Jared Hanna was 28 when he was last seen by his sister at his Jerseyville, Illinois home on the morning of July 2, 2011. A single father of two young daughters, he left around 11:30 a.m. with fishing gear and bait; surveillance later captured him buying a soda at a local Amoco. That was the last confirmed sighting.

His abandoned 1990 GMC Sierra was found July 5 on the side of Jolliff Bridge Road in Centralia, about 70 miles from his home. The truck was out of gas and its interior appeared ransacked; a fishing pole and tackle box were inside but his guitar and amplifier were missing. Cell phone records show his phone last pinged a Centralia tower at 9:30 p.m. on the night he disappeared and then went dark.

Several possible sightings near the truck were reported: a motorist said they saw a man matching Jared walking around midnight July 3, and a resident reported a man fitting his description asking for water and directions around 8:30 a.m. that morning before walking east. A black shoulder bag belonging to Jared was recovered in October 2011 on the banks of Crooked Creek about 1.5 miles from where the truck was abandoned. Does anyone have information about Jared’s movements in Centralia that weekend?
