I wasn't expecting that update.

Lol, my bad I got the months mixed up. I see he is still currently missing and this arrest was the month prior.

The office is searching for Bryce Dingler, who was last seen on Wednesday near Butler Road, about a mile Jolly on U.S. 287.

Dingler's vehicle, a 2015 White Ford F150 lifted with large tires and Dallas Cowboy's Star on tailgate, was left on the side of U.S Highway 287 Wednesday morning.

The sheriff's office said Dingler could be on foot, hitchhiking or hiding.
 

Dingler's 2015 white Ford F150, featuring large tires and a Dallas Cowboys star on the tailgate, was discovered early Wednesday morning, July 17. His ID and phone were left inside the truck, according to a press release from the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
 

Bryce was at the courthouse Tuesday morning to midday. That night, he told his parents he was going to his apartment in Plano. His license plate was pinged in Plano later that evening. Wednesday morning around 8, his truck was spotted off Highway 287 on the Wichita Falls-bound side. Family tried to reach him throughout Wednesday, but he never answered his phone. His parents drove to where his truck was seen and found all of Bryce's personal
belongings still inside.
 

The last time the family saw him was June 16th a family gathering.

-his truck was found near Butler Road Tuesday evening, just a mile west of Jolly on US Highway 287
-truck was found vacated near a Texoma gas station.

“His dad reached out, I reached out to him and he never answered the phone. Sometimes, you might go two or three hours from not hearing from him because he’s busy with whatever task at hand. But for him to go, at this point we are on the other side of 48 hours of not hearing from him, this is very unusual for Bryce.” He said.

“They decided to ping the phone and then that night it was pinged in the general area of Jolly near Jolly Truck Stop. They looked in the vehicle, they found Bryce’s cell phone, wallet, and medication. At that time they then contacted the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.” Clay County Sheriff Deputy Trent Sharp explained.

“Someone had called into Wichita Falls and said that they thought they saw him walking around yesterday morning walking around in the area. They didn’t know he was missing at that point or they would’ve, ‘Hey, come with me, let’s get you where you need to go.’” Hunter explained.

The Put Me First circular stated a license plate reader picked up Dingler’s truck around midnight in Plano. He was wearing a light color T-shirt, dark grey athletic shorts and tennis shoes. He has a left lower arm sleeve with pine trees, leaves and a wolf. He is 5-foot-6-inches tall, 135 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.

It continues the truck was spotted July 17 around 6:30 a.m. on the westbound side of U.S. 287 by Duck Creek. Put Me First states Dingler had a “promising job interview” the day he went missing, noting this is “not normal behavior.”
 
I am following this case very closely, as it is my local area.

Briefly, on a local television report it was mentioned that his license plate was reported at WinStar It is not far from his hometown of Nocona.

Has anyone else heard of this WinStar event? How would this fit into this very confusing timeline?
 
I really feel for his family.
I hope LE is continuing to search heavily and carefully from where the vehicle was found. The article in post #1 says they have done ground and drone searching, but this could be extremely serious.

Is this a place where you could exit your vehicle and walk into "endless" desert?
 
I imagine perhaps due to being out on bond from criminal charges? See Friday am Grace G post above. Or "associates" with respect to "hiding." It is very specific. Hope he is ok and will be found.
Total speculation on my part, the location of his truck is only 40 miles or probably less from his boy hood home town. I wonder if LE suspect a friend from his past could have rendezvoused with him? I also noticed the date of his arrest was the same date his family said they last saw him. I wonder if the arrest involved a family member?

No endless desert There's a large truck stop nearby where his pickup truck was located and on his Finding Bryce Dingler FB group it says an area of Butler Road was searched over the weekend.
