Maybe this has been mentioned, but what about gas stations? I’m not familiar with your area. How far could they get on one tank of gas? If they made it to Carrollton perhaps they got lost there or on the way back. Then again, maybe the driver took the wrong road and went in the opposite direction of home?
Have you talked to salespeople at the outlet mall? Do you know which stores they liked to shop? Restaurants nearby? ATMs? Any other places in town or on the way back where they might stop?
Good luck to you.
okay, I see it was the Penny’s outlet. If they didn’t find what they were looking for in Carrollton, maybe they went on to Columbus?
