They don't usually run those with just one guy right? What are we missing here?

Good point Irish......I hadn't even thought of that! Now that you mention it, I've never heard of a solitary driver of an armored car. Hmmmm

This story just ran on Good Morning America. The parents are saying he is a family man and could not have taken this himself. I think they said he was in the Guard.

Ok, in this article it says the suspect is 34, and his father is 43.
Wait.....WHAT?!?!?

"Investigators are attempting to locate the missing driver, Trent Michael Cook, 24. Cook is 5'6", 165lbs.,"

This is sad....why do this when you know you are going to be suspected and probably caught?

He would have to know that he wouldn't get away with it. I don't understand why someone would risk 20 or more years in prison for any amount of money. I don't see how it would be worth it. It would seem that he would be given a background check before being hired to drive an armored truck full of money.
