    I think he’s dead. Honestly, I’m sad. Dylan seems like a good person. But if he really ran into a barefoot crackhead, and let him use his phone, and then maybe said some insults or was threatening, and some idiots really gave that crackhead a ride to his house, and his boots were taken off, well, looks to me like he’s either being tortured right now, or the easiest conclusion, he’s dead.

      What the hell is wrong with you? Keep your terrible thoughts to yourself, if you’re going to be like that.

        I have to agree with you. Sucks, but your probably right. I feel the same way every time I pass the missing posters at Walmart.

      The man was barefoot and bloody. Dylan didn’t give him a ride and didn’t let him use his phone. He called his relatives to tell them about the strange encounter and that he felt the man was dangerous. Dylan’s grandmother was the last person he talked to telling her he had to put his grain truck in the shed because it was starting to rain and he didn’t want his seeds to get ruined. He disappeared putting his grain truck in it’s shed which was 5 miles away from his RV. The grain truck was found in the shed, but the pickup truck found back at his RV looked like someone short drove it with the seat pushed forward and the pistol missing from the glove box. Plus the grain truck looked power washed and the 4 wheel drive was engaged and Dylan and his family all knew that the 4 wheel drive didn’t work. Dylan’s pickup was also locked and Dylan never locked his pickup. They found Dylan’s keys missing the key fob, his boots he wears everyday, but Dylan, his wallet and cellphone are still missing. Such a sad story of a young man working hard at his farming dream and then in an instant something bad had to have happened to this young man for him to disappear without a trace like this.
