What story did Ardora's boyfriend give at the time? Was he cooperative? Has he remained free from legal troubles all these years?

I found an article for 2023 about Ardora After 30 years, missing Indiana woman’s case heats up

 

[spartanx]

I think the boyfriend went out with her, someone took her with his help... and then the murderer maybe what insults he did to her... I hope one day the truth will be known...
either way
rest in peace

After 30 years, missing Indiana woman’s case heats up

By Erica MorseFor Victims News OnlinePublished 1:35 pm., April 25, 2023 (MICHIGAN CITY, INDIANA) -- Ardora Hoga went for a motorcycle ride with her boyfriend on August 16th, 1993. She never returned. Ardora 'Doddy' Hogan disappeared 30 years ago. New information uncovered in the past week...

<<It was late in the afternoon, around 3 or 4pm, when Ardora, known by her loved ones as ‘Doddy’, got a visit from her then-boyfriend, Wendell ‘Wayne’ Lampkin. Lampkin offered to take her for a motorcycle ride.

According to Doddy’s brother, Scott Pender, his sister didn’t want to go with Lampkin that day; Doddy was reportedly nervous about a conversation she recently had with police about her boyfriend’s possible involvement in a crime.

“She didn’t want to go with him, Scott told Victims News Online. “She was worried he knew she talked about that gun”.

Scott was referring to a 1993 police interrogation Doddy underwent about a gun found in her possession. Loved ones tell VNO Doddy identified her boyfriend, Wendell ‘Wayne’ Lampkin, as the owner of that weapon.>>
