Cody Myers went missing on Saturday, but his car popped up in Salem during a crime at a local gas station.

His family says Cody Myers left his home in Lafayette on Saturday for the Newport Jazz Festival. He was going alone. That was the last time his family saw him.

Sunday a clue emerged for Cody's family. According to Klein, who spoke with detectives, Cody's car was spotted Saturday night around midnight driving erratically on I-5 near Salem.

A short time later, around 1:00 a.m., Cody's car stopped at this gas station off of Lancaster Drive Southeast. His sister says Cody wasn't in the car, but a woman was driving. She was pictured in the store's security cameras used a stolen credit card to buy milk and cigarettes.

The store's clerk told us he chased after her as she sped off, writing down the car's license plate number.

Oh, wow, this doesn't sound good at all....praying for this family.
 
Wow....his car being used by someone else is a very disturbing detail.

This young man apparently ran into some serious trouble. It doesn't look like this case will have a favorable outcome.

Is that blowing the margins? I can't tell with the program I'm using.

I'm not far from these places. :eek: And I have a son about the same age. :praying:

"Casting Crowns" (on his Tshirt) is a Christian band and probably not a Tshirt that a rowdy kid would be wearing.
 
I wonder what time Cody left on Saturday? MSM says he was going to the jazz festival in Newport. The events on Saturday started at 9:30 am, but the music started about noon. (http://www.jazzatnewport.org/home.cfm?dir_cat=91272) So presumably he would have left early to mid morning. It takes less than 2 hours to drive from Lafayette to Newport.

He was alone, so it's hard to say if he made it to the festival or not. He did not text his family saying he made it, but he's 19, and might not have even thought about it. I wonder if he planned on staying in Newport that night for the events on Sunday, or if he planned to drive back that night?

Maybe something happened at the festival, and that person took the car and back-tracked to Salem? Or, since the person was also in possession of a stolen credit card, hopefully they just stole the car and Cody got stranded. Maybe his cell phone died and his charger was in the car? Have they tried to ping the phone?
 
He's 6'3" - that's pretty tall!

Here's a pic of a Plymouth Breeze. The article didn't mention the year of the one he was driving?

He appears to be a healthy, happy and attractive young man. I know his family is just crazy about now. I too like Casting Crowns. (shirt) Indicates to me he is confident in who he is and very well adjusted.

SWMNBN, I agree with your assesment that he may have gotten stranded. Perhaps even lost his wallet in the deal. I hope he turns up soon. The car wound up back in Salem? hmmmmmmmm
 
Thank you for the map. Oh my, first look by me and my heart says he never made it there. That would be "jumping to conclusions" I know but this is what MY logic says.
 
"Not only did they try to get fuel, but they also got a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, some ravioli in a can – which kind of tells me that maybe they live in the Salem area," said Klein.

There was another man in the car at the gas station but he had his head covered.

Myers' family now worries he may have been carjacked.

The white four-door Plymouth Breeze has an Oregon license plate that reads 025-CCH. It also has the word "Espresso" written on the lower part of both sides.

Hmmmm....who's credit card was used? I assume it's not Cody's or else that would have been said?

Milk and a can of ravioli? Sounds to me like the woman has a child or children.......

And that she must be somewhat local to the station where she "bought" the items, unless she carries a can opener with her and likes cold canned ravioli.

Geez, this doesn't sound good. Prayers that he is found safe!

Please note from the article at above link the owner of the credit card and the possible identity of the woman (and man in car) at the gas station:

At the gas station, a woman used a stolen credit card belonging to Leslie Pederson, a woman killed in Everett, WA, last week. Since the homicide, police have not been able to find Pederson's stepson, who recently was released from prison, or his girlfriend.

Yamhill County deputies are now investigating whether Myers became the victim of foul play when he crossed paths with someone linked to the killing. State police have scheduled a 2 p.m. news conference to update the public on the case.

This is not looking good for Cody at all.
 
Some information on the Pederson murder..
EVERETT, Wash. -- Police are looking for the husband and stepson of an Everett woman who was found slain in her home.

Leslie Pedersen, 69, was found dead on Wednesday in the mobile home where she and her husband, David Pedersen, lived.

Details from a search warrant described a gruesome scene that Leslie Pedersen's daughter found Wednesday when she saw her mother's body on a bed, her hands duct-taped together and her head wrapped in a bloody pillow. A sword was nearby.

When officers arrived, Leslie Pedersen's daughter told them that they should be looking for the victim's stepson, David Joseph Pedersen, 31.

According to court papers, David Joseph Pedersen was recently released from an Oregon prison where he served time on for robbery and assault. He is a mixed martial arts fighter who was put on medical leave two weeks ago after being knocked out.
