Confusing and sad.
His mother must be in such agony in a strange environment with strange details....

This is so concerning, hoping there is some update/news soon!

I’m desperately trying to post an update but I am unable to do so. I can not figure out why.

"The mother said she found a charge on her son’s credit card from May 4 for a service to move his car to the hotel parking lot."

Why were they at a hotel, and does she mean a valet service? Move the car from where to the parking lot?

also, "The mother said she found a charge on her son’s credit card from May 4 for a service to move his car to the hotel parking lot."

"“Sam is an endangered and vulnerable young adult, who doesn’t have a phone,” she said. “He doesn’t have any money. He doesn’t have a credit card, and he has no way to survive.”"

?

I am also super confused on how he both did and did not have a credit card...

 

[sunflowermomma]

I hope police are taking this seriously - we need a press conference. They really need to track Sam's boyfriend's movements before he ended his life IMO.

All so very very strange

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

<modsnip> what's allegedly going on?

ETA: After reading the obit, I'm just more all kinds of confused

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

such a shame when cases like this need help and yet...

 

[tarabull]

WHERE are you SAM?!?!?!

 

[Ontario Mom]

Sadly I think we all know where this will lead. Ugh.

 

[GMS]

Has it been reported where Michael Olarte was found deceased? Was it in Charlotte? Salisbury? Trying to understand why Michael would have the car taken to the Hampton Inn in Salisbury.

How very strange. Michaels obituary and Facebook make him sound like a devout Christian. Yet he was allegedly trafficking Sam, who was his boyfriend, and committed suicide? It’s not really adding up….

I think whoever wrote the obituary is trying to control the narrative. Very much IMO.
