Taylor Clark was a 19-year-old college student from St. Jacob, Illinois, who was killed after responding to a Craigslist ad to sell his red 2007 Nissan 350ZX. On May 4, 2015, after finishing final exams at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Clark met an interested buyer at the M.T.C. Truck Center in Hazelwood, Missouri. Instead of a legitimate sale, the meeting was a ruse: Michael Gordon, a 24-year-old employee of the truck driving school, shot Clark once in the business parking lot, then moved and buried the body about 400 yards away in nearby woods.

Investigators traced email exchanges tied to the car listing and discovered surveillance footage of Gordon buying bleach and a shovel. A search of the school grounds on May 5 uncovered the hidden vehicle and Clark’s remains; Gordon was arrested on May 7 after investigators linked the murder weapon and other evidence to him. Prosecutors also presented evidence Gordon researched altering vehicle identification numbers.

Has anyone who knew Taylor or who worked at the truck center seen him or the car around that time, or has information about the transaction?
