He phoned 911 twice starting at 3:14 pm. In the last call he mentioned the school's name "Seven Hills" & the Honda Odyssey van.

How large is the school campus and how many minivans could there be in the parking lot?

His family found him around 9 pm after they were contacted by a friend who he was supposed to meet that day.

Incredible and tragic.
