So the investigators called Lyft to try and get information about whoever his last passenger was, because clearly it seemed as though he had been on a ride or been performing a ride, right?

She told the officers that her son wasn't there, but she also gave them permission to search the home. And although they didn't find Brayden there, they did find evidence of clothing with human blood on it. So they definitely knew that they were on the right track with their investigation.
