No info at all on where that rental car was found?

Edit: I found a bit more here:

Missing & Homeless

His rental car was found near a homeless encampment in L.A., but it doesn't say what part of L.A. That's at least more specific than "in California."

John's wife has shared lots of information through posts, comments and replies. It appears she and LE know, based on evidence found, that John won't be located alive. I hope they get answers soon.

Missing John Bailey
2 Feb 2021
What we know so far- John left with "two other people" on July 16th, headed to CO. Here is CCT photos of one of them in AZ committing retail fraud. THIS is John! He did make it to CO - where he was arrested for a moving violation. He paid the fine and was released. The car had not been reported stolen at that point... We KNOW these two other people came BACK from out West- and John did not. We are on to you. The police know who they are. Most likely he was "hurt and disposed of" in CO. I even feel these two people could be following this page. Just know I will hunt you until the end of my days. And even into eternity.
A raging heroin addict doesn't go 7mths without ONE encounter with the police. I will find you my love. I will find you......

Lots of info here.
Grand Rapids Man Missing Since July May Have Traveled To Chicago
John's wife says that he had been living in his truck since May 2020 and would regularly shower at truck stops. She is worried about his well-being and believes that he might have been the victim of a serious crime due to money owed related to his substance abuse issues.

So...if his car was last seen in Chicago (and so was he) how does the Colorado information fit in?

This.

And I think they can just contact Websleuths if they want this thread removed.
