“That’s the only thing that’s really keeping us going right now is the hope he’s still out there and okay. Everything’s just a little odd how it is. It’s everything that we have heard so far is just not like him,” Scaletta said.

Miguel Blanco, one of Schmalbach’s best friends, told detectives after Schmalbach’s disappearance, his jeep disappeared then reappeared in the condo parking lot.

The vehicle, which was typically kept very clean, was covered in mud on the sides. Sand was discovered in the back of the vehicle. The hope now, is that Barry is found safe.
