Disappearance

He left Lumberton, New Mexico, and got into a serious car accident that totaled his vehicle on the morning of June 29, 2016.
His vehicle was towed, and the tow truck driver dropped Edward off at the Uptown Video Store in Rocky Ford, Colorado around 4:00 pm. The video store had a bus stop, and Edward planned to buy a bus ticket back to Kansas City, Missouri.
The bus in this location only comes once a day, so he would have had to wait until early the next morning to catch a ride back home.
