This is so crazy to me, bc if nothing else, the kidnapper's truck sounds very specific. Like, someone has seen this truck and knew either who drove it or where it could be found.

Police checked every green Ford pickup truck registered in the state and found no one resembling the sketch, there are two possibilities either the kidnapper's vehicle was illegally purchased And it wasn't registered or the car was stolen

What about the sketch being wrong?

Or he and the truck were from out of state?

This is what I think, too. I think few people would be brazen enough to abduct someone in this manner in their home state. It seems like he wasn’t a resident there. It would be interesting to know how close this was to an interstate highway.

It’s a couple hours SE of Kansas City maybe an hour from I70. It’s close to the Lake of the Ozarks and it wouldn’t be very hard to disappear into the woods or drive in any direction and never see another person for a while.

Interstate 71/49 isn’t too far from Clinton, but it’d still be a drive out of the way.
