“We believe it is a 2001 to 2005 Chevy Venture or Oldsmobile Silhouette mini-van,” Akers told KMOX News. “We do not have a color of the vehicle at this time.” Lieutenant Mike Akers with St. Charles police was quoted as saying.
The reports said that Mulala was a resident of Andian, Michigan who was in Missouri working with the St.Louis Job corps.
