Aunt Reneeloveyou, I would hold your hand if I could! I hope you hear something soon, especially if it is not Jonathan.

Body found in a dumpster. OMG

!
Houston police received a call at about 9:30am. There were reports of a body in a dumpster, but it appears instead to be partially concealed in a drainage culvert surrounded by grass, just off the road. The scene is in an industrial area in the 900 block of East Hardy.

I dont like that news, I hope it is wrong!!

Are the people listening to scanners today?




Here is a map, but have to admit I am not too clear on the hardy road, there are several in this area:

A: JP home
B: Where body has been found

ETA: 15 mins in traffic

What would the time be straight down Crosstimbers?

I just mapped it - it's not far from where he was last seen.

Straight line down W. 43rd (turns into Crosstimbers at N. Shepard). 3.4 miles to East Hardy.

Then left to 900 East Hardy.

I hope this is NOT Jonathan

I fear the worst, that is too close.

8.1 miles from where body is from where boys apartment is

A poster above ended with that result, for some reason I get a huge list of Hardy's and had to pick the one most appropriate to the news article.

Without traffic, in my search, came up 10 minutes. I could assume a straight shot would be even less than that, but a local could REALLY help us out in this one.

I don't know - doesn't sound from the tone of this that it could be Jonathan:

[jill]

also, my Google maps is telling me that the route from where he was last seen to Schilder Drive off Hardy Toll Road - has tolls.

tolls mean cameras.

Sounds like it to me.

“I saw something floating in the water,” Rios said. “It looked like a person. I snagged it with a stick and brought it to shore. Then I realized it was a person.

[cluciano63]

Rios said the person was wearing a blue flannel shirt and seemed to have reddish blonde hair.
