The next day, on Friday, Jan. 25 police in Delaware reported finding Odu’s gray Hyundai Tuscon near the Reedy Point Bridge of the Fort DuPont State Park in Delaware City, Del. Investigators have not located Odu. The last time the family had has heard from him was a phone call at about 1:10 pm on Jan. 24, stating that he’d had car trouble.
