Brit PrawatHostGreg and Debra were home that Sunday in 1997 when they got a call from their son's fiancee, Carrie, asking if they'd seen Keith.
They haven't, not since late Friday night at least, when they were all together over in Gainesville, Texas, celebrating Carrie's graduation.
But they're almost certain that he got home safe, because he had followed them back to Wichita Falls in his car, and he was behind them the whole way, right up until they turned onto their street, and then his apartment that he had was just, like, another two miles up the road.
Carrie knows that he must have made it to the apartment, because she said that she talked to him the next day, which would have been Saturday at, like, 9:40 PM.
But she was calling from the apartment, and it didn't look like Keith had even been there at all the night before.
His work clothes were on the floor, his bed didn't look slept in, which is really worrisome, because it's not like she just dropped in unannounced.
You see, the two 20-year-olds had just recently gotten engaged after 18 months of dating, and today was the big day where Carrie was supposed to be moving in with Keith.
She told him that she would be over at their apartment sometime between, like, 12:00 and 2:00 on Sunday.
So hearing all of this made Greg and Debra feel uneasy about something they saw that morning on their way to church.
But there had been a red Ford Mustang parked in this one exact spot in the lot that Keith used to always park in.
Now, when Debra peers out the window, she sees the Mustang still there, now late into the afternoon on Sunday.
It is literally parked over the same, like, old oil stain [laughs] from Keith's previous car.
Now, this car wasn't Keith's, but this car had dealership tags on it, and Keith had been working at Ron Roberts Ford dealership for, like, the past couple of months.
And one of the perks of his job as a salesman is that if you sell enough cars, you get to borrow cars off the lot.
What is super weird about this, though, is that Keith wasn't supposed to be parking in that spot anymore.
