Family says the couple left Panhandle around 3 p.m. Their tags were seen in Groom around 7 p.m. and again in San Jon, N.M., around 9:30 p.m.

It’s only a 2 1/2 hour drive home from Panhandle. Both destinations noted in the article are not on the way home and are actually in opposite directions of each other.

With that level of mileage they certainly would have needed to get gas at some point. Those country roads out in rural Texas can be confusing on a good day. There are stretches where you won't see anyone for miles and miles. I hope they are found soon.

A 2024 Camry with a full tank of gas can go over 500 miles on the highway. Over 600 if it’s a 4 cylinder.
That last article mentions a sighting in Santa Rosa the next day. So heading west from Panhandle.
Does a newer Camry not have any GPS or navigation on it?
I can’t imagine they are carrying enough oxygen to hold Gary over this length of time.

My partner is in vehicle telematics and said a 2024 Camry would have the ability to do GPS tracking, but the customer would need to opt into the service. The actual units in cars are usually sold to the dealership by a third-party vendor that manages the telematic app. If the Lightfoots didn't activate that service there is no way to track them via that method. However, new cars are basically computers, so Toyota may have the ability to assist law enforcement.
