As others have noted, an enhanced version shows the back door close as the blogger approaches. You can see a sun hat in the front seat and a sandal on the ground near the (now closed) back door of the van.

Sad story. Amazing what percentage of things are captured on video.

The media has the platform. If they wanted to cover more missing colored people, they could.

There was a time when "colored person" was the norm and there was never a discussion over it. Now its considered racist, yet "person of color" is appropriate.
Go figure.

Hey, Einstein, tell us what the difference is between the antiquated expression "colored people" and it's modern replacement "people of color"?

Go figure.

Liberals are always changing the meaning of words or taking common words and deciding they are now hate speech or demeaning. The transgender crap confuses me. A dude who wore dresses who still had his parts used to be called a drag queen. Now is that called a transgender female? It is my understanding transgender is just dressing and acting the other sex without getting parts chopped off or added. If they are altered medically they become transsexual, is that correct?
