They spoke with \u201cunhoused individuals\u201d who \u201cregularly spend time in the area,\u201d which led them to search near the James Robertson Parkway, the PI group said.<\/p>\n

Anderson was found in a \u201cheavily wooded and difficult to access area\u201d just before 6 p.m. Thursday, less than five hours after members of the firm met with his family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI met these guys, and I asked him if they would show me their neighborhood, and he said yes,\u201d Anderson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey took 20 bucks from me, and then he walked out, and then he walked out to his group of friends, and then I can\u2019t remember if he demanded or ended up getting another 20 bucks from me.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then him and his friends acted like nothing happened. Then they threatened me with violence. They threatened to run me over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson lost his train of thought while recalling the conversation about a neighborhood tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to remember precisely what happened,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to be honest with you. What this sounds like to me and this is just my speculation OK and I want you to be honest with me, \u2018Were you trying to buy drugs?\u201d a cop quizzed.<\/p>\n
