I notice the NamUs entry has a retired detective listed as the point of contact for Austin PD. This would be a good case to follow-up with Austin PD on during National Cold Case Month in September.
An ex coworker lived in the apartment complex where the vehicle was found. He had the white string in his possession when questioned. His father was a senior officer with APD, her friends were told he had the case against his son dropped.
Can you email me? I’d like to follow-up.
It was well known among her friends that the person mentioned by user41 lived in the apartment complex.
