Update 11:40 a.m., Sunday

A family friend of Corey Cann said the missing 21-year old was kidnapped.

Beth Kolar, who is in charge of the Find Corey Cann Facebook page, said that someone reportedly saw Cann in his wheelchair in the bed of a large, light-tan pick-up truck leaving the house and headed towards Route 34.

Cann had been at home with his brother, said Kolar, and said he was expecting friends. She said the family dog became agitated when the friends, of whom the family reportedly did not know, and the brother left the room. 

When he returned Corey Cann was gone. 

"Corey is typically loud," said Kolar. "He'll yell that he's leaving when he heads out the door and greets everyone loudly. It's not like him to leave quietly like that."

The Plano Police Department has not confirmed any reports of a kidnapping. Patch has not been able to reach the Plano Police Department since the previous update this  morning.
