Found Deceased AL - Edward Reeves, 29, & Kendrick Stokes, 30, Montgomery, 7 Nov 2017

My guess is they never actually left.

Very possible. I think the key to the case no matter what is with that friend.

Wasn't it Kendrick's brother they went to see?

One article said friend and another said brother posted near the top.

My first thought was drug deal. I am in no way saying drugs were involved but it explains them going somewhere AND that the friend started calling looking for them almost immediately (if true). IF he gave them money to go score then he was probably pretty pissed or pretty scared pretty quickly (didnt he start trying to track them down almost immediately or am i misremembering?) Either a "those mf'ers ran off with my money, where the hell are they?" anger or a "Man I TOLD them not to mess with those bad dudes" fear.
Again just my immediate thought when I read the story. NO info that drugs were involved; however, even if they were, these boys' killer (s) need to be caught and those two should still be alive.
Really hoping this doesn't sound wrong.

My thoughts are along those lines as well. I stated before that it seems like you'd tell somebody where you were headed if you were leaving and planning on coming back, but since the friend or brother or whomever it was didn't tell police where they were going, I immediately figured it was something illegal, most likely to buy drugs. Otherwise you'd say, "Yeah, they ran to to the gas station to buy some chips." It doesn't sit right with me that the person wouldn't know where the two were headed. When somebody leaves my house and says, "Hey, I'll be right back," my immediate question would be: "Where are you going?"

this is also absolutely possible. I think the friend knows more than he is telling police regardless, even in this case, he likely has some idea of who the dealer is (and should be able to get that kind of info from phone records)

'I just miss him’: Family pleads for answers in ‘heinous’ unsolved murders of Atlanta rapper, Alabama promoter

It’s been more than a year since the bodies of two missing men were found dead in rural Macon County and the mother of one of them said the grief seems to be getting worse, not better, with time.

Atlanta-based rapper Edward Reeves, also known as Bambino Gold, and promoter Kendrick Stokes, also known as Skooly, disappeared from Montgomery on Sunday, Nov. 4, 2017. Their bodies were discovered Nov. 17 and Nov. 18, 2017, about four miles apart.

No arrests have been made in the double slaying and Stokes’ mother said that compounds the pain.

Truly I feel that this is one of those cases where the players are known but putting together enough evidence to go forward with a charge and trial is the problem. These guys weren't killed by opportunistic random strangers, they just weren't. And they weren't killed until they came back home, went to the fair, and then left for friend's house. I know NOTHING but my gut tells me LE does and that this crime WILL be solved.
