ORIGINAL POST:Dallas police said they couldn’t comment on any new evidence that led them to reclassify Alan White’s disappearance to ‘endangered missing person.’
About a week ago, a new video emerged of White pulling gas in his car at the RaceTrak gas station on Inwood Road at Maple Avenue. In it, he is wearing a red tank top rather than the gray tank he was wearing about 15 minutes earlier when he left LA Fitness, but his family confirmed that was him.
From the gas station, he drove north toward his home rather than south toward Oak Cliff where the car was found.

On October 22, 2020, the Dallas Police Department Youth Operations received a Missing Person report regarding James Alan White. The report was originally documented as a “Want To Locate” on case number 188623-2020. Due to recent developments in the investigation, the report has been changed from a “Want to Locate” to an “Endangered Missing” person.
The Youth Operations Unit is in charge of the investigation. Detectives are actively investigating all workable leads into the report of Mr. White. Detectives are also actively communicating with Mr. White’s family. If anyone has any additional information regarding Mr. White, we ask that they contact the Dallas Police Department Youth Operations at 214-671-4268 or by email at missingpersons@dpd.dallascityhall.com.

This story keep getting more and more odd. Seems highly unlikely there is no other video footage from oaklawn to south dallas (where his car was found.)
And his boyfriend is eerily quiet and not available to the press.
Very interesting.
His HUSBAND is following the advice of law enforcement and not commenting.
I just wonder, did they try to get any prints of the car when they found it? Or was it wiped clean? And where ever the car was found , is there no cameras in sight from anywhere?
Allegedly. No one has seen his HUSBAND in public or captured on camera by the local media.
Rumor has it he has left the city.
Sus..picious
Ben.
You are misinformed. Now. S T F U.
You have no knowledge of this crime.
TRB–what do you mean by Ben as no knowledge of this crime? is there something you know that you are not revealing.
This entire situation is very strange. I hope the family finds some peace and the mystery is solved. While I’m not blaming the husband, his interview on the news with Alan’s mother, seemed off to me. I’ve read more comments that agree with me on this on other social media sites than the few that to his defense.
There has to be more video, info about finding the car, phone records since one video has him checking his phone, and possibly credit or debit card info. I hope they checked the husband out as well. Something is definitely off with the guy. And no, I won’t STFU, I’ll speak my mind.
This family has been through hell. His husband is not commenting at the advice of police. He is not a suspect. He has not left town either. Ben I suggest you not comment about things you have no knowledge about.
