A desperate mother’s plea, a father’s mysterious journey, and a trail of unsettling clues—this is the case of Jared McColloch. In November 2023, Jared set out on a multi-state road trip to see his son in Illinois, but somewhere along the way, he vanished.

His abandoned truck, found with its doors open and his loyal dogs still inside, raised more questions than answers. A cryptic text, erratic movements, and a chilling final sighting paint a picture of a trip gone horribly wrong.

Was Jared running from something—or someone? And what really happened in the hours leading up to his disappearance? As the mystery deepens, one thing is certain: someone out there knows the truth. Could it be you?

We would like to give a special thank you to Tammie and Teri for speaking with us about Jared's case.
