Bumping case up.

He was mentioned in this article from 2023:

Missing in Texas: A look at unsolved cases in Bastrop County

FOX 7 Austin's Angela Shen took a look at some other unsolved cases in Bastrop County, some of them going decades back. This includes missing persons cases and a look at how the office approaches cold cases.

I wonder how/ how much the area around his vehicle was searched. And how likely were the possible sightings in "Kyle, Buda, and Austin?" Were they probably mistaken identity or were any confirmed?

There isn't much about this case to be found online, unfortunately.

What reasons would there be for a case like this have so little info online? Seems weird that someone of this age would disappear and there is almost nothing about his case online.
