The Riveras said they didn't know who Connor was, he probably wasn't a close friend.

Connor Oswald was on Rich's friend list as soon as Rich joined the social media platform which was in 2004.

Connor Oswald is most likely the Connor that Rich was messaging.
Connor Oswald is in Los Angeles, the other one is in San Diego...
I need to find out who Connor Oswald really is.
Rich's parents didn't know about him and Rich only messaged him a couple of times on his old phone.
If Connor Oswald has a landline, I can locate him.
Sure enough, he does. He lives on the outskirts of Los Angeles. The shortest path to him is through Chinatown.
Before talking to him, I need to know who the guy is.
I'll stake out his house.
*Drive to Connor Oswald's house*
I'll stay about 5 houses away during the surveillance.
Spy on Connor
- 🔍How many people live at Connor's house?
- 🔍What is Connor's daily schedule?
- 🔍Describe Connor's house.
- 🔍What are Connor's neighbors like?
- 🔍Where does Connor go during the day?
12
It's very likely only he lives here, there is only one vehicle and no one entered or exited other than him for over a day.
13
From what I can tell he has no real schedule, he has come and gone at different times each day. He never does the same thing.
14
Connor's house isn't large. His house does look quite nice though, but his lawn isn't taken care of. Also, this area of the neighborhood isn't busy at all. I wonder if he has seen my spying on him... hopefully not.
15
Connor's neighbors all have standard jobs and leave at around 7:00 to 8:00 AM. His neighbors also don't talk to him at all and aren't very social in general. It seems like this neighborhood is very quiet.
16
He only went to a few places, which were all typical places... Connor went to the grocery store, he went to eat breakfast at a cafe, and he went to a gas station once. Nothing strange here.
17
I'm not sure I trust Connor entirely...
I will use a tricky fake name, and maybe catch him off-guard.
*Knock on Connor's front door*
Jonathan: Hi, I'm Kevin Rivera. I was told you knew Rich.
Connor: Uh, what?? Rich, I guess, it's been so long, dude.
Jonathan: I'm just looking for my nephew. Can I ask you a couple questions?
Connor: I'm busy. I've got work soon, I can talk for a minute.
Jonathan: Thank you. So, can you tell me anything about the day he went missing?
Connor: Jeez, I haven't talked to him in so long. I don't even remember the last time, man.
Jonathan: Oh, I was told you were best friends with Rich...
Connor: What? Who's telling you this stuff? I barely knew the guy.
Jonathan: That's so sad... The police must have it all wrong. Sorry for wasting your time, Connor.
Connor: Yeah, sorry. I got to go.
*The door shuts... walk back to your car*
Connor was quite nervous...
Suspicious... that's all I can say.
Another mystery added to this tangled web...
