“Can we conclusively say that someone went and checked every door handle of every vehicle out there?" Dixon said. "Obviously, we can’t say that.”
Sarbesh’s mother told Holt on Wednesday that he loved getting in cars.
“You just think, ‘Why didn’t I look there?’” Holt said. “It was right there. And you know it was a white SUV just like the one they have. When I saw that this morning I thought, ‘Oh, he might have thought that was his car.’”
She said the family had just gotten their white SUV.

“This morning she was just talking about him and how sweet he was and his personality,” Holt said Wednesday. “Just talking about how he was so friendly and happy and laughed all the time and that’s exactly like he was. And then she says, ‘I just can’t believe he’s not here. I just keep thinking I [will] see him.’”
