Jarrett Brooks was 16 when he vanished from his family’s home in Joseph City, Arizona, on the morning of July 4, 2023. The previous day he had been grounded for taking his father’s vehicle; on the morning he confirmed with his mother that the grounding stood. Between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m. surveillance footage shows him taking a handgun from his father’s safe and leaving the residence on Boyce Drive. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt with AMERICA on the front, blue jeans, cowboy boots and a dark baseball cap. He is described as a Caucasian male with blond hair, brown eyes, a faint cleft lip scar, about six feet tall and 140 pounds.

A neighbor reported seeing a young man matching his description walking through a pasture carrying a handgun around 7:00 a.m.; when the neighbor later tried to approach, the person was gone. Jarrett left his wallet and any cash at home and also had a pocket knife. K-9 teams picked up his scent initially but lost it on the west side of town. Reported sightings placed him in Winslow, about 22 miles away, and investigators later executed search warrants in Joseph City and Phoenix to review cyber communications.

Does anyone in Joseph City or the Winslow area remember seeing Jarrett around July 4, 2023, or have information about travel to the Texas locations mentioned?
