Newly released information from the Victoria Police Department confirms a suspected connection between Amanda Stevenson’s disappearance and a traffic stop on Wednesday that resulted in a man fatally shooting himself.
On Monday afternoon, Department of Public Safety Sgt. Ruben San Miguel confirmed the identity of the deceased man as Kevin Bennetsen, 45, of Victoria.
Also on Monday afternoon, VPD provided a synopsis of the events related to Stevenson’s disappearance and the ongoing investigation.
On Nov. 21, Stevenson, who turned 20 on Friday, was reported missing. Since then, search parties organized by the family have taken place between Yoakum and Victoria, areas the family believe she may have been before disappearing.
In Monday’s news release, VPD said it was determined Stevenson knew a man — who has now been identified as Bennetsen — who would provide transportation in the area and was known to work for a ride-share service.
Detectives initially interviewed Bennetsen, and later, pulled the him over at a traffic stop in an attempt to re-interview him on Wednesday.
