Elton Orlando Jackson, 58, vanished from Jackson, Mississippi after reportedly telling his girlfriend he was going to walk to a nearby store and never returned. He was officially reported missing on January 3, 2017, and the case was classified as endangered missing.

In March 2023 human cranial remains were found near a car wash on Terry Road in Jackson. The skull was fully skeletonized and entered into NamUs as UP112359. Forensic evidence submitted to Othram produced a genealogical lead and DNA reference testing confirmed the remains were those of Elton Orlando Jackson, born May 25, 1958. The identification removed him from missing-person status, but no date or cause of death has been publicly established.

This case moves from a simple errand to a years-long absence and finally to identification, yet many questions about what happened after he left for the store remain unanswered. If anyone knew Elton, saw him that day, or has information about the Terry Road area in 2016–2017, please share what is known.
