Investigators Barbara and Martin Renteria said the Spring man's car was found June 6 on U.S. Highway 79 west between Jacksonville and Palestine.
“The windows were down, the battery was gone, and the hood was up,” Barbara Renteria said. “It was at mile marker 382.”
According to Barbara, the 2000 silver Chevy Malibu was destroyed by the towing company. However, a note was found on it that read “Please don't tow my car. Friends are picking me up.”
The note is supposedly from 31-year-old Brian Patrick Miller, last seen June 1. He has been a Spring resident for about the past five years, Barbara said.
Before leaving town, she said he withdrew approximately $18,000 from his trust fund, and gave his belongs away to friends.
“He left is belongings on his best friend's front porch with a note (about whom to distribute the items),” Barbara said.
She added that Miller's friends believe he may have been planning to commit suicide, and they noted that he has a history of depression.
