Wilbur Pate, 56, was last seen after finishing a Walmart shift in Owensboro, Kentucky, on the evening of November 14, 2012. He drove his usual route back to his residence in Evansville, Indiana, and was seen at the Charmwood Court home around 11:00 p.m. that night. His roommate says Pate gathered his belongings and left in a blue 2004 Ford Escape; that is the last confirmed sighting. Family reported him missing a week later.

Pate was due to fly out of Owensboro on November 16 for a job interview in Richmond, Virginia, but never boarded. On December 19 some of his personal effects were found in Dawson Springs, Kentucky, including the unused airline ticket. Four days later his Ford Escape was recovered at Farmer’s Corner Market in Yelvington, Kentucky, about 100 miles from where the other items were found; the vehicle reportedly contained no personal items. The case is listed as Endangered Missing, and the Owensboro Police Department involved the FBI to process the vehicle.

What details might help connect the locations where his belongings and his car were found to his last known movements?
