The vital car or truck could possibly be “one that’s just not on the registration database” or just one typically stored off the street, the law enforcement chief claimed, renewing appeals for information on potential matches.

Even so, Lanier pressured again Thursday that “we are assured that the occupant or occupants of that automobile have data which is important to this investigation.”
The best cop explained that even with the rigorous “fascination” in the situation, not all people will be savvy to news of the research.
“Maybe your neighbor has 1 in the garage that they really do not generate incredibly generally. Maybe there is one particular that is just not on the registration database. Permit us know,” he reported.
