Found Deceased TX - Alan White, 55, seen leaving LA Fitness, Dallas, 22 Oct 2020 #2

[anonypotomous]

Has anyone mentioned why he was initially thought to be wearing gray but then was wearing red at the gas station?

Yes

I have a huge fear of timelines without links or sources. There’s nothing worse than a thread that goes off the rails with information that’s not accurate. I think if we create a timeline it really needs to have sources. That’s just my opinion. But the very first time on here is inaccurate. Rusty has stated that they both left the house at 4:45 AM.

UPDATE: Alan White's car has been found; he remains missing - Dallas Voice

Agree! Note that some of the MSM articles quote slightly different times. Since I have no way of knowing which one is accurate, I posted the data as is. Once again, here are the MSM sources (post 171 from this thread), and then the summary timeline (post 172 from this thread) Note: The Timeline is derived from post 171, the MSM sources.

[Ontario Mom]

Has anyone mentioned why he was initially thought to be wearing gray but then was wearing red at the gas station? Did he change clothes after working out? Was wrong information given or he could have been meeting someone and wanted to change.

2 of my college age kids who live at home are avid gym-goers and it's not at all unusual to see them come home in different clothes than what they left in. They always carry a bag with a change of clothes, and sometimes change before they work out, or change after they work out.

There's zero evidence or facts known in this case to speculate that he was meeting anyone, at this time.

Can you link the source that says 4:00 am please. I am very familiar with this case and have never seen this.

I'm pretty sure that's supposed to say 4:40am. A typo by either the post author or the MSM source writer.

 

[rosesfromangels]

Ugh....I just did a little map review, and my heart dropped. If you look at his home to where (the car) ended up....well it doesn't look good at all. I noticed the Hutchins Jail is close by where his car was found, as well as the McCommas Bluff Landfill.

ETA - based on what must have been the path to get to the end point, there absolutely would have been cameras most of the way.

and ETA more! This Perp(s) will 100% get caught. In my amateur opinion, this was a car jacking and the Perp(s) realized later the car was hotter than hot and dumped it. As to whether we will recover the Victim, unclear. Boy I hope I'm wrong on this speculation as to what happened here, but doubt I am. Sigh....this stinks.

Hi there - I provided the links to all the MSM sources that I derived the timeline from. If you see a typo or error, please feel free to correct and repost. Alternatively, please create your own timeline and post. It will likely be much better than mine! Thanks

 

[amandab]

Has any info been released about his phone records, if they've even been obtained? I feel like that piece of the puzzle would prove most helpful; there's so little to go on otherwise.

[ElementalLaura]

A concern that I have with the “carjacking gone wrong & then the car dumped because it was too hot” is that it doesn’t really seem like there was much heat for several days. Alan was reported missing on Oct. 22 and his case was designated “Attempt to Locate.”

Although his husband and, later, friends and family, began searching immediately, I’m not sure that would unduly alarm carjackers, nor necessarily would the Missing flyers and social media posts. The first media coverage I’m aware of was 5 days later, on Oct. 27.

I know, the saying is to never underestimate the stupidity of criminals. If it was a carjacking that escalated into kidnapping/murder — and that was not the original intention — maybe they panicked and perceived more immediate heat than there actually was. Maybe they dumped the car quickly after the incident and it just wasn’t located until Oct. 29?

Otherwise, they had 5 days to strip and/or flip the car before the first reporting we know of. That seems like enough time to do whatever the plan was for the vehicle. Unless you’re a stupid carjacker.

I still lean toward foul play, but am thinking Alan was targeted for some reason.

Abbreviated timeline from last seen to car located (in order of occurrence, not in order of reporting):

Oct. 22
6:01 am - Alan appeared on security video and paid for gas at 6:01 am Thursday, Oct. 22.

Ref. 1/ Search for missing Dallas businessman upgraded to ‘Endangered Missing Person’

6:15 am - Alan’s husband Rusty returns home (Ref. 1 above)

6:45 am - Rusty gets “a little panicky” because he knows Alan has a 7:00 am call (Ref. 1)

7:00 am - Rusty starts to go look for Alan. Alan’s brother Tim told Dateline that Rusty drove the route between their home and the gym. (Ref. 1)

11:00 am - Rusty filed a missing person report, #188623-2020, around 11 a.m. on Thursday with Dallas police Detective Carrington.

Respectfully snipped; sections extracted for focus and commentary response.
Yes, I think they dumped the car fairly soon (within 24 hours) and it just took that long to find.
As far as being targeted, I think he was targeted because of the snazzy Porche

Amateur opinion and speculation

 

[ElementalLaura]

I don’t think it was the Porsche or he’d have been found by now. But I don’t know what he knew or had that was worth someone taking him and perhaps killing him. MOO.

 

[Mr. Teddy]

Just my opinion but my current thinking is as he left LA fitness can be seen pulling off his top layer gray shirt in black and white video so the red one was likely under it. Probably was just hot and sweaty. Then I think he took highways home to avoid lights cruising around the southwest side of city 75s to woodall Rodgers to 35 and exiting inwood putting the racetrack gas station on the right and on the way home. We don’t have evidence of which route he took though. While there brightly lit pumping gas into his Porsche I think he was spotted and targeted for a crime. The other carjacking/kidnapping that occurred in that same area, similar time of day and within two weeks seems remarkably similar and would be interested to know their carjacking and targeting method as well as where they were at the time of AW’s disappearance. Even if they didn’t do it, it shows it can happen right there. I don’t think he was targeted by someone who knew him as I think they would have expected him to come up Lemmon avenue or would have had to carjack him in his own alley or street where there would be cameras.

 

[Jonesjones]

Does anyone think this could be a self-harm case? I keep going back and fourth with scenarios. This case really just blows my mind.

 

[swedeheart]

If he was car-jacked, then where is he? My assumption is most car-jackers aren't skilled killers who know how to hide a bodies. Wouldn't his body have turned up quicker if this was a car-jacking? Imo.

 

[Bridger]

Does anyone think this could be a self-harm case? I keep going back and fourth with scenarios. This case really just blows my mind.

I’ve always thought he disappeared of his own volition. Either self harm, or just stepped away. Nothing else makes sense based on the facts we know.

Carjackers take cars and use them in other crimes or strip them. Either a body or a traumatized victim is soon found and the victim’s bank accounts are accessed. Or at least attempted. Street gangs don’t hide bodies. Hitmen need to produce a body to be paid.

Might change my mind if it turns out the car yields interesting evidence. Only reasonable murder in my mind would involve someone close to him with a very personal reason to want him dead. And that person would have to have no expectation of collecting insurance money (since there’s no body). Just seems very unlikely.

 

[Mitch1]

I definitely lean toward self harm. It was just such a short distance from RT to house. It would have to be something quite compelling to get me out of my vehicle at a stop sign or light and brandishing a 9 ain’t one of them. I am though speculating that the car doors lock while in drive and someone wouldn’t be able to just open the door. I do slightly -very slightly struggle with the fact it appears he was headed in the direction of the home, but then I remember Leanne Beardan-she walked out of her in laws home and walked down the road (to commit suicide) but turned around and began walking back to the house and again changed her mind and headed back down the road.
