Case Episode 32 | The Disappearance of Lester "LJ" Jones | The Last Call, the Last Stop, and the Lost Opportunity

On the cold evening of Monday, January 11, 2010, in Starkville, Mississippi, 26 year old Lester “LJ” Jones, Jr. had set plans to visit his fraternity brothers in Jackson, Mississippi for a regular meet up.

It was supposed to be a typical drive for Lester from Starkville to Jackson. He even stopped passed his mother’s home in Tupelo to visit his brother before his trip to Jackson.

LJ had it all planned out, but something happened somewhere in between. We do know what was supposed to be a quick stop at a local Exxon (now Shell) gas station at the Sprint Mart in Flowood, only 15 minutes away from Jackson, turned to be the last known location of LJ on record. There is footage of him there, but somehow things go dark.

Until, there was an odd discovery, a cell phone found in the men’s restroom. It was an oddity because the phone belonged to LJ, but he had already left the gas station and assumingly en route up the road to Jackson.

After 15 years of questions, mystery, calls, and theories, it makes you question if someone had a hand in this, LJ decided to leave on his own volition, or something else like an accident. Since 2010, there has been no trace left of LJ or his 2002 Ford Expedition — both just vanished.
