Jason Allen Ashley, 31, of Vicksburg, Mississippi, was last seen on May 23, 2010, leaving Pig Willie’s, a bar on U.S. 61 North. He called his mother that evening to say he would be home soon but never arrived; his family reported him missing on May 27, 2010. On June 11 his gray 2000 Jeep Cherokee was found abandoned off Floweree Road, about three miles from his home in northern Warren County.

The area around the vehicle, including parts of the Mahannah Wildlife Management Area, was searched extensively by authorities and volunteers on foot, horseback, and using 4-wheelers, but searches turned up no significant clues. Family members say Jason knew the area well and think foul play may be involved because he likely would have called for help if he had simply gotten stuck.

If anyone has information about Jason’s movements on May 23, 2010, or saw his Jeep near Floweree Road, please come forward with details.
