调查员: 我知道你经常在晚上或清晨寻找补给，包括去米尼玛尔斯普林斯商店查看垃圾箱。我认为你用石头打破了伊恩车辆的后窗，并进入了营地。我相信你当时认为车里没人，但实际上伊恩就在车里睡觉，打破窗户吓了他一跳。 Jorge Alcantara Gonzalez: 我的车没油没食物，偶然发现了伊恩的车，钥匙就在点火器里，里面有钱包、冷藏箱和猎枪，所以我拿走了它。我从来没见过任何人。我回去拿了电池，然后启动了它，并把车开到路的尽头藏起来。星期天早上，我决定把 FJ 开走，把我的电池留在我的车里。我只是找到了它，觉得这是真的吗？

Ian Eckles was last seen on May 16, 2020, as he left his home for a hunting trip in the mountains of Washington. He never met up with his friend as planned, and after days of no contact, a massive search began. The effort intensified when Ian’s vehicle was spotted being driven by another man.

By June 14, 2020, Ian was still missing. However, authorities apprehended the man believed to be responsible for his disappearance and murder. That man, Jorge Alcantara-Gonzalez, is also suspected in connection with at least two other deaths.

So, who is Alcantara-Gonzalez, and what happened to Ian?

After his arrest, Alcantara was taken directly into an interview with investigators. In Part 3 of this series, we share segments of that interview. Tune in to hear what Alcantara says happened, and how it compares to what investigators believe occurred the night Ian vanished.
