Earl Anthony Jay Joggerst was 15 when he disappeared from his home in Arnold, Missouri, on August 4, 1972. He was described as a white male with brown, wavy, shoulder-length hair, blue eyes, standing between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 9 inches and weighing about 140 pounds. A distinctive hypo-pigmented, triangular mark on his chest that looked like an arrowhead was noted in his description.

On the day he was last seen he reportedly left with a high school friend, Geraldine Hearst, and an unidentified roughly 30-year-old man. The three were seen in a red convertible headed west; Geraldine was later located alive in California but there was no sign of Jay. The identity of the older man has never been publicly released, and it is unclear what information Geraldine provided about the trip.

Investigators, including the Missouri State Highway Patrol, handled the case and at one point treated Jay as an endangered runaway. In 2018 his case was reviewed in connection with unidentified victims of John Wayne Gacy but he was ruled out as a DNA match. Does anyone have memories of that red convertible, the trip west, or other details that could help locate Jay?
