Yo no soy fluido en español, pero if I’m understanding you correctly, you’re saying that you think that Kearney’s VW may have actually been Johnnie’s? Meaning that Kearney, after killing Johnnie and disposing of his body, simply took the car and kept it? I suppose it’s possible, but I can’t imagine how Kearney would have crossed paths with Johnnie in the middle-class suburb where he vanished. The party location and his home were literally only a few minutes apart.
Of course, that’s assuming that when Johnnie left the party, he was headed straight for home. That’s why it’s so important to find out (if possible) where specifically he went after the party. I wonder if he mentioned to anyone else if he was planning to make another stop before going home.
Regardless of what actually happened,I don’t think Johnnie was alive long after he left that party. Since he was attending an event only minutes from his home, it seems reasonable to assume that the only things he probably had with him were his car, keys, license, whatever money he had at the time, and the clothes on his back. If he was going to run off and start a new life, he would most certainly have been better prepared. Not to mention that the idea of voluntarily disappearing after attending a friend’s nearby party on a Friday night seems a weird way to do it. While there are people who meticulously plan how to disappear months before actually doing so, I don’t see a 20-year-old (which is legal age but still more or less “a kid” so to speak) being able to pull it off and never be seen again for almost five decades.
