appeared to be upside down when first pulled out. Supposedly on the other side of road than his last known direction of travel. Just wondering how no one saw the car crash into the woods. That's a heavy traveled road even that early in the am. Sad for his familyThey pulled a dark grey sedan out. Prayers for the family.
I'm local but in a different small city so not incredibly familiar with these locations. I am wondering if maybe he was meeting at a job site instead of going into Comfort Monster office. He gave very specific arrival times to his wife and boss when he talked to them that morning. I would think saying something like 6:42am would be because he is quoting what GPS says. If he was going into work, he probably would not need to GPS it.. not sure, only speculation at this point. I haven't found any recent information in news about this. My local moms' group has posted that there has been a meal train set up for the family, but they are advising not to donate to anything requesting money because they haven't set any of those up. Of course a lot of "talk" on social media but nothing from his wife today. She posted a lot yesterday on FB.
I'm on this side of town, fairly familiar with the area and was driving that morning, although an hour later. The storm was crazy, it was hard to see. I can understand how he wasn't seen driving off the road, especially since it was still dawn, when the light quality can make it hard to see.I'm somewhat local and remember it was a pretty strong storm. It looks like the car was found near Crabtree Creek. There's a USGS monitoring station about a mile upstream from there that gives an idea how high the water was at that time. It looks like it was up about 5-6 feet.

ETA I agree with @borndem. It's no fun to drive near there, even in good weather.
Followup will be interesting although not change the outcome. It seems the family/friends were only ones searching for him. I know adults have different criteria before they are deemed missing. I guess the only way LEO would have gotten involved that dreaded morning is if someone had seen the vehicle crash or go off into the woods. So very sad.
