Iron Jailen Cannon was 27 when he was last seen on October 18, 2020, in Wadsworth, Ohio. His family reported him missing the next day, and investigators soon treated the disappearance as a homicide after evidence indicated he had been shot and killed. Social media, cellphone and bank activity stopped after his disappearance, supporting the conclusion he was likely deceased.

Wadsworth police arrested seven people in connection with the case: Justin D. Hornbeck, Tyrone L. Render, Autumn M. Knight, Marcus Y. Clark, Christopher J. Williams, Samantha P. McCune and Antonio W. Moore. Indictments include murder, tampering with evidence, obstructing justice and gross abuse of a corpse. Authorities say the investigation uncovered an elaborate cover-up involving misleading law enforcement, destroying evidence and concealing Cannon’s remains.

Cannon’s body has not been recovered; investigators believe his remains were hidden as part of the alleged cover-up. Multiple agencies, including the U.S. Marshals and the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, have been involved and Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County has offered a reward for information leading to recovery of his remains. Does anyone have information about Cannon’s whereabouts or the events of October 18, 2020?
