I searched and didn't see a thread on this one yet. I originally saw it last week on my feed on facebook and was shocked.
Apparently a 73 year old man, Tommy Alley, has been missing since the 21st of February. The police, until yesterday were saying that they did not believe the man to be endangered, so they were not looking for him. Four days (Feb 17) before he went missing a couple were seen in a local Home Depot shoplifting. When the employees tried to detain them, one of the two shoplifters pulled a box cutter and lunged at the employee and the couple escaped driving Mr. Alley's truck. Yesterday, the couple was found in GA and arrested after a high speed chase where one of the couple jumped out of the moving vehicle and the other shot at police.
So far, the only thing that I have been able to find out is that the police are now treating it like a possible abduction and that the missing man knew the couple, the woman had been to his house before. The missing man is not suspected as being part of the robbery at the Home Depot, but he did not go missing until the 21st of February.
Here are the two articles:

and

I will come back in a bit and post the criminal records of these two people. Just trying to get his information out there, since the couple had left the state. He could be anywhere at this point. One of them just had drug charges and driving charges. The other, if his middle initial is "M" had several shoplifting charges, but also had a charge for abduction from 2002.
ETA: I forgot to mention that the missing man's cell phone was found in Hampton yesterday and someone called his son's house that he shares with the man to return it.
