Senate Bill 289 will introduce a statewide Green Alert plan that will work almost exactly as the Silver and Amber alerts, but for veterans.
"The Green Alert plan would create a plan of action similar to an Amber Alert or Silver Alert which we have here in the state of West Virginia," said Sen. Ryan Weld, of Brooke County. "But it would be for a veteran or current military member who is known to suffer from some mental or emotional behavioral issues and has gone missing."

"I think it's important because we have such a high concentration of veterans in this state and the numbers, for example, on veteran suicide are really alarming," said Sen. Stephen Baldwin, of Greenbrier County.

Just like an Amber or Silver Alert, if an at-risk veteran went missing, the Green Alert would get information out to the public quicker and help law enforcement create a plan on how to deal with the situation.

"You see the signs on the highways, the electronic signs, that can be changed – lookout for this vehicle," Weld told WSAZ. "Same exact thing, the things that we see in place now for those programs would be put into place for the green alert programs."

The bill says the Secretary of the Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety will establish the plan and authorize the media to alert the public when an at-risk veteran goes missing.

Wisconsin was the first state to have a Green Alert system and West Virginia would be the second, if implemented.

The bill is up for a second reading in the Senate on Friday.

Police find vehicle of veteran who went missing in Scottsdale
[...]

Conger’s twin sister, Patricia, told KTAR News in August that Jesse talked about harming himself in the days leading up to his departure.

[...]

“He was paranoid,” Patricia said of her brother’s recent behavior. “He thought people were following him. He thought that he needed to protect his family.”

He has two children who live with their mother in Las Vegas.

Initially, it was thought Jesse could be headed to Mexico, but Patricia said at the time she no longer believed that was the case.

After a quick google search, I found this post on Jesse's family facebook page they set up for his case. Patricia Conger, Jesse's twin sister posted:

"... Our family and Jesse’s closest friends are in agreement with my assessment of what happened:
On August 14, 2019, Jesse took his firearm, the two bottles of pills, Xanax and Tramadol, and drove into the middle of nowhere and took his own life.
...
1.) He purchased Xanax, a dangerous drug that he knows makes him paranoid and forgetful, and started taking high doses of it.
2.)He left his service dog Oreo, money, and all means of communication in Natasha’s apartment.
3.)He drove in the exact opposite direction of his children.
4.) He drove until he came to a section of desert with no lights and turned down a small, dark dirt road.
5.) He drove to the very end a treacherous road that he knew would be impossible for him to drive back out of.
6.) He got out and walked away from the car.
7.) When he got to the place he was going, he swallowed all the pills and if that didn't kill him, he had his pistol as back up."​

As of right now, it doesn't appear that Jesse has been found. However, as evidenced by this Facebook post, it appears that he is now presumed deceased. Deepest condolences to Jesse's family and loved ones.

It looks like right now that his family is just trying to get on the reservation to see if they can find his remains.

This is so sad and tragic. Regardless of the jurisdictional challenges they are going through, the Tribal Nations in the area are practically on lock down. The one near me in Northern Arizona isn't accept any visitors at all due to the coronavirus running absolutely rampant through their communities :(

Patricia said reservation authorities assured her they will take up the search for Jesse Monday in the surrounding desert.

“It is their jurisdiction, and now as I understand, sacred land, and I appreciate their help,” Patricia said.

Jesse Conger served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. After returning home he suffered from PTSD and was suicidal, his family told 12 News.

There is a Google map here where you can see where the family has already looked from early on before the vehicle was found.

We are working on finding help from search dogs or more specifically, cadaver dogs. We’re keeping the location private so that the dogs can have a relatively undisturbed area to work in. If anyone is able to volunteer help with dogs, can you please get in contact with me? Either through messenger or on my phone 619-871-7097. Thank you.
