Polk Sheriff's Office missing Lexus in Ethan Fussell murder case

Less than a day after releasing a key piece of evidence sought in Ethan Fussell's disappearance, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said Thursday it has the Lexus that investigators say was used to remove the victim's body in a carpet.

“The silver 2000 Lexus driven by Talon Page was returned to one of our district substations,” the sheriff's office said in a brief email Thursday. “We will be processing the vehicle for evidence. We are still searching for the body of Ethan Fussell.”

Wednesday at the Sheriff's Operations Center in Winter Haven, Sheriff Grady Judd asked the public to come forward with information to help his detectives find Page's Lexus that was last seen on Interstate 4 near Lakeland on May 13.
