Def not looking good
I live here in The Woodlands (about 7 minutes from Rookies and On The Rox where he was last seen by his friend). My husband works with a close friend of the guy that was out with TJ the night he went missing.
There were a few mentions on the fb page about TJ being involved in an altercation at Rookies (the first bar they went to) with an ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend. That came from a bartender at Rookies. That information QUICKLY disappeared and hasn't been mentioned since.
Then, about 15 mins ago, my husband told me that the friend he was out with that night has met with investigators multiple times and there was, in fact, an altercation between TJ and the ex-girlfriend. Apparently, he was pretty drunk and put his hands on her in a not-so-nice way. Needless to say, her boyfriend and his friends didn't like that at all. The arguement escalated and TJ was asked to leave Rookies. So when he told his father that he was "locked out", that's why.
After that happened, he and his friend headed down to On The Rox (just across the street and down a stop-light).
Obviously isn't too hard to figure out what probably happened next......I'm sure the ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend have spent LOTS of time with LE. Its a pretty small community here, I'm SHOCKED that no one has spilled the details on the ex-girlfriend yet. Not even her name or her boyfriend's name. LE must be doing a REALLY good job of keeping the lid on it so far.
I will say, On The Rox is in a strip-mall plaza directly on a main road. There's plenty of traffic there around the time he left. And there's not anywhere to really get any privacy right around that plaza.
If he did happen to run into the ex-gf and her boyfriend again, my guess is that she would have gotten him to meet her outside, and maybe even asked him to go for a ride. If he was angry enough to get into an arguement at a bar with her, I'm figuring he'd probably have been happy if she wanted to talk to him or go for a ride.
Obviously he wouldn't hop in a car if her boyfriend and his friends were in it, but if it was just her - maybe....
Perhaps she set him up?? If she said "let's go for a ride and talk", there are plenty of out-of-the-way spots within minutes of the bar where her boyfriend could have been waiting to confront him.
Seems crazy that her boyfriend and his friends would intend to actually kill him, but no one knows who her boyfriend is yet. And its possible that they beat him up and killed him by accident......TJ is a pretty small guy, and if he was drunk and had no one to back him up, it could've gone pretty darn badly.
Hopefully LE will get ex-girlfriend to spill it, and they'll be able to find him.
I wouldn't think a bunch of kids would be very good at keeping their mouths shut for too long.
