Missing Freshman's Car Found

Taylor Behl, 17, Vanished 2 Weeks Ago; Was On Provocative Web Site

(CBS)  Though he's not a suspect in the case, the man was one of the last people to see Taylor the night she disappeared.

"They had been talking for a while online," Cino says, "and it's possible she considered him a confidant of sorts. She couldn't have known too many people around here at that point."

Taylor left her dorm room and vanished after taking only her cell phone, student ID, a little cash, and the keys to her car, police say. That car was spotted over the weekend by an off-duty officer.

"It's a very big piece in the puzzle," Richmond Police Chief Raymond Monroe says, "and, hopefully, once we have an opportunity to search the vehicle further, it can give us more information."

An 11-member task force is working on the case. Search dogs were taken house to house to track the scent authorities hope will lead detectives to Taylor.

"In order to go on," Matt Behl says, "I have to hope that Taylor is out there somewhere."

For now, haunting and poignant messages posted on Behl's Web site remain unanswered.

"Everything is OK. Just come home," Pelasara implores.
