Jody Dallas Pennington, 49, vanished from Arkansas in March 2025. The last known contact with him was March 10, 2025. Pennington is described as a white male, 6 feet 1 inch, 180–200 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, reading glasses, a scar across the top of his nose and a full sleeve tattoo featuring a skull.

At the time he disappeared he was driving a distinctive red 1995 Ford F-150 single-cab with Arkansas plate 686ZCU, a white Razorback decal on the back windshield with bullet hole stickers and a gray toolbox in the bed. Flock cameras detected the truck in Pine Bluff on March 12, 2025. The vehicle was recovered in Grant County on August 23, 2025; Pennington was not with it. The Jacksonville Police Department is handling the investigation.

The truck’s movement from Pine Bluff to Grant County and the absence of Pennington when the vehicle was found leave key questions about what happened after March 12. Anyone with information about Jody Pennington’s whereabouts or who saw that truck is asked to come forward.
