Prayer vigil scheduled to be held for missing Missouri City woman, Karen Miles

A prayer vigil is scheduled to take place for a missing Missouri City woman.

The vigil for Karen Miles is scheduled to be held this Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Emmanuel United Methodist Church located at 8635 Glen Valley Drive in Houston.
 
More information about the POI, Devante Clark. According to the ABC 13 article linked in post #25, Texas EquuSearch notified LE that he is also a POI in two other cases they are investigating. In the two other cases, both from Oct 2023, vehicles were located but the people are still missing.

One of those missing people is undoubtedly Destin Henderson who has been missing from Houston since October 24, 2023, and EquuSearch has been involved in his case. His car was found in March 2024. The following link is for a new article, dated Sept 11, 2024 that has the information that Henderson's family has always been suspicious of Clark. The two men had been acquainted for about three weeks before Henderson disappeared.
The family says that Clark was stealing money from Henderson through Cash App. He would show up, unannounced, at Henderson's apartment and Henderson would hide from him. When Henderson went missing, Clark was nowhere to be found, but he was apparently not formally named a POI by LE in this case.

The first part of the long article is about Karen's case.

According to that article, the two potentially linked cases are from Oct. 24, 2023, and Oct. 26, 2023. We know Destin Henderson is the Oct. 24 case. I looked on NAMUS and there's only one missing person's case in Texas on Oct. 26, 2023: The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
Nestor Diaz, 17, is missing from Dallas.

I have no proof this is the case that might be linked, but it's the only one listed for Oct. 26, 2023. I also couldn't find any news articles about Diaz & NAMUS doesn't state if his car was found but not him. Just thought it was worth looking into.
