In 1993, a mother and daughter returned home to find their husband and father, David Glenn Lewis, missing. Hours later, a deceased hit-and-run victim was found thousands of miles away. It would take 11 years before the victim would be identified as David Glenn Lewis. How did he get there?

He had to be involved in something unknown to his family. Criminal conspiracy, coerced into something, shadowy government agency or all of the above.

The Firm?

Probably mob related.

I am not trying to speak ill of the dead (without any proof) but he may have been into some dark, deviant shit and while his family was out of town it caught up with him.

Again, I have absolutely no knowledge of this case, beyond the link, just my gut feeling.

Yeah, the fact that they basically just closed the case and never followed up is somewhat telling...

Yeah, I don’t think they liked him prepping to be “open”.

He almost had to be flying around those last few days on some private or unlisted plane.

The fact that he was found dead in boots and camo BDUs, clothes that nobody had ever seen him in, a 24 hour drive from home, 16 hours after he was known to be there is...perplexing.

A lot of weird shit went on in 90s. Makes you wonder what was really going on.  Did he get involved in something that he shouldn't have or was he trying to do the right thing

When I think weird stories, what about that one where the bad guys put a makeshift IED on a pizza delivery man and made him rob a bank? Did those guys get caught? The story was wild enough I'm sure someone will remember more details. It was weird enough that I wonder if the pizza guy didn't go along with it to create a super strong alibi.

That one is pretty much solved. There’s a great documentary on Netflix about it.

How difficult would it really have been to fly commercially under a different name/identity in 1993?

Non ticket holders could still walk people to the gate back then.

Despite the provided "details", we know zero about this man. Could have been a mental break.

Leaving his wedding ring and watch in the house
leaving his car and house keys under a floor matt in his car outside the courthouse along with his driver's license, credit cards and check book
buying plane tickets for the weekend his family is out of town
Reported to be walking in traffic before being run over

Sounds like a mental health issue and suicide. Leaving his vehicle and personal belongings where they could be easily found sounds like suicide. Kidnappers wouldn't drive his car to the courthouse and he wasn't going to the courthouse and going inside on super bowl weekend unless he worked there as a judge or law clerk.

And I bet he'd been "missing" for much longer than his family reported.

This shit happens often.  People just take off.  He happened to get killed.

I dont see any mysterious shit here at all.

Really?

A successful attorney shows up dead on the road 1600 miles away in army fatigues and no personal effects, with no explanation doesn't seem just a little mysterious?

Yes, really. People do weird stupid shit every minute. This is not the first case of a  seemingly normal person just disappearing.

What’s the mystery?  He got a plane, took off to hide from whatever his problems were and was killed in an accident. BFD.

I tend to discount the contradictory tickets.  Dallas to Amarillo and LA to Dallas with a layover in Amarillo.  There were over 6000 adults living in TX alone named David Lewis.  I don't think LA is involved at all.

My understanding is that the tickets were purchased on his credit card.

That dude just had a mental breakdown and chose to disappear.

Murdered by CIA lizard people because he double crossed the Mob while delivering money for the Mossad in a child sex ring case is a funtasticker theory though.

Until proven otherwise, all suspicious deaths are immediately pinned on the Clintons.

I am guessing undiagnosed  schizophrenia .  He was busy with the family and work. That helped keep him in check.   He was left alone and the mental condition manifiested itself.

People living with schizophrenia are at higher risk of disruptive behaviors, including violence, running away from home, and suicide attempts, which often co-occur and are highly correlated,

Dude heard about Mr Hand and went to WA for the horsemeat, afterwards he couldn't walk straight and got hit
