Drummond was last seen on October 23 when he stopped by his mother’s house. He left there, but never made it home.
Police in Columbus, Ohio have confirmed the VIN number on the burning SUV matches that of the truck that Drummond was driving.
Police have suggested that the individual that was found inside the vehicle that they did not die due to the fire.
Beckman does say it’s a homicide and that the person found inside the burning vehicle did not die of the fire.
“It contains some very unique factors that are being explored basically feverishly right now, as we speak,” says Beckman.
Friends and family of Drummond gathered in Columbus a week ago Sunday for a prayer vigil.
