpretation.LE changed that status after they interviewed family members for a second time. "Want to locate", sounds like a "he took off scenario". Even though the car was already found.
So LE must have been provided by some very convincing additional evidence for them to change that status.
Missing endangered person means a person with a developmental disability as defined in RCW 71A.10.020(4) or a vulnerable adult as defined in RCW 74.34.020(17), believed to be in danger because of age, health, mental or physical disability, in combination with environmental or weather conditions, or is believed to be unable to return to safety without assistance.
Missing endangered person means a person with a developmental disability as defined in RCW 71A.10.020(4) or a vulnerable adult as defined in RCW 74.34.020(17),
This is the definition (BBM) provided by the Dallas CBS affiliate when reporting on Marisela Botella who is also classified as "Endangered Missing:"
"Endangered missing,” means law enforcement suspects the missing person is endangered or the victim of criminal activity.
1 Month After Marisela Botello Last Seen In Deep Ellum, Detectives Change Status To 'Endangered Missing'
I think the oddest thing to me is how long it took to go from missing to MSM news. If I remember it right it was 3 days. Since that time, I wish they would have created a Facebook page.What if the family thinks Alan is vulnerable to something? Self harm, an addiction, etc.
They obviously want the police involved but might not necessarily want a lot of publicity because that could make the situation worse.
I don't know what they are going through, so I'm not going to judge their actions or lack of actions.
If he's voluntarily missing and eventually located, I'm sure there would be some statement from the police that the case is closed but no details necessarily made public.
Something that falls in place with the oddities involved so far. The nonchalant awareness he seemed to have at the RaceTrac. Pump #1 then Pump #2. The lack of urgency to get back inside the car and mess with his cellphone. Like I've said before, it feels as if he is making an effort to be seen on CCTV at the same time as whatever was happening on the phone for proof? of his location and leave no doubt that it was HIM who texted, called, hung up on the person on the other end, or sent an email
IMO there was a unmentioned reason that his husband RJ was panicking as soon as he was. Driving the route that AW would have taken, calling hospitals and so worried by 7am. Something wasn't right by the time the husband returned to their home from his workout MOO. I feel as if there may have been a handwritten note from AW left as the two men went out their door that morning around 4ish am.Very interesting take on the 'scene' at RaceTrac. Now that you mention it, going into the store, not buying anything, lurking at the pumps..
Need to ponder a bit more on that.
