His new yellow Dodge Ram pickup truck was found burned on June 21 Bear Creek Parkabout 20 kilometers away, West U PD confirmed Friday.
On Monday Press conferenceWUPD Chief Ken Walker said a surveillance camera recorded the truck leaving the neighborhood at 4:21 a.m.
Hours later, Houston police found the badly burned truck, traced the VIN to Detamore and notified West University police.
Walker said a witness came forward and said they saw a man walking away from the burning vehicle.
Since then, WUPD, HPD Harris County Constable Precincts 1 and 5 and Texas Equusearch volunteers had been searching for Detamore.
“It’s one of our residents who went missing and we take these things seriously,” Walker said.
The chief previously said they have “absolutely no information” of foul play in the case, but the investigation continues.
“We have information that indicates it may have been pre-planned with no crime involved, but it’s too early to come to that conclusion,” Walker said.
It was not uncommon for Detamore to leave for work early in the morning, according to Walker, and they have found no history of domestic problems.
“Unfortunately, in high-profile cases, social media takes over and a lot of misinformation is spread, as well as people claiming to have knowledge of the missing person or the missing person investigation,” Walker said.

It’s not the first time Detamore has been in the news. In 2014, KHOU 11 interviewed him after burglars were caught on camera inside the family’s home. They were living in Oak Forest at the time, but were staying elsewhere while the renovations took place.
