Jarvis Merricks was 30 when he was last seen on November 29, 2016, in Auburndale, Florida. His vehicle was found abandoned that day near James Avenue and Dairy Road, but he was not initially reported missing and efforts to contact him were unsuccessful.

In February 2021 personal items, including Merricks’ driver’s license, were recovered in a wooded area near Kenwood Grove Lane, close to where the car had been located. That discovery prompted law enforcement to list him as a missing person and classify the case as endangered missing. The items were found near a grassy field, but no significant breakthrough has been reported and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear.

Does anyone who lived or worked near James Avenue, Dairy Road or Kenwood Grove Lane in late 2016 remember seeing Merricks, his vehicle, or anything unusual that could help investigators?
