Agh! So many questions.

He is missing from Moreno Valley. One of the links lists that as his city of residence as well. Why, then, did it take so long to report him missing? I thought maybe he lived elsewhere and was just passing through, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Did someone suspected of nefarious involvement pass away and now it's "safe" to talk about this man missing?

What circumstances would lead to his car not being found after all this time? Under water? Crashed down the side of a mountain in a heavily forested area? Chop shop?

The linked posts say he left voluntarily. Is that an important detail? Was it on good terms? Did he say he was going anywhere? How frequently did he visit family?
