Is he missing from Gallup, or Vanderwagen? Now in New Mexico, a distance of 20 miles isn't much, but did he live in Vanderwagen prior to the jail sighting?

Released from jail -- any report on why he was held there?

Cigarette burns on his forearms? Was this self-harm, or something else?

My family lives in New Mexico, the terrain is beautiful but there are very few people and plenty of wide-open spaces....
