On July 11th 2024, when his mother dropped him off at his cousin's residence around 10:30 AM she never thought it would be the last time she would see him. After spending approximately 20 minutes there, he departed on foot, leaving behind his phone and any form of money. There are reports that suggest John was trying to locate his wife whom may have been having an affair with another man. Since that day, there have been no sightings or reports of him, raising concerns among family and friends. The following day, July 12th, his wife sought refuge at a domestic violence shelter located in Searcy, Arkansas, where she remained for an additional 12 days at Compass Health, a local mental health facility. Upon her release, she was apprehended at her new boyfriend's home due to outstanding warrants. After moving in with her new partner, she displayed little to no concern for John's well-being, only acknowledging his absence 54 days after he went missing. Although she initially agreed to undergo a polygraph test, she ultimately chose to forgo it, further complicating the investigation. Her lack of cooperation with law enforcement has raised eyebrows, especially as she has only reached out to the minor children in the family while deliberately avoiding communication with adult relatives. This behavior has led to increased scrutiny regarding her involvement in John's disappearance. Search dogs were deployed to track John's scent, which led investigators to her new boyfriend's residence; however, the trail went cold at that point. At the time he vanished, John was dressed in a light blue t-shirt, khaki cargo shorts, and Hey Dude shoes, a casual outfit that painted a picture of an ordinary day. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain shrouded in mystery, leaving family and friends desperate for answers and hoping for his safe return. Tonight we are joined by his sister Jamie and family advocate Christy.
