I hadn't considered that possibility, how common is that vs. a hit & run where the vehicle just leaves the scene? Sort of opens the door to other things. Would anyone want to disappear him?
The thing with this though is that it would be quite the coincidence to be hit and killed by the rare vehicle that could then stow you away. You can’t fit a normal adult sized bike in many vehicles, except maybe a van or a pickup with a cab, assuming carrying no cargo. Maybe a large SUV if the person knew how to dismantle it. But you really wouldn’t also fit a full sized male body in there along with the bike. It would have to be a pretty decent sized vehicle with cargo space, pickup with hardtop cover for bed or van. It just feels really unlikely. Also unless I’m a remote area, a very visible task that would take some effort and time.
It is very rare but it's also very rare for an adult to basically vanish without a trace. Anytime a disappearance occurs with little to no clues or evidence I always assume foul play is involved. I didn't know him so no idea if he had any enemies or anything. From what I gathered he seemed like a pretty chill guy who kept to himself.
I thought the same thing but we are talking about Laramie Wyoming. Everyone and their mother seems to have a truck or large SUV. I agree it's unlikely but keep in mind a lot of those roads outside of town or trails for that matter are not super busy. So many factors would have had to line up for this to not be noticed but the possibility exists.
