Palestine couple seeking answers in son’s disappearance

The Olivers said David worked as a lifeguard at Holiday Inn Villages Resort in Flint and that he called and visited regularly, not going more than a couple of days without getting in touch with them.

The couple said they had set up conditions with David that he must stay in contact with them or he would lose his privileges of driving a car they owned.

After going several weeks without hearing from him, they texted to warn him of communicating, or they would be forced to take action to get the car back, they received a text July 17 telling them the car would be back the next day.

The next day, Kristi and David found the car parked in the street. Kristi said the seat position was in the wrong position for David to have driven it and there were children’s toys left in the car. They are not certain that the last message about the car came from their son or feel like someone else was driving the car when it was dropped off.

The couple reported their son missing to the UT Tyler Police Department in July and tried to file a report with the Tyler Police Department.

After failing to pay his rent, David lost his apartment and his belongings were recently removed and placed outside, including many items of value like video games and the consoles to play them, instruments and furniture.

“These were all things he had worked very hard for,” Kristi said. “I can’t see him just leaving them behind.”

The couple said they were told by UT Tyler that it looked like no one had lived in the apartment in a while and it had been trashed.
