I wonder if he's an avid runner, has a pattern etc or just recently took it up? IMO

Rooting for him to be located safe.

I couold not find a Elkhardt Road in Shertz. Elkhardt Drive is actually a little bit East of central Schertz and can be seen running south from Interstate 35. Looks to have quite a few areas of open land, fields, etc. where he might have taken a fall off the roadway somwhere if he cut through any of that area while out jogging.

This may be the subdivision. Parklands Estates (note, the link says "San Antonio" but the building is in Schetz based on the map provided in the website.)

*****
Zacharias, who has Asperger’s syndrome and is described by his family as high-functioning and intelligent, has never stayed away from home overnight without letting his parents know.

The family says a witness has come forward who may have seen Zacharias jogging between 7 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Minutes later, the witness reported seeing him walking with an unidentified man.

“Then he saw him between five and 10 minutes later walking with an unidentified male,” said his mother. “This male was about 6 feet tall, had really blonde hair, like older.”

But his parents say the eyewitness' account has only deepened their concern.

Since foul play was not brought into it based on police statements we may likely never know the cause of death. The family may wish that to remain private and LE is not obligated to release the information to the media. Rest in Peace Zacharias.
