Authorities believe Jones got in a car accident while on his way to work on June 23. They found tire tracks leading off the road to the Colorado River along Jones's work route, and when the floodwaters receded, the license plate for Jones's car was located. A search of the river turned up the car itself, a red four-door 1993 Chevrolet Lumina.
