Authorities are scrambling for answers after the body of a missing teenager was discovered inside an abandoned Tesla on the outskirts of town — with chilling marks on the body that investigators so far refuse to explain.
Law enforcement sources confirm the teen, whose identity is being withheld pending family notification, had been reported missing several days earlier. The vehicle was located in a wooded area after residents tipped off police about an idle car parked for days with its windows fogged.
Inside, officers made the grim discovery: the teen’s remains in the back seat, surrounded by what one investigator described as “anomalous markings not consistent with any known accident or self-inflicted injury.”
Officials declined to comment further on the nature of the marks, sparking public speculation and outrage on social media. Some residents fear foul play, while others point to the possibility of the Tesla’s advanced electrical systems being involved.
“This isn’t something we can categorize under routine causes,” a police source told The Journal. “The circumstances inside that vehicle are deeply unsettling, and until we have lab confirmation, we’re not ruling anything out.”
Forensic teams are conducting toxicology tests and analyzing the car’s onboard data logs. Investigators are also reviewing surveillance footage to trace the vehicle’s final movements before it was abandoned.
The chilling discovery has left the community shaken, as vigils for the teen begin and calls for transparency grow louder. For now, police maintain that releasing details about the unexplained marks could “compromise the integrity of the investigation.”
