Stealing a car, stealing gas, leading cops on a high speed chase, by posting standards here, is this kid a thug or a misunderstood teen?
Could be his family’s from Chicago or Detroit, you never know.

I think he was headed out to join the MORMON church. I doubt this upstanding Newman student will become a Priest :(

Iowa allows teens at the age of 14 to get a permit to drive either to work or to school only. Which Garret did have.

Someone should check his Facebook page for clues to a secret lover (boyfriend/girlfriend).

Yeah, Facebook, that’s the answer to everything. Just a social gossip forum in my opinion.

Something tells me that has probably already been done. You know how some people are with their facebook addiction.

Could be a punk on the run, but very unlikely. Things can happen that can change a person’s life in a second. This kid does have a history of being a great kid. Popular in school, role model, nice to others, from a great family, and I could go on and on. Please don’t judge until all facts are known and even then remember God has said it is not our place to judge or you too will be judged.
SO SAD

It might be more possible that he ran away to join the circus.
