Lester Raymond Jones Jr., 26, was last seen January 11, 2010, in Starkville, Mississippi, while traveling to visit friends in Jackson. His last confirmed sighting was captured on surveillance at a Sprint Mart in Flowood at about 10:18 p.m. that night. His cell phone was later found in the gas station restroom, and he has had no contact or confirmed sightings since. He was driving a blue 2002 Ford Expedition with Mississippi plate KTW-714 when he disappeared.

Jones was a student at Mississippi State University. He has several distinctive tattoos: LJ on his chest, JESUS on his back, a pit bull on his left arm, and a quote reported as To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering, possibly on his back. The Starkville Police Department investigated and the case remains open; his family continues to seek answers.

If anyone saw Lester, the blue Expedition, or has information about his movements that night, please contact the authorities.
