UPDATE: April 5
Investigators say they have found some possible clues in the case of the man who they believe was abducted last Friday morning near his home in the Oxford Circle neighborhood.
Police now say the man was taken by at least three males in masks, who were in a newer-model Ford Explorer, along East Godfrey Avenue near Summerdale Avenue around 2 a.m. Friday, March 31.
Federal authorities have been helping police, and together they say they have found a lot of video, as well as some clothing nearby, which they believe matches what the missing man was wearing. They have to still test the clothing for DNA to see if it belongs to him.
