Illinois,
Indiana,
Iowa,
Kansas,
Michigan,
Minnesota,
Missouri,
Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

I wonder was "dakota" a self proclaimed name or did people call him like that. Sorry our posts crossed...so he introduced himself with the name of Dakota.
Say he is from North or South Dakota (Indian land) these states are the worse in organizing there missing and unidentified persons until this day.
I wonder why he wanted to travel to NC and how it fits in his background.
