Ok, so LE doesn't have him missing because he didn't disappear until AFTER LE spoke with him.

Curiouser and curiouser. So he wasn't missing the same time as her and talked to LE before he went missing?

“Alvarez’s car was found outside the nightclub Wednesday morning. Estrada says Alvarez and Gomez been dating for about a year, but recently they’ve been arguing and took a ‘break’ from one another.

“She was having problems,” said Estrada, who works at the nightclub. “They were like in a situation where they felt like they needed a break. But, they’d take a five-day break and feel like they can’t live without each other and it was a back and forward kind of thing. So, at this point their relationship wasn’t good.”

Randy Avalo tells News8 police told him Gomez’s car was spotted at Newark Airport in New Jersey.”

Well now we know where he went. Hopefully LE finds him soon.

This happened in my city, and from what I've read in Facebook, there is talk that blood was found on a handle of a door in the back that's being tested. Also sounds like the bf may have gone to the Dominican Republic. Family is still hoping for a good outcome, nothing conclusive yet.

He knows what happened to her and when questioned took off. I would be willing to bet he has left the country.

Yep, he definitely did it, and then after he spoke with police he realized the jig was up and probably immediately left the country, MOO.

I do have a few questions ...
1)9-10pm sounds like a time that there would be employees/patrons in a bar, so I don't know how he had the opportunity to do this unless maybe in like a back storeroom or manager's office.
2)Did it say who originally reported her missing? I'm assuming it wasn't her boyfriend. Was it her family? Friends?
3)It would really help to know 100% if he left the country and WHEN, as that would allow for at least some loose theorizing as far as time frame. One could estimate what actions he could have possibly taken based on how much time he had.

#'s 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 etc) What is wrong with these people? Why can't you just break up or get a divorce? How is that not a better solution than MURDER?
