Press conference summary:
Ernesto's passenger van was found abandoned in a rural area on the side of Jessamine Road at about 12:17PM
Ernesto apparently died of a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head
Not exactly sure what route he took to get from his home in Miami-Dade to this rural area of Pasco County, but suspect he took I-75
At this point, they're not sure why he chose this location to kill himself or if he had any connections to the Pasco County area
Sheriff says it looks like he made a couple turns off I-75 to get to this location
A witness reported seeing a blonde woman sitting inside the trunk of the van yesterday afternoon
Currently working with the witness to make a composite of the blonde in hopes that she has Andrew (if she exists)
Bloodhounds did not catch Andrew's scent around the van
They found a pacifier and receipts inside the van, but none of them are within the past 36 hours, so they can't be used to trace Ernesto's route
There was no carseat inside the van
Ernesto MIGHT have been at the site where his body was found between 3 PM and 5 PM yesterday afternoon
They were told that a pickaxe should have been inside the van, but they haven't found one. Asking anyone who may have seen a pickup or a freshly-dug spot along the road to contact LE
The van had about half a tank of diesel. Trying to determine if he stopped at any gas stations to refill along the way
