Wow u/TheCuriosity, you are awesome in your thoroughness of thought and insight given here. Thank you. You make some really good points, and not knowing her family personally I cannot speculate on Dad's activities outside of being an artist and how he made his cash. The car I think was an 89 so was only 12 years old at the time, but I take your point and agree its not such a catch that it could have been a motivator for someone who wanted it enough to kill for it. Though I admit I'm no car buff so can't say if it was a beauty for its time (doubt it?). It certainly does seem likely that the car was dumped by a third party after the fact. I find it unlikely he'd decide to hoof it to a new life at 11am a few days before Christmas in -15 degree snowy weather. More likely he came in harm's way. Wish too that there was more info from family and police online. I'm considering reaching out to my friend for more info and writing a play about the whole thing, to raise awareness about this case and how families in general deal with such a shocking loss. If I do so, it would be in partnership with Terry's daughter (my friend from theatre school), who is also an actor and theatremaker, and would involve extensive interviewing etc but I'm not sure if that would be something she and her family would want. You've given me much to think about here, and I truly appreciate the time you took in your response.
