May 20, 2016.
63 degrees under mostly clear skies in Tumwater, Washington, just south of the state Capitol.
Olympia, around 03:00 p.m.
that Friday, traffic on interstate five was zipping along at 70 miles an hour.
That's when something alarming came into focus.
A black convertible top up was definitely not following the rules of the road.
And it started rolling.
It actually rolled across three lanes of freeway.
The 1996 Chrysler Sebring was drifting diagonally from the far right southbound lane toward the median.
Other cars had to speed up or swerve to avoid hitting it.
Then after a few dangerous seconds, the.
Sebring stopped, finally impacted on the center barrier, and that in itself was sort of unusual.
That's Mike ware.
He wishes he'd been at the scene that day because he has strong opinions about what happened and not just because of the 39 years he spent in the local sheriff's office or because of what police were about to find in the Sebringe.
Mike has a lot to say, because what happened on the highway that day was something much more personal to him.
It was the beginning of a mystery that shattered his own family.
The convertible disrupting traffic on the freeway belonged to Mike's 19 year old nephew, Logan Schindelman.
Only Logan wasn't in the cardinal.
No one was.
And Logan has now been missing for more than seven years.
