He said he wore the ring but took it off and stored it in the car’s console.
Kostelnik said he made only one stop en route at a BP gas station in Greensburg, Indiana. When he was in Miami and discovered that the ring was no longer in the console, the family returned to the gas station to search for it and report it missing to police. It is possible that the ring ended up on the floor of the car and was kicked outside the vehicle, he said.
“All I can do now is sit back and wait,” Kostelnik said. ‘Maybe another idea will come up, and I’ll follow all the activities. At the moment, I’m just waiting. ‘
