On Thursday night, police notified them that their stolen Hyundai Santefe SUV had been found.

“So it’s back in a surprisingly okay condition. It’s drivable and the vehicle makes a slight noise,” Freddie said.

The couple planned to spend only one night in St. Louis, but stayed for seven days. Since Monday, they have been checking reported sightings of discos at O’Fallon Park and Fox Park.

Owners of several buildings near the theft site provided surveillance camera videos of the suspect who stole the SUV. In this video, three people are walking down the sidewalk towards the car, and one is wearing a surgical mask. In the video, you can see the metrobus obscuring the SUV’s view, and when it’s pulled away, the vehicle and the three suspects are gone.

The video may help police identify the suspect, but Freddie and Marcos are more hoping that rewards will be the key to regaining the disco.

“We want the person who owns him to motivate him to bring him to us, rather than trying to sell him to strangers on the street,” Marcos said. rice field.

Marcos and Freddie said they were grateful for the help and support they provided. This includes donations from groups of lost dogs for rewards and places where they can stay freely while looking for them.
