For the past two years, they had thought, and even hoped that he had just left town, "I just kept pretending like he just left Erie, so I just kept focusing on that, that he left here, that's what I kept saying," said Carol Rogers, Rogers' mother.

"I didn't expect him to be anywhere in this vicinity," said Rogers' neighbor, Cornell Nixon. "I just thought when I heard about him missing, I was like 'wow D-Q's gone, where did he go? He seems like he could protect himself," Nixon continued.

His final few Facebook posts suggest he was unhappy about something, with one posted on October 31st 2014 reading: 'I have been having the worst luck lately'. The next day was the last day he was seen alive.

The investigation is ongoing, but investigators say at this point, there are no signs of foul play.
