Hodo's disappearance came two weeks after Detroit Police arrested a man seen twice on camera shooting up a home on the city's west side.
The home had adults and children inside and investigators say the suspect used Hodo's gun to commit the crime. He was also driving Hodo's black 2007 Lexus which is still missing.

According to a neighbor, the suspect and Hodo weren't pals. In fact, they'd gotten into some sort of dispute which is only adding to the questions and concerns surrounding Hodo's disappearance.
On July 14, police recovered a body in Stoepel Park.
