The story is strange in that effect since the victim had a jeep, credit card and a debit card with money in it. So why did he not pay for the dope and booze? Appears to me to be an attempted robbery or robbery planned on the spur of the moment because they were all high or maybe they did not like hanging with a Christian kid who had parents, a home and some cash and could be considered to be better than them. Seems like the victim was trying to be one of the boys and he did not know what these boys were capable of, he was just a naïve, nice teen and he picked the wrong crowd, every parents nightmare. .
