Jay-Quan Mosley was nine months old when he disappeared in Jacksonville, Florida, on April 22, 2004. He was last seen that day with his mother, Lynda Wilkes, at a strip mall on Dunn Avenue. The mother and infant were picked up by Jay-Quan’s father, John Mosley, who later said he drove them briefly and returned them to the mall. Neither Jay-Quan nor Wilkes were seen alive again. Wilkes’s family reported her missing after she failed to collect other children from school; her car was later found abandoned at the mall.

Two weeks after the disappearance, Wilkes’s burned body was found in a remote area of Alachua County. Investigators treated the case as a homicide; Jay-Quan’s body was never recovered despite an extensive search. John Mosley was arrested and charged with both deaths. At trial prosecutors presented testimony that Mosley strangled Wilkes and suffocated Jay-Quan by placing him in a plastic bag, disposing of their bodies separately. Mosley was convicted of both murders, received life for Wilkes’s death and a death sentence for Jay-Quan’s murder. Jay-Quan’s remains still have not been found.

If anyone knew Jay-Quan or has information about his whereabouts or final resting place, please share what you know.
