After that, Jack vanished. When his younger brother arrived home later, Jack was gone and never to be seen again. Within a week or so the home Jack had once shared with his Marine father and his little brother had his belongings tossed out, any picture hanging on a wall or anywhere else in the home was taken down, most likely destroyed, and Jack's name was not to be said in the household. Jack's maternal aunt Dawna believes and has made allegations that Jack was gay and his father had killed him for it.
