Schneider’s body was discovered inside a car aligning with the description of the silver Toyota 4Runner family members said he had borrowed from a friend for a night out at adult entertainment club Rumors, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.

"Preliminary investigation suggests the vehicle traveled westbound across Brown Road, through overgrowth and into a tree at the rear of the property," police said, according to the press release.

When speaking with Fox 5 Atlanta, Porter noted that they "did find the vehicle deep in the woodlice, which indicates there was a fast speed approaching the intersection."

"We were searching more toward around that content house he was last seen at. We never got to come this way because it was blocked off by construction," family friend Bell explained.

The family friends were led to the area by Schneider’s cellphone location data.
