Willie James Jackson, Jr., 32, of Statesboro, Georgia, vanished after leaving the home he shared with his girlfriend and their young daughter. Known to family as Jamie and Willie Monk, he reportedly walked away from the residence and has not been seen or heard from since. His mother Wanda Jackson says it was highly uncharacteristic for him to leave without contacting family, especially given his close bond with the baby.

The mother last saw Willie with a group of friends at a middle school football game at the old Julia P. Bryant Elementary School football field. Family and investigators report that people who were with him that day have been unwilling to provide information, a situation that has frustrated the family and investigators who believe someone holds critical knowledge but is afraid to speak.

At the time he disappeared Willie was described as a Black male, 6 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 5 inches tall, 180 to 190 pounds, with black hair in twists, a heavy beard, brown eyes, and tattoos on his neck and arms; he may have Wanda tattooed on his neck. He was last seen wearing a red or white t-shirt, black shorts, and red tennis shoes. The case remains an active investigation and tips can be submitted anonymously.

If anyone was at the Julia P. Bryant field or saw Willie around the time he disappeared, can you share what you remember?
