After seeing the third episode of Netflix’s new true crime series Missing: Dead or Alive?, you might be curious about what became to David Taylor, the 59-year-old South Carolina lottery winner who vanished after winning $10,000.
David informed his spouse that he was en route to exchange his lotto ticket. But after leaving her an odd message containing nothing but an enigmatic rustling sound, he was never heard from again. Following his family’s missing report, David’s white pickup truck was discovered abandoned on the side of the road. Authorities then learned that a woman had called 911 to report seeing a man cross six lanes of traffic on foot as he moved away from a white truck parked in the grass next to the highway.
The fact that David Taylor’s wallet and keys were discovered inside his truck added to the bizarreness of the entire situation. It was doubtful that he had been robbed because all of the power equipment he needed for the task at hand was still in the truck bed. However, investigators discovered that David’s cell phone and lottery ticket were missing and that his lottery ticket had never been paid.
David Taylor’s situation appeared to be completely enigmatic. However, when they discovered that there had been drug activity in the area across from where David’s truck was parked, investigators received a significant lead in the case. Cathy Taylor, the missing man’s wife, maintained that her husband had never taken drugs. He was frequently attempting to persuade their kids to check themselves into rehab for their drug addictions, she said.
