According to local media outlet 352today:

Investigators say he may be traveling with four unknown males, possibly Hispanic, in a light-colored van. Local reporting adds he may have been wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat at the time of disappearance.

Another local outlet, WCJB, cited a Facebook post from Speight’s family that included a message from Caden: “I need help. Four Hispanics in a white van, one driver. I’m shot.”

The question becomes whether this is a cartel-style abduction… Remember, certain cartels have been designated foreign terrorist organizations.
