Oh no. I'm so sad to hear this.
I hope they find the people that did this. I do wonder if they found him in the car.
I got the "impression" that he was gay also. Not that it matters. He seemed to be such a great friend.
RIP Abe.

abbyfick: Can you tell if the area he was found is anywhere near where you spotted the car you reported to the police?

I'm so sad to hear this but I am glad his family has some measure of resolution, however tragic. Hope the police solve this quickly.

Wendybtn, his body was found on the outskirts of Siler City, his hometown. The car I called the police about was in Raleigh, about an hour east. Someone else just linked to an NBC article that indicates his vehicle still has not been found, so if that's true and Raleigh PD did dispatch officers to check my tip it sounds like it was unrelated after all. I will be curious if any more details are released, if and when his vehicle is found.

Abbyfick,
Did you happen to notice the decal in the rear window of the green Mini you saw?

Charminglane, it was parked facing me, behind a chain link fence a few feet off the road. I could not see the back of the vehicle.

I also don't know if the windshield was cracked (I think that was mentioned in an article I saw too). It was not obviously damaged but I can't rule that out, I was in traffic and all I can say with certainty is that I saw a green mini parked by itself in a weird place.

May I ask what gave you that impression? I'm just curious.

oh no! I am sad to read this :(

im not local so maybe there is rumor out there about him being gay? I don't get it from looking at him.

Gay has a look?

So the friend that he did know apparently did know who the two strangers were has he named them? I sure hope so. Unless all three are involved. I'm interested to know how this case turns out. What a waste of a young life.

I brought up the possibility of him being gay based on the way some things were worded in the articles. My reason for bringing it up was to say that I hoped this was not a hate crime. It is not always safe to be gay in rural NC.

I do hope they find out who did this and justice can be served. My heart aches for his family and friends

Hi all, this is my first post on WS. I saw a story in the local news yesterday about Abe (I live in Raleigh, about an hour east of Siler City), and later saw this thread while lurking the forums. Yesterday afternoon, I also saw a green mini cooper parked in an empty, fenced parking lot in a part of Raleigh that I don't know very well. Something about it bothered me, because it was parked right up on the fence, and... then I remembered this thread, and the picture of Abe's car. It's very likely not related, but I couldn't just forget about it. I left a message for the Siler City detective in charge of this case, and I also called Raleigh PD. I was told by the dispatcher that a patrol would go out and check the car. Nothing new in the news today so I'm guessing it was just a coincidence. But I have to say I am a little shaken up still because I've never given a tip to the police before, and the odds of seeing such a distinctive vehicle the same day that I learned about this case... I don't know, I'm probably being weird. I really hope that Abe is found soon so his family can have answers, whatever those may be. The circumstances around his disappearance sound really shady, so I am concerned for his wellbeing. I'll be bookmarking this thread and hope that someone will have an update soon.

I'm also more aware of what is happening around me now and in Aus we have some fugitives on the run and was in the area also, you just never know if you might see something
