Jonathan Paul Estes, 35, of Bogue Chitto, Mississippi, was last seen on June 2, 2018 after a reported domestic incident with his estranged wife, Cynthia, on May 31, 2018. Police tried to question him about the allegation of assault but he was gone by the time they arrived. His truck was later found abandoned near his former home and no sign of him has been found since.

Local authorities were initially reluctant to file a missing persons report because of the outstanding domestic charges; Jonathan’s sister filed a report in September 2018. A grand jury declined to indict in October 2018, citing insufficient evidence. Cynthia’s divorce from Jonathan was finalized in January 2019. Family members say he was deeply involved with his children and had been paying child support up to the disappearance, and they doubt he would voluntarily abandon them.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation are listed as working the case and have not confirmed foul play. Does anyone in the Bogue Chitto area remember seeing Jonathan or his truck around early June 2018?
