The Ogden family believe the pair are driving around the Houston area in a gray Nissan Altima SL that belongs to Jeremy’s sister.
According to Ogden, the car has paper tags and a cheetah print license plate cover.

Jeremy’s mother said he has a phone that only workes on Wi-Fi, but she hasn’t received any pings that would find the teens’ location. The phone seems to be out of power.
