Did anyone else notice the strange circumstances surrounding where Arnold's car was found? Okeechobee Road is quite a distance from his home in Miami and not exactly a place where you would just stop and leave your car without a good reason. I've driven that stretch a few times, and it can feel pretty isolated in parts. It makes me wonder if maybe Joe had a reason to be there that someone else knew about, or if he was trying to get somewhere specific. It's perplexing, especially considering the note he left. Any thoughts on why his car would be abandoned there of all places?
Hey everyone,
Has anyone come across any details about Arnold's blue 1987 Acura Integra? It's baffling to me how the car was found on Okeechobee Road but there's no word on if anyone saw someone ditch it or maybe gave a ride to whoever was driving. It makes me wonder if there was any surveillance footage from the businesses along that stretch back in '89, even if unlikely. If only we could find witnesses who might have noticed something odd. Any insights or theories about why it ended up there or the timeframe of when it was abandoned? I'm hoping more info about the car helps us piece together some of the missing parts of Joe's case.
Hey everyone,
I've been going down the rabbit hole on Arnold "Joe" Epel Jr.'s case and had a thought that might be worth discussing. So, I noticed his Acura Integra was found on Okeechobee Road, pretty far from his home in Miami. What's puzzling to me is why choose that exact location to leave the car? Okeechobee Road is a pretty major route. It’s not exactly a place you'd go to be unnoticed. Does anyone have insights on any specific significance of that area back in 1989? I'm just trying to understand if there’s a possible overlooked connection there or if it was just coincidental. Any Florida locals or anyone familiar with the area have thoughts?
Really hoping we can find something that might help move this case forward.
