Regarding the car at the airport. Rex Lee Douglas was last seen at St Louis airport in 1984, and didn't board his flight. He was there to conduct a 'land transaction'. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Almost sounds like there was some organized crime activity in real estate development there. Seems unlikely it’s a coincidence that two developers end up missing with their cars abandoned at the airport.

Douglas disappearance sounds especially odd because he checked his baggage into an airport locker, then told his wife he might take some side trips to places that were several hours drive away.

Before Jack was identified there were suggestions that those could be Rex Douglas's remains. He was a pastor. It would be interesting to learn more about his land transaction and if the similarities to Jack Langeneckert's case are just coincidence or more than that.
