Megan Leann Holden (search), 19, of Henderson was reported missing Thursday morning when she did not return home from her shift. The FBI (search) has joined the investigation, police said.

Martin, the Police Department's public information officer, said an East Texas Medical Center helicopter crew was searching the area for the 2002 pickup and officers were are also driving around the area. "We are actively pursuing leads and have teams out looking for her and the truck," he said.

I hope they dont patch him up until he gives them all the informatin they need. He can bleed to death if he doesn't.
January 21, 200521 yr This is my #1 fear now that I have a daughter. Big f***ing tough guy who wouldn't do JACK s*** to another guy for fear of getting his ass handed back to him on a plate. Coward....
January 21, 200521 yr He shows up 800 miles away! What did he do with her? My theory: She had a gun ( Has anyone talked to the family?), she decided to not pull it out right away and waited until there were on the road, shot him and jumped out. But where is she now? In the desert? Was he not wounded too bad and was able to beat her up and leave her in a ditch. If I were them I'd have people driving every possible route between the two points.

Apparently it's 1200 miles now. The police are talking to the family but they haven't said anything about what they've told them. I like your theory.. but, in case no one noticed.. she was abducted Wednesday night. If she's in a ditch in the desert.. I can't imagine she's in good shape. Tex, MOS.. have you guys heard anything about this on the news down there the past day & 1/2...?

Tex, MOS.. have you guys heard anything about this on the news down there the past day & 1/2...? Yeah, at first they were saying last night and then they updated it to Wed night. I guess the silver lining would be it's not too cold if she is indeed injured in a ditch.
January 21, 200521 yr Author Update: His name is Johnny Williams, and he claims to be shot by a latino at a car wash. He has minor wounds from the gun shot and LE is questioning him. Not looking good...

He was a lot bigger and stronger than here and he has shown up at a hospital. I hope I'm wrong, but my gut instinct tells me otherwise.

January 21, 200521 yr Author Update: Johnny Williams reportedly tried to hold up someone in an RV park and was shot by someone in that park in self defense. Police say the body was found 4 hours from Tyler. She was shot. Effing asshole.
January 21, 200521 yr Damn The level of cruelty that humans, especially men, are capable of inflicting is just staggering. :headshake
January 21, 200521 yr Author Per Gary Swindle, Tyler Texas Police. Speaking on CNN now: Her body was found 400 miles west from where she was abducted in Stanton, TX. She was found visible off the side of the highway. The MF'er apparently just tossed her out of the car. God.. this just pisses me off to no end!

But I don't believe there is really anything you can do with the body after murder that wouldn't piss decent people off.
January 21, 200521 yr Author The motive was her truck.. geezus.. the asshole couldn't toss her out ALIVE...??? Or leave her in the Wal-Mart lot.. ALIVE..
January 21, 200521 yr This asshole needs to fry. Don't kill him right away though, in fact, keep him alive as long as possible while inflicting maximum pain.

He should getting his place in Huntsville anytime now.
