Jerry Krause, an American missionary pilot, vanished in April 2013 while flying over West Africa. He was a highly experienced pilot, known for his decades of humanitarian work, including delivering supplies and providing transport for missionaries and aid workers throughout Africa.

Initially, it was believed that his plane had crashed, but no wreckage was ever found. The mystery took a strange twist when a secret operative contacted his family, claiming that Jerry was still alive and being held hostage.

With puzzling clues that may or may not be credible, the question remains: What really happened to Jerry Krause?
