GPD is also asking for information from anyone who may have seen a suspicious vehicle that looks like a blue Chevy Blazer in remote areas on the night of Thursday, September 20.
It’s been more than a week since the disappearance of University of Florida student Christian Aguilar. As the search continues, his family remains hopeful. Family members and law enforcement officials are still asking for support as the search area changes.
