Jason Richard Lierl, 41, was last seen in the rural area between Capps Ranches Road in Benton County and County Road 1101 in Madison County, Arkansas, on or around January 25, 2022. Known as Jay, he was described as 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches, 140 to 170 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Distinctive marks include an Iron Cross tattoo on his right upper arm, the words Cruss 1-11-12 on his right forearm, and a scar on his abdomen. At the time he disappeared he was reportedly wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, tan Army-style boots and possibly a flannel shirt.

His personal effects have been found at four different locations: Fayetteville, Benton County and Madison County, Arkansas, and Eagle Rock, Missouri. His car was recovered abandoned at the Northwest Arkansas Mall in Fayetteville; his motorcycle remained at his Madison County home. His phone last pinged in Madison County on January 27, 2022, but the device itself has never been recovered. Family members reported an unsettled period before his disappearance as he was in the process of divorcing after fourteen years of marriage; accounts differ about whether he had substance abuse problems. The FBI and local agencies have offered a reward of up to $30,000 for information leading to his location and recovery.

What can readers who were in those areas in late January 2022 remember about Jason or his movements that might help explain the scattered locations of his belongings?
