The Motel Manager
Did he run the gas station and the motel? They showed him in a few scenes in the film and they never showed him again. Did he leave to go out of town?

shareI wonder if he and some of the other townspeople were in on it too.
shareI think some of them (including the Motel manager) were indeed aware.
shareHe was in several scenes, but then when Dan Challis goes to call the police after he and Ellie's factory visit, the motel office is deserted with just the TV on. He was no where to be found. What do you think happened to him? Do you think he was killed? In fact, he was never seen again after we see that the motel office phone has been bugged. Maybe he was killed because Cochran thought he let things 'slip'?
shareWhy over think a movie like this. Lets just call it a plot hole and move on
