Ran across this case randomly while looking at the missing person's map and thought it was interesting.
Angell was employed as a long-haul truck driver for Cool-X Transport in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 2000. He hauled meat from Canada into the United States, and produce from the U.S. into Canada. In September 2000, he took a load of bananas from Calgary to Los Angeles, California. He was supposed to return to Calgary with another load, but never arrived.
Angell stopped at Whiskey Pete's bar and casino in Primm, Nevada on September 22, 2000 while en route to deliver a shipment to Canada. Angell has never been heard from again. His truck was discovered abandoned in the establishment's parking lot shortly after he was last seen. The vehicle's cargo was intact and the refrigerator was out of fuel. Angell's wallet was located inside the truck, but there were no other signs of him at the scene.
There's also an article from a few years ago from the Calgary Herald (no longer available online) that goes into a bit more detail.
Angell had been becoming increasingly tired of the trucker life and was planning to quit his job. He and his wife were in the process of selling their home and had leased an apartment in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada planning to live a simpler life where he could spend more time with his family. Still, Angell was dealing with self-doubt and didn't know what he wanted to do with his life, he was also seeing a psychologist and had begun saying things like "I think I need a bodyguard".
On September 22nd, Trevor had finished dropping off a shipment in Los Angeles and was returning to Alberta to drop off another. He called his wife and told her he hadn't slept in 4 days. Though she urged him to rest, he said he was going to power through the delivery, after which he was set to retire from being a trucker.
He stopped in Primm, Nevada that day, a common stop he would make on the route from Los Angeles to Alberta, and ventured into Whisky Pete's casino, presumably to drink and gamble which he enjoyed doing avidly. From September 22nd to 4AM on September 23rd, 9 withdrawals were made from his account which represented his entire paycheck.
His last known sighting was at the Casino's cafe at 10AM on September 23rd, where a waitress served him oatmeal which he paid using pocket change. Patrons saw him lying in the parking lot shortly after, apparently looking sick, disoriented, holding his stomach and asking for help. His truck was found in the parking lot, his load intact and his wallet lying nearby.
