That same man was spotted in the same intersection allegedly attempting to lure two other women into his vehicle, according to Quanell X.

Goodwin’s cellphone was later recovered on the side of the road, three blocks away from the scene she was taken from.

Quanell X said he believes the man may possibly be armed.

A police report was filed about the suspect before Goodwin’s disappearance, the release stated. However, Quanell X said he’s calling on the Houston Police Department to further investigate the case.

Family and friends of Goodwin were seen cruising in the area for the last several days during an attempt to find the missing woman, according to the release.

The Houston Police Department released the following statement about the case:

“The missing persons investigation is an open investigation. From surveillance video, it does show that the missing person willingly got into the vehicle seen on camera.”

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Sara Goodwin is urged to call Houston Police Department Missing Persons Unit at 713-394-1840.
