One of the women was M\u00e9nard&#8217;s former girlfriend, who herself and her husband were potential suspects to the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Evidently M\u00e9nard&#8217;s ex-girlfriend reported misleading information about&nbsp;where M\u00e9nard went missing, after Laredo officials proved unaware of M\u00e9nard&#8217;s disappearance.<\/p>\n<div>\n<br \/> Hoping to find his son, his father, Robert M\u00e9nard, launched a website that traced his son&#8217;s journey and a Facebook page was created to share any new evidence that was found.<\/p>\n<p>On the Facebook page, a Mexican man claimed he was certain that he saw M\u00e9nard&#8217;s vehicle recently.
