He admitted that he and his father leave the front door unlocked and open because they lost the key. He believes the Kia was leaving the area as he arrived home. He was very evasive about the situation and would not provide officers with any information about possible suspects or people who might have a problem with him. Officers cleared the house and found no one inside. The teen stated that he has been “cutting a lot of people off” which the officers took to mean he is distancing himself from some past friends. The father arrived while officers were clearing the house, and he checked inside but found no valuables were missing in the residence. It appears someone with knowledge of the residence may have gone in the house and made a mess in an attempt to find something. The juvenile was once again asked directly if he knew who did this, or if he knew anyone with a red Kia, and he provided no answer. The father and son have had family trouble in the past, and the father believes the son knows more than he is leading on. Officers advised the father to do an inventory in the residence to see if anything was taken, but at that time, he did not think anything was missing.
