That says he dropped his friend off but then it says the friend reported seeing him in his driveway the next day. Hmm.... That's odd. :thinking:

I can't seem to find where John supposedly dropped the friend off to map it, but an unidentified body has been found in Hot Springs: http://www.hotsr.com/news/2018/jan/17/body-found-vacant-lot/?breaking

"The crime lab determined Boutilier died in a car accident."

Was he still in his vehicle/was it nearby?

Seems like incomplete reporting, doesn't it? No mention of the car... :thinking:

The Sentinel Record of Hot Springs reported that Martin Wells, who lived nearby, said he was checking the water level around noon when he saw what he thought was a dead animal. He said he realized it was a human as he moved closer. Wells got his neighbor, Allen Denton, who called 911. Denton said the body was hung on a tree in the middle of the creek.

I'm thinking he was either ejected from the vehicle or maybe stumbled out disoriented?

Crash location: (Creek running past is the same as he was found in)
