Jeffery Charles Cockrum, known as Jeff, was 43 when he went missing from Lathrop, Missouri. He was last seen on July 19, 2005. Described as a white male with brown hair showing some gray, brown eyes, 5 feet 10 inches and about 160 pounds, he had a mustache, a long goatee and several tattoos on his upper left arm, right forearm and upper right arm. He was believed to be wearing a white T-shirt and may have been barefoot when last seen.

Jeff frequented bars in nearby Kearney and Smithville. The Lathrop Police Department and the Missouri State Highway Patrol list his case as endangered missing and indicate foul play is suspected, but very few public details exist about what happened on or after July 19. The investigation remains open. Does anyone have information about Jeff’s movements in Lathrop, Kearney or Smithville around July 2005?
